J: You didn’t
write about me all week long. I thought you were going to write about me more
often.
Me: Um. NO.
You told me that I should write about you more often. I told you that you
should get your own blog.
J: I thought
I was taking on more tasks around the house to give you more time to write
about me.
Me: No, I am
spending some time writing short stories—something which I have not done for a
long, long time.
J: Am I in
the short stories, at the very least?
Me: One. I
killed you off, though.
J: You did
what?
Me: It was
after you did that thing last week—the one where I asked you to rub my aching
shoulders and you put your giant paws around my neck and pretended that you
were going to strangle me like a deranged madman. And then laughed about it all
night like a deranged madman.
J: Well, I
thought that it would convince you not to ask me for shoulder rubs anymore. Like
when I filled the dishwasher with Dawn.
Me: And I
thought it would convince you not to pretend to kill me anymore. Or I will
pretend to kill you in my stories. We each have our ways, honey. By the way—did
the Dawn incident stop you from loading the dishwasher?
J: No.
Me: Then
this isn’t going to stop me from asking for shoulder rubs either…
And this is
how you know you are in a blissful marriage—you can joke about killing one another
and not really mean it, all the time.

It weekend
wrap-up time! Let’s start with what I was writing when I wasn’t here:
I told you
about my hero
of the month, Damon, who is a fast-acting teen (I bet it’s because he’s
avoiding the Purell cocktails).
I also
wondered aloud why this guy is building Titanic: The Remix, and
then sailing it along the exact same path (which, if you’ll remember, ended at
the bottom of the icy Atlantic) as the original.
What did I
find elsewhere?
Jesse (who you
can read both on her blog and
Sprocket Ink) wrote a post about meeting
The Bloggess, and guess who was the first person to comment on her post? (Hint:
it wasn’t me.)
I also
suggest that you read her post from this week called: It
Looks Like a Stripper Threw Up in Here.
Angela of
the Cheesy Bloggers talked of her 1990s
fashion faux pas, and oh…. Yes. I did a lot of these, including the
tapestry vest.
And what was
on my mind last year?
J and I were
forcing the children to learn an
important life lesson: that we are not short order cooks.

My wife would prefer that My Blog Can Beat Up Your Blog was all about her every day. I learned a vaulable lesson when writing my Nanowrimo story - on my blog currently as Crazy Robot Stories- because I had my main character borderline cheat on her with the main villain. Yeah, that was an awesome weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour guys conversation sounds just like our house. I laughed hard.
Oh, no. I am not THAT brave! I bet that was a fantastic weekend... I don't think I could even write about old boyfriends (or a composite thereof) without hearing about it for a long, long time.
DeleteOh good god that desert is remarkable.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the reasons I married him in the first place!
