Shit Heard Around this House!!

[christie]

While modeling my new pink converse, "You know you are old when you have to putcha ortho insoles in your new kicks!"

[Andrea]

My honey and I are having a common conversation with me asking why I married him after he does a particularly boy type thing...

Rene: Mumbles something I don't understand....
Me: What did you say?
Rene: Starts with the history of the earth (or so it seemed to me), blah, blah, blah.....Beyonce....blah, blah, blah.....song.....blah, blah, blah....
Me: So you did a parody on a song? Guess I am a little slow today.
Rene: Slow? In a race between you and a snail, I am betting on the snail.

I laughed AFTER I punched him in the arm.

sitting on the couch the other evening...me on one side Jo on the other...im talking about the Prince needing a haircut and this and that and Jo pops off with

"honey,you need a haircut too. You're losing your mullet"

me:

Jo:

shit heard around Lowes today.

as i was wheeling all the mulch,compost and soil out to the car some bags fell off...while jo went to unload her hands i went againt a direct order and picked up the soil bags and laid them back on the pile...well i shouldnt have done that...Jo sent me back inside the Garden Center to give them some empty plastic planters...as i walked i had a realization so as i walked back to where Jo was i kinda yelled out...

"yanno back in my young dyke days,with a little more shoulder action this was my swag walk....now its my "oh god my back hurts so bad i can barely walk" walk!

Jess and I were out and about today near the Blue Ridge Parkway. There is one stretch of Highway 58 that seems to have an "antique/junk" shop every 15 feet.

It was sweltering today on the mountain. We were tired, hot and were picking and choosing which shops we wanted to stop at. Jess spotted one coming up and said, "I don't think we want to stop at that one," and proceeds to zoom on past.

Aghast as missing one that obviously had some of the things that we collect, "But Daddy! Thats the GOOD junk!"

Needless to say, there was a Uturn. I love how my Jess indulges me!

[christie]

I have been in the kitchen most of the day, making preserves, jams, syrups and canning them. I still have things all over the place because I am not nearly done for the night - just taking a break while Jess makes dinner.

Jess is overly tidy and organized in the kitchen. Thirty plus years of being a professional chef means that my different organization (to Jess, its disorganized) makes Jess' head want to explode. However, she works around it, usually without complaint.

I just heard noises that sounded like my canning crap is getting in the way. Followed by, "When's the mercury retrograde supposed to be over?"

Me: "I dunno, but I don't think its any time soon."

Jess, VERY perturbed: "Well, it needs to hurry the fuck on up!"

I couldn't agree more....

Ebon and I were driving down the road and slowed at a red light. I stopped just behind a turn in for a Sonic and then I realized that it was the entrance opening and not the exit, so I scooted up some in case someone behind me wanted in.

No sooner did I do that, but some lady took the long way around the parking lot and came up to the entrance to exit, which was blocked by me at that point. I started mumbling about her just "having" to wait until I'd pulled up and yada yada yada about her going out the wrong way and just fussing in general.

Ebon rubs my shoulder and says, "Don't beat yourself up. It's not your fault. How could you know that she'd do that? Don't worry about it. Let's talk about something else." in an incredibly annoying tone of voice.

Insert the creation, deliverance and receipt of "THE EYE" from me to him.

I say, "Do NOT dismiss me!"

Ebon says, as he pats my knee, "I'm not, honey. I'm just being patronizing."



Let's just say, the man is DAMN lucky the light changed at that moment.

No apologies necessary. We torment one another regularly and both of us have a VERY sharp edge to our wit.

I'll get him back.

[always2late]

My friend and I discussing how fast our kids are growing up:

L: Oh my God, they are getting so big so fast. It makes me feel so old. Do you realize I'm almost 28?

Me: Are you crazy?? I WISH I was 28! You DO realize I'm 43 right?

L: Yeah, but you're like the Halle Berry 43 and I'm the Gary Coleman 28!!


*I laughed so hard I almost wet my pants...sigh another sign of getting older. LOL*

So I have this canning/jam addiction. It requires many things from Wally World. We live 60 miles from anywhere other than Wally World, so in as much as I dislike their employment practices as well as it being a concerted effort to buy things NOT made in china, we do support our local economy quite a bit. Especially when I am canning.

If Jess is driving (which happens most times, I commute enough during the week, I usually don't drive any on the weekends), it takes her SO long to get situated and get the car started and out of the parking lot. Its usually 8000 degrees and all I want is the AC on and to escape the parking lot before another person decides to engage me in some inane conversation telling me their woes.

We have had many, many, many, MANY conversations (ok, me snipping at Jess, really) about how long it takes to take cigarettes out of pocket, find sunglasses, put on seatbelt, fumble for cigarettes, take one out of the pack, put the pack back in the console, fumble for a lighter that has usually fallen to the bottom of the console, check the seatbelt and FINALLY, bless the gods, put the key in the ignition and turn on the AC. All while I have been melting in the passenger seat, wishing I had gotten a couple of bottles of water to stave off the dehydration sure to ensue. Don't even get me started on how long it actually takes to back out of the parking space and drive the 500 feet to the highway. I should start packing a lunch.

Last weekend, we get the cart unloaded, hop in the car and I suppose I *might* have given Jess "the LOOK" and a, "HONEY!!!" as the pre-flight check began. Not missing a beat, she looks over at me and says, "I bet I can get you out of this parking lot in 30 minutes or less! Just like Domino's pizza, baby!"

I might have laughed till I cried and maybe wet myself a lil!

hrmph... I have YET to have an accident in a parking lot... safety first baby, I gots precious cargo on board!

priceless!! safety first, indeed. At least you weren't like me, sitting in a parked car waiting on my son...when a woman in an SUV hit me, then proceeded to say "I was on the cell phone and didn't see you."

Did someone mention that it would take less time to walk home from Wally World?

I tend to take a while to get going too, however, what happens when I get in the car is the following:

get in
pull skirt in, if wearing one, cuz they always drag
shut door
lock door
turn key
a/c on

THEN, and only then, I fiddle with the other stuff.

I melt too.

[DapperButch]

Doesn't anybody open the windows to get all the hot air out before turning on the A/C? Only for a moment or two. As you take your turns to ride through/get out of the parking lot the cross winds really blow the hot air out. Much more efficient, I think!

Of course, I get in the car and immediately start moving as soon as the seat belt clicks.

It was our 4th anniversary and began with an early morning snuggle. Rene surprised me by bringing me flowers at work. I surprised him by taking the rest of the day off.

We went for dinner at our favorite restaurant and had a wonderful time and had a great time celebrating our love. We then sat on our patio and enjoyed the breeze and each others company. I had some things to do inside so bent and kissed his cheek as I always do.

Me: I love you, whiskers and all.

There is a pause as I began walking toward the house.....

Rene: Ditto!!

Wonder if there will be a 5th anniversary.
