Life or Death

August 21, 2010

Actual conversation:

Me: Thanks for always taking care of me.

Him: Uh huh

Me: I feel kind of special knowing you do this for me and you didn’t do it in other relationships.

Him: It’s 40% necessity.

Me: What do you mean?

Him:  I don’t want to you to die.


Deja Vu, You Too?

August 7, 2010

Actual conversation at breakfast:

Him:  I was watching this porno where this couple was doing it doggie-style but the woman was doing all the work.

Me:  I think we saw that together.  It sounds familiar.

Him: Yeah, it does sound familiar.

Me: (laughing) How can it not sound familiar to you? You just said it.

Him:  Did I just say that?


The Way We Were

January 11, 2010

Actual conversation while on a double date with a friend who was keenly into her date for the night:

Me:  Sometimes I miss the way we were in that phase.

Him:  What way?

Me:  We could barely keep our hands off each other.

Him:  We were never that way.

Me:  (in disbelief) What?

Him: (being ornery):  It never happened.  You couldn’t name one time we were like that…

Me: (unblinking)  I went down on you in a theater.

Him: (laughing) Oh yeah!  I lost my belt that night…


Cause and Effect

October 13, 2009

Actual conversation on the phone after a really bad day:

Him: I’m sorry you are having a bad day.

Me: I just keep asking who I pissed off today that I deserve this bad day.

Him: Well, if you look at it objectively, everything that happened today was a direct result of your own actions.

(total quiet)

Me:  Yeah, like me picking up this phone and calling you right now?

(laughter on the other end)


Taste the Rainbow

September 28, 2009

Actual conversation:

Me: Baby, do you think I’m fun?

Him: Absolutely.

Me: Would I be more fun if I came in different flavors?

Him: (pause) What?

Me: Like Starburst – there are different flavors of Starburst and that’s fun.

Him: I don’t like Starburst.

Me: Okay, well then like potato chips – there are different flavors of potato chips… you like potato chips!

Him: You are more fun than Starburst or potato chips… funner, even..


Telling It Like It Is

September 13, 2009

Actual conversation:

Me: Would you say I was controlling, blaming, self-absorbed, or intolerant of others’ views?

Him: Maybe a little self-absorbed…

Me: (gasp) You’re a little self-absorbed!

Him: Your always telling everyone how pretty you are…

Me: That is NOT self-absorption…

Him: No?

Me: No. It’s sexy confidence in my absolute cuteness…


Today’s Quote, #2

September 12, 2009

“Five. Yup, definitely five people to make an orgy.”


While I Was Sleeping

August 29, 2009

Actual conversation at 1am on the way home from a bar:

Me:  (searching through my purse drunkenly) Where’s the camera?

Him(soberly driving) I put it in your purse.

Me:  (as I dump the entire contents of my purse on the floor) No, you didn’t.  I just looked.

Slight pause.

Me:  We left it at the bar – great.  I will call them.

I pick up my iPhone and punch in Goog-411

Goog411:  This call is recorded.  Google!  Say the business and the city and state.

Me: (slurring and yelling into my iPhone) Frontier Club, Aurora Colorado

Goog411: (a search noise and then) Top Listing, Front Loading, Aurora Colorado. Number one…

Me: (frantic) No! Ah!

I hang up angrily and redial Goog411

Goog411:  This call is recorded.  Google!  Say the business and the city and state.

Me: (trying to go slow and speak clearly while obviously drunk) Au-ro-ra Club, Fron-tier Co-lo-ra-do… ah FUCK.

I hang up angrily again and once again redial Goog411.

Goog411:  This call is recorded.  Google!  Say the business and the city and state.

Me:  (slowly and more loudly) Frontier Club, Aurora Colorado.

Goog411:  Frontier Club, Aurora Colorado… top listing, number one, Frontier Club on Colfax Avenue…

Me: (into the iPhone) Number one.

I glance  at him and notice he is laughing his ass off at me.  I’m slightly embarrassed.

Me: (starting to giggle too) What?

Him:  That took you 10 minutes!

Me:  Stupid Google… (into the phone) Hi. We were just there and I think we left our camera at the bar.  No? Okay well let us know if you find it.  (to him) It must be in C’s back seat.

I dial our friend, C, who we were visiting with at her neighborhood bar.

Me (to C):  Hey, did we leave our camera in your backseat?  No?  Curses, it isn’t at the bar either.

Him: I may have put it in the back seat.

Me: (looking at him, incredulous) WHAT? (I glance in the back seat, then say into the phone while glaring at him) It’s in the backseat.

Me: (as I hang up) It was in the back seat the whole time!

Him:  (laughing)  Now you can go to sleep like you always do on the way home…

And here’s what happens with the camera when I finally go to sleep:

Baked, Part II*

August 5, 2009

Actual conversation while baking cinnamon streusel muffins:

Him: Is that streusel stuff supposed to go on top of the muffins?

Me: (busily adding the streusel on top of the muffins while they are baking) Yes.

Him: While they are baking in the oven?

Me: (sighing) No. I forgot to add it to the top before I baked them.

Him: So it was supposed to go on before you put them in the oven?

Me: Yes. And I can’t reach three of the muffins now so they will be streusel-less.

Him: (looking into the oven) Is something burning?

Me: No.

Him: What’s that black burnt spot on the bottom of the oven?

Me: Not sure.

Him: Should you be baking at all?

Me: Probably not.
