Men . . . Honestly

Mike read my blog and said, Your nose is not getting bigger, what are you talking about, this is ridiculous. I replied, Yes, it is so getting bigger. He puffs, How do you know, did you MEASURE IT? Of course I didn't MEASURE IT. A glance in the mirror tells me all the unfortunate data I need to know. How would you measure your nose anyhow? Men . . . honestly.

Then he tells me to hurry up and get ready to go look at roofs (we need a new roof) and glasses frames. I was working (emailing) at the computer. I said, I'm getting my shower. He said, No, you are not. I said, Yes, I am getting my shower now. He said, No, you are sitting at the computer. Doesn't he know I was multi-tasking. I was sitting at the computer and MENTALLY PREPARING for my shower. Men . . . honestly.

So we go out to the shingles store. Except we don't have an exact address, so I should rather say, We went out to SEARCH for the shingles store. The roofer just told Mike, 38th Avenue and 30th Street. So, we don't even know which side of 38th Avenue he's talking about. We drive up and down one end of 30th St. Then we cross over the BUSY 38th to the other end of 30th. Up and down, reading all the storefronts. Finally, The Smart One says, Stop and ask someone!!!! So, he finds out the shingles store is down some little lane, but we're still not finding it as this is an industrial area and some of the buildings have no sign. We finally check out Eagle Enterprises at THE VERY END and that is it. I'm so glad I rushed to get my shower so we could drive all over everywhere killing time. Men . . . honestly.

Then we drove across town in heavy rush hour traffic, to the vision store because Mike needs new glasses, he surely does. At least we found the place, we've been there before. Too bad it was closed. CLOSED ON THURSDAY. A quick call and we would have avoided that one. Men . . . honestly. I will say, though, it should have been opened, seems like it USED to be open on Thursday.

Mike will have a fit when he reads this. But I say it all in good cheer. Besides, I needed short blogging material tonight. Have to do my back exercises, my back is burning to go along with burning eyes. Have to get some sleep because I am being taken to my birthday lunch by GAD tomorrow. This is the best I've ever stretched out my birthday, 48 days. I'm lovin' it! That means 48 blogs, give or take a little. ONLY 48 BLOGS! Wow, seems like if you added a zero that would be more like it.

Well, little dear Mikey, maybe I will you let post a blog about me sometime, so you can get even :--- Except I get to read it first. Besides, I make fun of myself on this blog all the time. Since he's married to me, all is fair, I get to snitch on him sometimes.

KEM . . . honestly.

P.S. Tonight I wrote a story and a first happened. I looked up a word in Webster, and then the next word I needed was on the same page. AND, hold your hat, the third word I wanted was ALSO ON THE SAME PAGE. Not even on the page across. ALL THREE WORDS WERE ON THE SAME EXACT PAGE. I cannot emphasize this enough as it is close to a miracle. Besides the letters X, Z, Q, Y and K, of all letters, KEM does not approve, J has the least pages in the dictionary. My words were J words. There are only 11 pages of J words. Isn't that interesting? X only has one page. Not even a full page. Pitiful.

Okay, gotta go, Mike put me on curfew, isn't he busy bossing me around? That's because I might not get a nap tomorrow afternoon after my birthday lunch. I might have to stay awake to hand the roofer his money to get started. Scary. I might have to do it because Mike is going out of town to visit his mother. I wonder if I paid DTD if she would come over and hand the check over? Just kidding.
