Jenna Bush is getting married today, and while our invitation may have been lost in the mail, that will not stop us from getting in the White House wedding spirit! The Associated Press agrees with me — even though no media get to cover the event, they've put together a something old, new, blue White House quiz that I've borrowed from here. . . . see if you catch the bouquet or wind up holding back the maid of honor's hair.
DearSugar and Stuck Sasha need your help. She's found the man of her dreams, but he's not ready to make a commitment. While he says that he wants to settle down one day, she's not sure if she can trust such a vague promise. Should she hold out for the love of her life to one day be ready, or should she cut her losses and hope to find another man who's more stable for her future?
Dear Sugar,
I have been with my current boyfriend for one year. I'll start off by saying he is someone I can really see myself marrying. We have a wonderful, loving relationship. He is one of the most trustworthy, caring, and dependable individuals I have ever met. Our sex life is simply amazing, and we share many of the same passions. I am in my mid twenties and he is seven years older than me. He is an established musician and was recently away on tour, which left me a lot of time to myself to think. I started to get this anxious feeling about "where this is going." I know that we haven't been together very long in the grand scheme of things, but I started to get very worried about our future. Since the early months of our relationship, he has made it very clear that he does not anticipate being financially or emotionally ready to get married and have children within the next five years. Since I am only three years out of college, I hadn't even been thinking about settling down, so this declaration was never an issue. However, while he was gone, it really made me start to panic. I started to wonder if he will ever be ready to settle down. His music is his passion and I would never want to take that away from him, but he just seems so content constantly traveling and networking that I don't see him wanting to settle down with me — even after five years!
The dilemma this creates for me is that in five years, I'll be in my thirties and ready to have a husband and a family. I'm afraid that if I stay with him, I will end up with a man who won't commit, and I will have wasted my chance to find love in my 20s. I've tried to talk to him about this, but he stands by his decision. He says that he loves me, and that he thinks he will eventually have a family, but he can't promise anything. He's a free spirit and says that he has no idea what his life holds. He says he wants to be with me, but he understands if I'm not willing to take a gamble on my future. This is in no way an issue of trust — I have never trusted a man more than I trust him. He is not the type that would ever cheat — he is a loving, honest man, which is why he won't make me a promise he can't keep. What should I do? Gamble with my ultimate goal of having a husband and children in order to stay with my perfect guy or cut my losses and try to move on while I still have the chance?
Blackwater's Iraq Contract Renewed For At Least Another Year Last fall, Blackwater Worldwide was in deep peril. Guards for the security company were involved in a shooting in September that left at least 17 Iraqis dead at a Baghdad intersection. Outrage over the killings prompted the Iraqi government to demand Blackwater's ouster from the country, and led to a criminal investigation by the FBI, a series of internal investigations by the State Department and the Pentagon, and high-profile Congressional hearings. 5 Comments

This curious little orange guy thought he'd be a brave kitty and venture outside into the big, bad world. One look into the camera, though, and he lets out a heartbreakingly tiny "meow!" That's when mama cat comes out and puts an end to the shenanigans. All right, that's enough adventure for today!
