Abrupt awakening

The other night when I couldn’t fall asleep, I did what I used to do when I was a kid, and I put my head at the foot of the bed and my feet at the head of the bed.

I fell asleep immediately just as I always used to do, but apparently being married changes things. So whereas I  used to sleep soundly “upside” down all night, Mike inadvertently woke me up (and pissed me off) when he started searching blindly for more covers in the middle of the night, in the process ripping the pillow I’d comfortably been snoring on directly out from under my head, on accident sure, but nonetheless, it was certainly a jarring way to be roused.

I was also a bit offended by the similarity he apparently finds between my feet and my face.

Oh well. He put a ring on it, so now he’s stuck with me regardless.

Benefits of tool-lovers

Being married is great.

A good friend and newlywed was just telling me about how her new husband fixed the sink for her.

And, using a hammer and set of wrenches, my quasi-new husband just dislodged the food-processor part that I managed to get wedged into our garbage disposal.

It’s handy to have someone around who’s comfortable wielding tools.

Misunderstood

You know, I get a lot of flack for protagonizing Mike.

However, I personally think that most of the time he’s his own worst enemy.

I present Exhibit A … I mean, that’s a booby trap if ever saw one!

The audacity of the floss industry

Mike just found an old spool of dental floss in his car, leading it to resurface in our bathroom.

This isn’t just any dental floss however. According to the bold packaging label, this is “high tech” dental floss.

Does the audacity of this strike you?

I mean, we’re talking about a company that makes a glorified piece of string calling its product “high tech.”

Give me a break.

OK, so maaaaaybe this would qualify as "high tech" dental floss. Thanks to  jenny8lee on Flickr for the pic.

Differing opinions

I have two wonderful and close friends who have varying levels of faith in me.

Leah–professional farmer, certified food police, and out-of-this-world caterer–doesn’t trust me to bring anything but water, albeit fizzy water, when I come to her house for dinner.

Andrea on the other hand, trusts me to bake her a couple of wedding cakes.

Hmmm …

Believability poll

We have a pair of wonderful and very generous friends who’ve been letting us borrow their couch for the past nine months.

Unfortunately, over the course of those nine months, Mike and I have become rather attached to the comfortable, old thing.

What are the odds that Jessie and Jeff would believe that we’d accidentally misplaced the couch, and therefore wouldn’t be able to return it?
