Happy Valentine’s Day y’all! Sorry for my disappearance as of late. I’ve been working long days and just discovered Monk and Desperate Housewives (don’t judge) on Netflix. After an 11 hour day in heels, sometimes collapsing with a hot cup of tea is the only thing I can do. I’ll try to be a better blogger, promise.
Since love is in the air today, I thought I’d treat y’all to a few things my husband has been saying lately. Enjoy.
—
Pregnant friend: My stomach is so itchy! I need to use my tummy butter.
Michael: Is that like real butter?
—
Michael: You’re like the sheep!
Me: What?
Michael: You know, the boy with the sheep!
Me: You mean “the boy who cried wolf”?
Michael: Yes. That.
—
Michael: That person scrowled at me.
Me: What the heck is “scrowl”?
Michael: You know. Like a scowl. And a growl.
Me: That’s not a real word.
Michael: Okay, Miss English Major. Other people don’t know that.
Michael’s brother: Pretty sure I’m not an English major and I know that SCROWL isn’t a word.
—
Me: (surveying cereal cabinet) We have too much cereal. But I don’t like Life. It gets soggy.
Michael: I told you, Life sucks.
—
Me: I’m going to a new doctor tomorrow.
Michael: Who?
Me: Dr. [name].
Michael: I think he’s in my bike club. Ask him if he rides bikes.
Me: Okay.
Michael: Tell him you know me.
Me: I KNOW you? Or I’m MARRIED to you?
Michael: Yeah, whichever.

Michael made me the most wonderful chocolate mousse on Friday night as part of my Valentine’s Day gift. Throughout the day, I got several texts, which included:
“WHAT is a double boiler?”
“What does it mean, ‘beat until soft peaks form’?!”
“Wow. I had no idea that heavy cream turns to whipped cream.”

The Doctor and the Scrowl ones made me pee my pants. I love you guys. Isn’t it awesome having such entertaining men in our lives? :)
From Suburban Sweetheart:
Oh, he sounds like fun. I want to start using “scrowl.”

I literally laughed out load at my desk while reading these. People in my office probably think I’m really weird now. :)

These are such funny, cute conversations! Boys do make the funniest of comments, don’t they?

I love your husband. I’m pretty sure he comes by a lot of his words naturally. Have we talked about this before? I’m impressed he attempted the mousse!

Desperate Housewives is awesome!
From mintyfresch:
I loved the doctor conversation and the chocolate texts!
My Friday cryptic text was: “Strange request: can you get plant food at Randalls? Don’t ask” And then I came home to flowers. :)
From Molly:
If he wasn’t making you a dessert, we would have had a serious issue to address.
From Nora:
A husband who makes chocolate mousse? That rocks.
Also, I think we need to make scrowl a word as I rather like it :)
From stefanie:
Life does get soggy! He’s my hero! :)
From Miyan:

From MamaStotch:
Laughed my way through this entire post – brilliant! I’m going to find a way to use “scrowl” in at least 3 conversations today.
From jimaiemarie:
hahah, i love this, i seriously giggled the whole time while reading them. Hilarious!
Wanna know something weird? I like Life cereal BETTER when it’s soggy. Cinnamon Life is one of my faves. But ONLY soggy. B/c I’m gross like that ;D
I also seriously love that he told you to tell the doctor that you “know” him, hahaha!!
From Jenn:
This cracks me up!
