This is what my husband told me yesterday. So, what does that say about him, that he's married to an idiotic nerd!
I am a nerd, though I have always felt that I have been a rather balanced nerd! :) I did date the homecoming prince in high school, though being on the speech and debate team I think that I brought down his popularity factor much more than he brought mine up! I was one of the only girl surfers in my high school too, though I quickly learned that boy surfers would much rather date someone who lays on the beach and looks good than is out there in the lineup. Beauty over brawn, right?
Apparently, I am still a 30 year old nerd. I love to read, I like to write, I get upset when my students do shitty on their assignments, I play bunko, I swing dance, and I still like to listen to They Might Be Giants. On the flip side, I have great hair (i should after 140 dollar cuts), still surf (well, not since I've been 3 months pregnant), and am married to a manly man non-nerd type (though, believe me, he does have his nerdy moments, though being a nerd does not suit him as well as it does me!).
So, not to get too Revenge of the Nerds on you, I've come to realize that nerds tend to be more interesting, more successful, and a lot more fun to hang out with!
I'm not going to begin to discuss the idiot part of the title of this blog. He got in trouble for that one. :)

Dear Cheryl,
What's wrong with being a nerd? Look at me, I'm one!
Let's start with being athletic. Who else, but a female nerd, would snow ski in a blizzard, have a frost bitten nose, and not to mention what is underneath the nose (at this point most people look away). It much funner and more interesting than sitting by a warm fire and looking gorgeous.
You are a fabulous nerd-on your behalf, I'll toast to nerds this holiday season, but not you, remember, I am your Mother.
Love,
Mom
I'm planning to build a super-computing cluster as a recreational activity, but at least I don't blog, Poindexter.
