Before I move on to today's post, I'd like to thank you all for all of your comments yesterday about your friends! I felt like we all got to know each other a little better. And I'm sure all of your friends love you all as much as I love my friends too! :-)
**** AND the GIVEAWAY for the "Purse Sueded Hand Bag"...
...is on right now!!! See the details
HERE! ****
I spent the day yesterday trying to keep myself busy, in between waiting for a return email about my items being put in a non-manned store (I mentioned it in
this post), waiting for the mailman to bring my new yarn for the 2nd round of the custom ordered scarf I'll be working on, a scare from my brother-in-law about my father-in-law passing out in a store (he appears to be fine, but refuses to go to the hospital....UGH!), and my husband's cooking "experiment"...
Seriously, he needs a cooking school or something, to go with this strong desire he has to "experiment" in the kitchen!! I'll tell you what happened in a minute, but first let me show you the one other thing I've been working on....A New Scarf!
If you follow this blog you'll probably recognize the multicolor row of yarn that's sitting next to this brown. It's the "Clover Colors" yarn from
this post. I started this scarf just so I could have something in my hands to occupy my mind. I was going to pair it with some blue, yellow, red, etc...but they just didn't look right to me. They all seemed too "LOUD"! So I decided to try a more muted, Fall, warm-look scarf. What do you think?!
Oh Yeah, I also put a couple of my poems in some frames.
I'm trying to get some of my poetry ready for the un-manned store too. They would certainly be too large to ship from my
Etsy shop anyway!
Okay, back to my husband's "experiment". I decided to lay down for a while. You know how I love a nap! :-) I had my C-Pap machine on and was resting in sweet slumber, and then...*sniff! sniff!*....What was this terrible smell that was in my dreams?! Was I at a landfill or something?!....I tried to ignore it. Then.....*sniff! sniff!*...I started to get nauseous!! It completely woke me up! I yelled "Bae!!!!! What's that smell?!!!"
He came in carrying the fork that he had just turned this 'Road-Kill' smelling food over with, and proceeded to tell me how he was cooking steaks and pork chops. "Really?!....Why do they smell like that?" He looked surprised and said: "What?" I knew I was going to have to be delicate with my next words......NO! NO! There was no time for delicacy!! My stomach was really churning and I was getting that beads of sweat, watery mouthed, feeling! I said: "Dear, I know you are REALLY trying with these things you're cooking for me, but IT SMELLS LIKE SOMETHING DIED IN HERE!!!" He smiled! That was not the reaction I was expecting!!
He told me that he put different seasonings on the pork chops and the steak and put them in the oven together. I said: "But still! Why do they smell like that?! Did you put onions in there, oil, something?!!" He said: "Oh, No! I'll go and do that now!" He didn't seem the least bit put-off that I was insinuating that his food that he was slaving over smelled like road kill!!! I could almost see cartoon birds following him and hear a Disney theme song as he left the room!!! LOL
Then he turned around, with the most serious and puzzled look on his face, and said: "You smelled that through your C-Pap machine?! I thought those things were suppose to filter out smell!" I couldn't help myself. I said: "THAT OUGHT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING!!!" He just laughed! .... If I didn't know better, I'd think he was trying to drive me insane...or stink me to death!!!! LOL
(Maybe I'd better take my own advice that I wrote about in today's poem! ^_^)
Formula For Happy Marriage
If there's hair left on the sink,
Ignore it, Ignore it!
The garbage piling high-and stinks?
Ignore it, Ignore it?
If he forgot to bring home bread;
'So what' if it was Three times said.
Don't silently start seeing red!
Ignore it, Ignore it!
If she says everything's your fault,
Ignore it, Ignore it!
Take it with a grain of salt.
Ignore it?-Ignore it!
If she just seems to talk too much;
Its 'This and That', and 'Such and Such'.
"Who cares if its a purse or clutch?!"
Ignore it. Ignore it!!
If he cleans behind himself,
Praise it. Praise it!
And puts the book back on the shelf,
Praise it. Praise it!
If he remembered you today,
and likes your hair fixed just that way,
and hears everything you say,
Praise it. Praise it!
If she lets you watch the game,
Praise it. Praise it!
If dinner's late and she takes the blame,
Praise it. Praise it!
If happy marriage is for you,
just do what I just told you to,
(Plus, each day, have Jehovah's view)
And you'll be of the happy few-
Who get it.-Please get it!!
