Personal 10 Commandments

By Meagan Dixon on November 20, 2008 8:00 AM | 3 Comments


One of my bestest friends in the whole world is a Navy man. He wrote a blog about his Personal Ten Commandments; let me share the intro paragraph with you,

During a Briefing by our Ship’s Chaplin, he described that when going into relationships (not just in the Navy) it is important to know your “personal ten commandments”. These are unspoken rules. Guidelines that you expect human kind to follow or believe they should follow. Dose that make sense? It’s kind of like… Rule: Ketchup should always go on before mustard. Or Rule: Always watch the previews when renting a DVD.

He went on to describe his own Personal 10 Commandments. But it got me thinking, what would my Personal 10 Commandments consist of? I have been making a list for about a week now, it’s actually a lot harder than it sounds, but without further ado – Meagan’s Personal Ten Commandments:

Cat in Heat

By Meagan Dixon on May 13, 2008 6:28 AM | 1 Comment


My cat is in heat. If anyone has ever been around a cat that is in heat I do not have to explain the life altering state of existence it can be to have a cat in heat living in your home. For those of you, whom have never been around a cat in heat, it is – with few exceptions – one of the most irritating things in the world. They will follow you around and howl at you in a bone chilling, hideous wail until you are ready to toss the stupid 4 legged creature outside and let it get pounded by the local tom’s.

35 Year Old Women

By Meagan Dixon on December 20, 2007 10:05 AM | 2 Comments

A recent study shows that 35 year old women have sex 3.5 times per week on average.

3.5 times per week!

All I have to say, I can not wait until I'm 35! That's the best reason for getting older that I've heard in a while!

Holiday Stress

By Meagan Dixon on November 15, 2007 1:12 PM | No Comments


The crisp scent of fall is in the air, and the holiday season is looming upon us all. Shopping, cooking, traveling, and merry making can add a lot of extra stress to our already overbooked lives. According to Webster, stress is a mentally or emotionally disruptive or upsetting condition occurring in response to adverse external influences and capable of affecting physical health, usually characterized by increased heart rate, a rise in blood pressure, muscular tension, irritability, and depression. So, what do you do if your mood turns blue amid all the red, green and gold?

We’ve all heard a hundred times that exercise, a balanced meal, and plenty of rest are the ingredients for a stress free lifestyle – but how do we incorporate these ingredients into the overflowing plate we’ve already got?

It's nice to know there are others

By Meagan Dixon on October 30, 2007 11:56 AM | 1 Comment

It seems so funny to me that when you need something - the perfect quote, a reliable stat to prove your point, a piece of reaffirming information - it comes to you. I have written about this . Today I found this letter, and it was just the thing I was looking for. The post in it's entirety can be found

Why I Write

By Meagan Dixon on August 14, 2007 12:44 PM | 2 Comments


I have had a couple of people question my desire to write in the past couple of weeks – which is not a bad thing. It is important to understand why we do the things we do.

What I find to be extremely interesting is that whenever I am faced with some question about life or another – the answer always seems to present itself to me – and sometimes I am even paying attention.

9 Phrases Women Use, and what they really mean

By Meagan Dixon on August 6, 2007 4:36 PM | 2 Comments

This is a forward I received that was actually worth sharing! Hope y'all enjoy!

1. Fine: This is the word a woman will use to end an argument when she is right and you need to shut up.

2. Five Minutes: If she's getting dressed, "five minutes" means a half hour. "Five minutes" is only "five minutes" if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3. Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. "Nothing" actually means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with "nothing" usually end in "fine." (See #1.)

4. Go Ahead: This is a dare... not permission. Don't do it!

5. [Loud Sigh]: This is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you're an idiot and wonders why she's wasting her time standing there and arguing about nothing. (See #3 for the definition of "nothing.")

6. That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. "That's okay" means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7. Thanks: If a woman is thanking you, do not question the gratitude, or faint. Just say "you're welcome."

8. Whatever: This is a woman's way of saying f*&# you. [Editor's Note: In JoseyLand, "whatever" can also easily replace "fine." Often does. See #1 for more info.]

9. Don't Worry About It--I Got It: This is another loaded statement, meaning she has told you to do something several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?" For the woman's response refer to #3.
