My telepathic abilities have been lacking since (and before) that wondrous day almost 20 years ago when I married, and yet my darling Bubba has again looked at me as if I didn't get the mind-meld message. Apparently he's made plans with a co-worker to go out tonight, I don't know if this is one of the laid-off co-workers or not but plans were made... unknown to me.
I was up early this morning, don't ask me why for some reason my baby blues popped open and in spite of my best efforts to have them close again they remained stubbornly open. As such I was up, went through the usual puppy morning routine, then stayed downstairs with the news and a book... it was really early. To prevent the usual morning shout of "have you showered yet" I indeed was showering, dressed and ready. It was a smooth morning... until.
Until --my darling husband looked at me and said - "I guess I should drive since I have plans with (person) tonight." I didn't catch a name because I didn't hear anything after I should drive...
Um - dear what plans?
Picture him with the dog with his head cocked and that didn't you get the mind-meld message? look on his face...
Oh yeah plans with (insert name here)-- well you could pick me up at the metro.... or should I drive... it would be easier if I drove... yeah I'll drive....
Now while Bubba was going through this internal/external debate I'm standing there thinking if I hit him with my frying pan how long would I be in jail? And would Mom take care of the dogs? Instead he grabs his keys and decides to drive his newly repaired car into work....
I just smiled, and mumbled if you would have said something last night I would have been gone 45 minutes ago... (and I quote) "Oh? I thought I told you - I know I did yeah I told you."
No dear you didn't tell me this (at least out loud---see previous comment on mind melding) and haven't I loving said over and over again (read nag until I can't stand it) to put this stuff on the calendar in the kitchen? That is why it's there... MY stuff is on there...
Oh and on a side note I should probably apologize to the man in the small blue car who found it necessary to pull around the bus and in front of me... it was a mood, and I'm sure your retinas will heal in a week or so. (I flashed my ultra powerful high beam head lights into his rear view mirror as I was seriously contemplating a bumper to bumper meeting...) And here's another thought, don't cut off an SUV when you drive one of those small-no-power-tree-hugging cars... Read up son, the laws of physics are universal and you're lucky I can stand up and apply that much pressure to my breaks.
Before anyone gets grumpy about the tree-hugger comment I am totally for hugging trees, if that's you're thing, it just those roller skates on wheels have NO power and when you preform a pull around and in front of someone you might want to have a little get up and go so you don't end up a grease stain on my new tires...
and on a lighter note - today I love my boss... he must have felt my unhappiness 3 doors down, when the customer asked for delivered software in two (count them two) days and the idiot developer (read Code Jockey) says sure! I wanted to crawl through the phone and commit random acts of murder on his person. But the boss man spoke up and said things must be done right... you'll get it Friday. Yeah. Thanks for the back up boss... now about my long term employment opportunities...
