To fan the smoldering embers of our relationship, my husband and I like to pretend we're going to the movies. Of course we don't really go, because that would mean hiring a babysitter, but every Saturday night we stretch out on the couch armed with big bags of chips. Watching Paranormal Activity with my husband...
I love getting presents. But only presents that don't require any action on my part, otherwise they're just work in disguise. So when hubby comes home, brandishing a big bouquet of flowers, I tell him with appropriate gratitude: 'Thank you honey. Now put them in a vase please.' Then hubby throws them into the sink...
As a mom I do a lot of wringing of the hands. Usually with a wet rag in between. And my poor, delicate hands pay the price, so last week I liberally applied Gehwol, a cream for dry feet. I figured: If it works for feet, it will also work on hands! Afterwards I left...
Today my husband came home, and whispered in the tones of a dying man: 'I don't feel so well… I may have caught the flu.' My first thought was: 'Tough! You'll just have to keep going, just like I do!' But then it hit me: if hubby was home, then I could make a break...
Whenever I want to have a heart to heart with my husband, he gets this shifty look in his eyes, and needs to go to the bathroom. Or he gets sidetracked wondering how a word is spelled, because he's a bit of a language freak. He reads dictionaries for pleasure, need I say more? How...
When we were preparing our move to the country, every Saturday we would visit the building site that was going to be our future home. We admired the holes in the walls, the electric wires hanging loose, and the overall mess. It was obviously a work in progress, even we could see that! Because personally,...
I'm very low maintenance, you know!' I like to tell my husband. 'I don't desire expensive holidays or expensive clothes. Just give me a Big Mac or two, or three, or maybe four, and I'm a happy woman.' You're very lucky with me as your wife And to make sure he gets my drift, I...
'If you participated in Style by Jury*, they would change a lot about you,' my husband suddenly declared, while spreading his sandwich with a thick layer of peanut butter. 'How's that?' 'Well, look at yourself!' Style by husband 'Perhaps my hair,' I agreed. He nodded enthusiastically. 'And different clothes!' But now his sudden interest in...
My husband loves word jokes, and even after fifteen years of marriage, they still catch me by unpleasant surprise. Word jokes So when he told me in a sad voice: 'Your Google earnings today are nothing to write home about,' I was worried. 'Are they very bad?' I asked, because the last time he spoke...
Last night I had a terrible nightmare, about the end of the world. This big tsunami swept over our house and took everything with it. And I remember being angry with God because obviously, he hadn't kept up his end of his bargain with Noah. Nightmare As if that wasn't bad enough, I then dreamt...
