More from The Slime That Men Do

As I've written, this fall I'll be doing some publicity for the book and a big appearance at the Toronto Women's Show October 27th. Chick Show
Hope to see you there, they're even putting up this gorky publicity shot I had done recently, but I'm not in a place yet where I'm ready to share that here!

JUST GOT MARRIED… TO A SLIME. - Tamara L’Ecuyer

I got married in September 1993. We didn't have any plans for a honeymoon but thought that it would fall into place just before the wedding. We were both young and naive...We took 1 week off of work and figured we'd either stay around town (we live 15 mins from Niagara Falls) or go somewhere not to far. Well it turns out that with a suggestion from my new husband, we ended up going to Edmonton, Alberta. WHO DOESN’T WANT TO HONEYMOON THERE, THEY HAVE A BIG MALL.

That is not the problem. The problem is that we drove through the US in a little GMC S10 pick up truck (for 2 days that is), No hotel or gas station wanted to take Canadian money at 11:00 at night, so we slept in the truck bed in a bank parking lot ( in Michigan) until it was opened at 9:00 am. OH THAT’S THE PROBLEM.

It turns out that if you don't have a bank account or know someone with one, they don't want to take Canadian money either, but after begging the teller for about 15 minutes I talked them into exchanging $60.00 just so that we could get gas because that is all we needed.
THIS SEEMS TO BE GOING VERY WELL.

After all of that we didn't stay in a hotel to have some "newlywed privacy", no we had to stay with one of my NEW husbands best friends who it turns out is living in a trailer that was converted from a bus .CLASSY.

...I guess I should have figured out that this was not a good start to the marriage because as you can guess, we are now divorced.....NO, SHOCKING. YOU MEAN THIS DIDN’T WORK OUT???

I hope you get a good laugh out of this, because I still laugh at it and so do my friends.
