Me C'mon. Your laptop is sitting right there. You aren't even using it! It's not even ON! Let me use it for 15 minutes to type my blog. I already know exactly what I'm writing, I just need to type it up quickly.
Him No. I'm working on transferring your data from your old laptop, now.
Me This will not get me a laptop tonight. Stop being selfish and hand it over.
Him Why don't you write it down on a piece of paper?
Me WTF?! Do you even KNOW what a blog IS?
Him Well, isn't this the whole premise of your "I should write this down" motto for your blog?
Me Oh, don't worry.. I'll be writing this down! Now, give me that laptop PLEASE.
Him I cannot. That is my corporate laptop!!
Me What?! No it is not! That one over there is, but THIS one you bought from Sears. With a freaking coupon!
Him Well, it sounds ridiculous when you say it.
Me I'm totes buying that mac-top. *see conversations at the end of the blog
So, now you see what I'm dealing with. Haha Well, since Mr. Corporate has a severe case of mine-itis, let's just hammer this thing out on the iPhone...
This week I started a liquid fast, for several boring reasons. I'll spare you the list. Anyway, today is only day two, and already I've lost my brain to mouth & brain to finger filters. (Which, one would think, should have made the above confrontation never even happen, because my husband is aware that my filter is missing, yet he is a risk taker...) At least I warned my friends, and asked them (if they see me out on the road) to think of my hand signal to other drivers as just a wave of happy joy. Also, that isn't really a shiv I'm carrying with me, it's a "modified custom toothbrush". Just look away.
Anyway, it's not so hard to do the liquid fast. During meals is rough, but once mealtime passes I'm fine, just extra "opinionated". I'm a bit tired, but I'm still doing my workout while the baby naps, so it's all good. I even stared down some bacon today. Yeah, I had to ask my husband to cook it up for the kiddos to have for their breakfast, so I didn't have to stand over it too long, but it sat there... mocking me with it's smelly temptations.... but I managed to give it the cold shoulder. If you can stare bacon in the face & not eat it, you are probably a superhero. So, I think I'm probably going to kick this fast's butt.
I also had nightmares last night that I started to eat a piece of cucumber as I was chopping it up for my kid's lunch, and then couldn't stop myself. Yeah, it was super intense as far as nightmares go.
As a mostly un-related little blog treat, I'll throw in some small conversations between my husband and I today, some of which are computer related, others that are just... well us...
On Fashion
Him Since when did you have a Michael Kors purse?
Me Since when did you know about Michael Kors? *conversation over, I win!*
On Pop Culture
* quick background: I have been using the word "totes", much to my husband's dismay, when I'm explaining something or someone ridiculous... or how I'm about to mock something or someone ridiculous... out of love, of course. This drives my husband nuts, and he usually yells at me to finish my words.*
Me I'm TOTES gonna do it!
Him Stop saying "totes", or I'm totes gonna murd you.
And, coming full circle, back to Laptop-Gate
Me Hey, was there a new laptop in one of those boxes?
Him No. I ordered you a new hard drive. I dunno when it will be here.
Me Can't I just get a new Mac-top?
Him Mac-top?!
Me Yeah, that's a thing... right?
Him *walks away, either in disgust or disbelief in my total awesomeness. I'm not sure cause his face is usually the same for both.*
** He also said, several minutes later, no more liquid fasts... for some reason.
