In my office on the computer, when I hear Kenny calling from the living room, “COME HERE! QUICK!!” I race down the hall to find him staring, entranced, by a commercial for a “Complete EZ Garage Tool Organization Kit.” He’s got the same expression on his face I get when we pass the local bakery […]
Don’t Try This at Home
Happy Friday, everybody! A family member sent me this story, and since I love anything that makes me laugh out loud, I decided to share it in lieu of a personal post. Thanks, Aunt Fern, for submitting my first guest blog (even inadvertently! :) For anyone who’s been married for longer than, say, a week, […]
Mars and Venus in the House
So apparently studies show that a primary cause of marital stress is a couple’s inability to communicate. I’m not sure how much money was spent on this assuredly award-winning conclusion (which in no way threatens the first-place position of the red-wine-is-good-for-your-health study team, who takes home the gold EVERY YEAR, but it could come in […]
Drawer, One. Me, Zero.
In the bathroom, getting ready for date-night dinner out, dancing and singing (with considerably more volume than talent) to “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” (a great song, inexplicably relegated to the Oldies list on Pandora by a group of 22-yr-old idiot rappers). Just TRY not to shake it a little to “Just wan-uh, Just wan-uh-uh, […]
Diet Brownies? I’ll Take a Dozen, Please
Kenny and I thought we were looking at bit, well…married, so we decided to go on a diet together. Loosely translated, this means he cuts back on chip dip and knocks off a quick 10 pounds, while I’m down the hall charting the pros and cons of various weight-loss options and why they NEVER WORK. […]
Dear eHarmony, Have You Seen My Wife?
I love dealing with small-town banks. The staff knows you and they know your spending habits, so when something seems a little off, they call you up and ask what’s going on. Quite frankly, it’s easier to hide “unauthorized spending” from your spouse than from Cindy Lou at your local credit union. HE may never […]
Anybody Got a Spare PIN Number?
So a big football game is coming on (somebody vs. somewhere), and given my staggering lack of interest in all things football (3 older brothers, 2 dads, and an ex-husband have pretty much sucked the football out of my happy bubble), he decides to head down to the local Elk’s Lodge bar, to cheer, stomp, […]
