Well Portland Oregon and sloe gin fizz, if that ain’t love then tell me what is

sniff. big sigh. Thanks, CK.

KBBAW: When Hubby shaved his furry face clean (except for the remaining mustache) when we first started dating, I didn’t know who he was for a moment.

He finally gave up the mustache a few months after we married. Now he’s a clean-shaven, adorably handsome, intelligent, and funny man.

Yipes, it sounds like I married Tom Hanks.

No problem, Sus, honey. It sounds like you need it more than I do.

Is Jon shedding his winter coat for spring?

CK, I’m OK, just chocolate-less and car-less for a little while this afternoon.

I think you should copy the second part of your comment 292 and paste it in an email to your honey. You could get seriously rewarded for that. (If ya know’m sayin’)

Coming out of working/lurking to say that for a fundraiser I ordered homemade peanut butter eggs and a (white chocolate) bunny and they were just delivered to my office. Susie, one of the eggs has your name on – here you go!

So if I make him shave he will become more adorable and intelligent!?! Cool!

perhaps an odd observation, but jon’s fingernails are so CLEAN! my husband is a service manager for fedex ground and perhaps you could not believe all the dirt and filth he brings home with him. his fingernails are perpetually dirty, and his hands have a fine layer of brown to them – no amount of lava soap makes a difference.

it’s disturbing.

and on the subject of chocolate, i just ate a chocolate-caramel POP TART. i took one bite, made googly eyes at its creamy filling, and said “hey there, pop tart. where have YOU been all my life?” then i just smeared the rest of that creamy filling on my hips (since they’ll end up there any way).

They make chocolate-caramel pop tarts?! Thank you, amberlyn – you just improved my life ten-fold.

I had never seen my husband without at least a moustache on his face, and usually a full beard.
Well, he decided to shave it all off one morning when we’d been married a year or two, and he had the nerve to do it without consulting me first.
He walked into the bedroom, and I was just waking up, and didn’t have my glasses on (the Four-Eyes thing is no joke), and as I opened my bleary eyes, I was positive Jim’s brother was coming into the bedroom in his underwear while I was in there naked.
I must’ve jumped a mile off the bed, ’cause Jim couldn’t stop laughing for like five minutes. Dude, I’d never seen his naked face! Freaked me right the fuck out!

Once I got used to it, though, I have to admit that it takes about 10 years off his appearance.

if i had some chocolate i know this last hour would go by MUCH faster.

or if my job required any sort of brain power. yep. NOTHING. give me chocolate.

Random Question: Hey you guys, if I opened a liberal/organic cool anti-Victorian B&B in Kansas City do you think that would be marketable?

B4E: LMAO!!! I almost choked on my tater tot. OMG!!! my eyes are watering.

what do you mean by anti-victorian?

also, organic would be marketable, to those who could afford it. but it personally is not appealing to me. i find the whole organic thing nice for those of us who can afford it. but, other than that pfffft. poop is organic.

Saralynnmo:
That kinda thing would totally fly out west here. We love Cotemporary hip and organic here.

OK, by anti-Victorian, I just mean that the design and visual appeal would be different from most B&B’s you see in the midwest. I prefer something more modern or eclectic to appeal to a younger crowd.
A friend suggested I should have a veggie garden out back where guests could pick their own breakfast/dinner ingredients.

BFE
you are a delight.

My dad had a full beard until I was like 15. He never shaved it. He just got the usual trim. So when he shaved it off it was a shock. It was like suddenly this man in my house was not my father. I couldn’t look at him for days without going into shock all over again.

Now I can barely imagine him with the beard.

Greenthumb I just added your blog to my bookmarks. It looks like an interesting read, and maybe I’ll pick up some gardening tips!

Thanks saralynnmo, you may learn some bad habits too.

Burdanilex: my dad did the same thing to me, only I saw him thru the window on the floor watching tv in his underwear. I came home from school and it scared me so bad that I wouldn’t go in the house. It was only him and me at the time, and he had parked his truck out back. He wasn’t suppose to be home. He laughed all night about that one.

saralynnmo – i live in the midwest too, (MO, actually) but the contemporary stuff isn’t that appealing to me. Would you be marketing towards people already in the midwest or for those visiting from elsewhere?

like i said

POOP IS ORGANIC!

You said POOP. I say FART.

greenthumb ~ I am so glad my Dad talked shaving his beard for days before he actually did it. I probably would have thought he was an intruder otherwise. Although he did laugh for a couple days over the look on my face when I saw him.
