Quote of the Day.

Rob: "I buy you a $250 watch and you put it in a drawer with tools and a rotting banana?!"
Me: "I guess I should take this ring out of the drawer, too?"

Back Story:

Often times, I "clean up" by shoving my crap in a drawer or a bag and put it "away" in the corner of the guest bedroom. It drives Rob nuts. I don't just put stuff in any drawer, I do have a system and that is to only put my crap in the kitchen drawer and the drawer in the family room that is attached to the bar. I also put my crap in grocery store bags and put them in the guest bedroom. This way, I only have a few places to look when things go missing. I think what drives him even more batty is I typically find the missing items within 10 mins which indicates the system is working! (for me)

Toddlers can toddle. -Rob

That's What She/He Said

I love the moments when someone says something - in all seriousness - but catches everyone so off guard, that everyone goes silent then burst out laughing in unison. Tonight I'm going to share some of these recent moments with you.

When: A few months ago
Who was there: Rob, me, mom, dad, mother in law and father in law
The scene: At my parent's dining room table. In a rare moment of silence, my father in law says "I'm addicted to reading obituaries"

***

When: Two days ago
Who was there: Rob and I with friends Maryanne and
Brian, Dorothy and Keith and Jen and Brad.
The scene: At Jen and Brad's kitchen table. We were eating artichokes among other things when Brian inquires about the aioli that is to go with the artichoke. Brad replies "Isn't aioli the thing around the nipple?"

When: Today
Who was there: Me and Jen
The scene: Jen and I were driving to breakfast in Jen's car when her seatbelt started making a squeaking noise. I said "You should put some DSW on that - isn't that what it's called?" To which Jen replied, "Don't you mean WD-40?"
