friday funny

Can I just share with you a cute story regarding Alex.

As we speak he is off skiing Steamboat.  Yup, he’s off in Colorado living it up with his buddies on the annual all-boy trip.  I don’t mind at all.  In fact, I actually encourage it.  I love spending time with my girlfriends and we chat, go deeper, talk about life, etc.  Guys on the other hand, it’s more shoulder to shoulder.  So if I can encourage my husband to go off somewhere where maybe the conversation in the hot tub might get past the latest sports phenomenon and youTube video, then I’m all for it.

Also, I should probably mention that I am also a wife that doesn’t mind not hearing from her husband while he is away.  I love him more than ever, but I don’t fret if we don’t chat every day or multiple times a day.  The second year we were married I realized just what that was like when I headed to Duluth with another one of the wives.  Her husband texted her multiple times a day, in fact I learned more about the trip through her than through Alex.  But that’s ok.  I figure if I don’t hear from him, he’s having fun.  Even if he gets hurt.  Yup, that was a different year.  I found out he injured his heels quite badly and had to be pushed through the airport in a wheelchair when I picked him up at the airport and he mentioned…”we may have to head to the ER right now.”  Yum, yeah.

So you might wonder where the story is.  Well this morning I received a text:.

.”Did you pack my ski pants?”

Yes, that’s right I pack his bag.  Again, I’d rather ensure he have everything than forget something.  I had to laugh because I had mentioned multiple times before he left that his pants were in with his skis.

I texted back “they’re in your ski bag.”

No response.  So I called.  He picked up before the first ring.

"Were they in your ski bag?”

“No, are you sure you packed them?”

“Yes, I put them in with your skis.”

“Oh, there they are.  I thought you were talking about my boot bag.”

Yum, yeah.  Seriously.  Hilarious to me the wife, maybe not to you.  So there you go, a cute, quirky, kinda funny moment straight from our house.

So, signing off for the day.

I’m off to live up my “singleness” :)
