You know, I'll tell you, I do have an idea, I've been thinking of going into welding, it's a new field but not so new that it isn't establishedOf course I think that plastics or television is the thing to come, but it's undependable yet, and I don't have the education for that, I have to face it
That sounds all right, JoeyIt's not such a snooty profession, but maybe in a couple of years you'll be able to own a store
A shop, shop, that isn't anything to be ashamed of
They discuss it, decide he must go to night school for a year until he is trainedThe thought makes him moodyI won't be able to see you so much, maybe only a couple of nights a week, I'm wondering if that's such a healthy thing
Oh, Joey, you don't understand me, when my mind is made up it's made up, I can wait, you don't have to worry about meShe laughs softly, warmly
He begins a very hard year, working for forty-four hours in the http://www.irluxury.com/scategory_21_Tiffany-Jewelry.html" target="_blank warehouse, eating his quick supper, and striving to remain alert in the classrooms and workshops at nightHe gets home at twelve, goes to bed, and drags himself up to meet the next morningOn Tuesday and Thursday nights he sees Natalie after class, staying up till two and three in the morning to the displeasure of her parents and the nagging of his mother
They have fights over this
Joey, I've got nothing against the girl, she's probably a very nice girl, but you're not ready to get married, for the girl's sake I don't want you to get marriedShe wouldn't want to live in a place not so nice
But that's what you don't understand, that's where you underestimate her, she knows what we'll have to face, it isn't as if we're going into it blindfolded
Look, Mama, I'm twenty-one, I've been a good son to you, haven't I, I've worked hard, I'm entitled to a little pleasure, a little happiness
Joey, you talk as if http://www.ooluxury.com/categorys_103_Chanel-Necklaces_1.html" target="_blank I begrudge it to you, of course you've been a good sonI want you to have all the joys in the world, but you're ruining your health, you're staying out late, and you're going to be taking on too much responsibilityOh (tears form in her eyes), it's only your happiness I want, you should understand thatWhen the time comes I'll be happy for you to be married, and I only hope you should get a wife who deserves you
But I don't even deserve Natalie
Nonsense! Nothing is too good for you
Mama, you got to face itI'm going to get marriedNu, you've got a half year yet, and then you got to find a job with this weldingI only want you should keep an open mind on the question, and when the time comes we'll see
But my mind's made upIt's no longer an issueI swear, Mama, you make me so upset
She becomes silent, and they eat for a few minutes without speaking, both troubled, both absorbed with new arguments http://www.ualuxury.com/categorys_105_Chanel-Earrings_1.html" target="_blank they are loath to use for fear of beginning it againAt last she sighs and looks at him
Joey, you shouldn't say anything of what I said about Natalie, I've got nothing against her, you know thatCautious, half convinced, she is beginning to hedge the bet

He graduates from welding school, gets a job for twenty-five dollars, and they get marriedThe wedding presents come to almost four hundred dollars, enough for a bedroom set from a department store, and a couch and two chairs for the living roomThey extend their furniture with a few pictures, an inaccurate calendar scene of cows in a pasture at sunset, a cheap reproduction of "The Blue Door" and a Maxfield Parrish from an advertisementOn an end table, Natalie puts their wedding pictures, joined like book covers in a double frameHis mother gives them a whatnot and a collection of tiny painted cups and saucers with plump nude angels chasing around the http://www.enluxury.com/scategory_2_Chanel.html" target="_blank circumferenceThey settle down in their three-room flat, and are very happy, very warm and absorbed in each otherBy the end of the first year he is making thirty-five a week, and they are moving through the regular ordained orbit of friends and relativesJoey becomes adept at bridgeTheir marital storms are infrequent and quickly lost, the memories of them buried in the avalanche of pleasant and monotonous trivia that makes up their life
Once or twice there is some tension between themJoey, they decide, is very virile and the knowledge that she wants him less often than he needs her is bitter and sometimes uglyThis is not to say that their matings always fail or that they even talk or brood about it a good dealBut still he is a little balked at timesHe cannot understand her unpredictable coldness; during their engagement she had been so passionate in her petting
