Shookoo Mah-Koo "What's up?" in Arabic.
Well, I had time of my own to play online a bit tonight. I got to looking at everyone's blog and several of them had the Life Expectacy Quiz. So I took it and it is decided that if I keep up my good sleeping habits, exercise regimene, and wear my seat belt (when SOP allows) I will live to be 90.2 years old. I'd say that's not too shaby. I don't mind living to be 120 if I am still in my right mind and can take care of myself (or my husband is there to take care of me (and I'm not too much of a burden on him)). I am suprised to see that being married hasn't made a positive impact on living longer, but in another study it was noted that married people are happier or less stressed or something to that effect -- you have someone to help take care of things and ease your duties as a productive human being so therefore life should be easier, if you will. Makes sense to me.

I am also in the process of learning to be Catholic. I am Methodist already, but my hubby is not. I would like to be the same religion to go to church together, to have similar values of faith, and for our children's sake (when we have them). *Parents and In-Laws don't hold your breath on that one; it should be a while still, but I have decided that I like the name Elizabeth Augustine. Funny thing is that her initials would be EAT!?!? What the $^*%? As long as she didn't insist on three letter monogram towels we'd be okay. Anyway, back to Catholicism...I have been going to Mass for two Sundays now and have spoken to the priest about my wishes to convert. I told him the story and he seemed very supportive. As I am not a Catholic, yet, I have been mumbling through a few prayers which I have just found online. So now I will at least know all the words. If you are Catholic tell me what you like most about the religion. If you are not Catholic, and you also like your religion you can tell me why. If you are not religious or simply would rather not discuss that topic you should take the Health Quiz and let me know how long your are expected to live!
