Leisurely Saturday Leads To Series of Incidents

Saturday mornings are often lazy, relaxing times. Hubby and I enjoy fresh coffee. We take time to fix breakfast and leisurely enjoy each others company. However, this morning, we encountered a few hairy moments.

Hubby takes pride in maintaining his own hair, granted, it is very easy as long as he has his clippers. Number one on his beard and all over his head. Simple right? He then switches to a super close cut for his neck and removes the #1 clip.

Moments after the switch, he comes out of the bathroom holding his neck with his blood covered hand. Here's what transpired....

me: "What did you do?"

him: "I cut myself and I'm bleeding like a pig."

me: "Kinda looks like to me you tried to slit your neck!"

him: "Very funny...now help me!"

After administering first aid, Hubby decided to take his coffee outside to enjoy the weather but really, he makes his exit for an occasional smoke. Moments later, here what transpired!

him: "A )^%$# bee just stung me on my finger."

me: "What did you do to provoke him?"

him: "I just sat on top of him...he was in my chair."

me: "Let me see. Oh gosh, it is swelling."

him: "What do I take?"

me: "Let's try 2 Benedryl and an ice pack."

him: "It is swelling. Damn."

pause....

him: "Why couldn't the damn bee sting me somewhere else!"

After a good laugh, I got to wonder. Is this something only my husband would say or are all men thinking of only one thing?

No, he's not the only one! My 82-year-old father-in-law proceeded to tell me this... "I could only lift 10 lbs. after my eye surgery. I asked the nurse how I was going to pee if I could only lift 10 lbs." Gross! Eww! Yuck!

Yup, all men think alike. And the older they get the worse they become. (*sigh)

LOL!!! Somehow I could see this whole thing as a cartoon. Oh, goodness. I think hubby should have just stayed in bed today.

Gives new meaning to the term "bee stung". :-)

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei...

Christmas in July Give A Way

Image
What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would ...
