Later that evening she applied ice to my jaw and placed a gentle kiss to my boo-boo. She packs a hefty wallop for such a little lady. (Just wait until she reads this...)
The very expensive (and unnecessary) items of her delight shall be delivered next Saturday. This gives you, my dear friends, exactly six days to arrive and take away one free, and heavy, leather sofa.
Hurry.
Now, she speaks of hardwood floors.

As rain has been forecast for our neck of the woods I think it's time for a nice pot of chili. Rainy windy weather and chili are kissing cousins. It's a fit made in heaven. (Think about it.)
So, if you excuse me it's time for me to hit the shower, dress, and drive. I'm slap out of ground beef. I know, hard to believe, but it's true.
Think I need another box of crackers too.
Later,
(Post Script - she just arrived home from church. I mentioned the chili and she said yes but first I need a haircut. She's a demon with shears. Pray for me.)

You and I had the same thought--there's a pot of chili simmering here, too.
ReplyDelete(Sorry about the sticker shock. There's more than one reason we shop for furniture second hand--no need to pay that much with small children, cats, and a dog living here with us.)
We actually checked several consignment shops but it's awful hard to find matching pieces. Hope you chili went down well. Thanks, my friend.
DeleteYes Stephen I have the same exact chair not cheap.No joking it is the exact same.Chili is always good have a good day sir.
ReplyDeleteFor the price it ought to wipe my butt....the chili was great. Second round tomorrow. Thanks, my friend.
DeleteResistance is futile........
ReplyDeleteEspecially after ignoring her request for years. Thanks, my friend.
DeleteI've cut Joe's hair for twelve years. When I realized I was just cutting a circular patch of hair (his dome already slick) I pulled out the razor and told him how fantastic he looked with a full head of skin. Consider the cost of haircuts she has saved you through the years. I'm betting your marriage is a lot like ours, and there are NO ears being flicked - just lots of harmony and smiles.
ReplyDeleteChuckle...I should get a crew cut, but with all these women running their fingers thru my locks...maybe not.
DeleteWell Seasoned Fool is right; no point is fighting it.
ReplyDeleteChili sounds wonderful. Now that our weather has turned cool, it's the season for it.
I like chili in the summer too but it just seems to taste better with cooler or rainy weather....
DeleteThanks, my friend.
A sign of a good marriage.
ReplyDeleteAnd maturity...
DeleteWHHHIIIIIPSHAAA!
ReplyDeleteAh, young feller, you day is nigh...just you wait.
DeleteI guess everybody gets new furniture ever so often. Makes the house look different or something.
ReplyDeleteYep, every thirty years or so...

ReplyDeleteHeh, at least she doesn't move it around every week or so just to confuse you, right? And Chili would be good right now!
ReplyDeleteNope, at least there's that....I'll save a bowl. Come on down.
DeleteI just finished defending your honor at PP's site.
ReplyDeleteNo one makes my buddy sit in the corner!
You're welcome. Is the check in the mail?
Thanks, dear lady...guess he doesn't understand 'tongue in cheek' humor. Besides, he's just a puppy....
DeleteHiding behind the women I see :)
DeleteYep, I'm bad like that....but when you're beat on a regular basis by the woman in your life you learn how to duck. I've a terminal flinch. Have a great day, Bubba.
DeleteAll I have to do now is loose the flinch! No more ducking for me. You are right, furniture shipping is baaaadd. But the chili on a cool rainy day? Mmm, mmm, good. The perfect chili weather is not far away for me!
ReplyDeleteI'm telling 'ya, Dean, my little wife whips me badly....enjoy the chili and it's nice to see you once again. Thanks.
