We Can't Be Everything To Everyone

I picked Sylvia up at the airport on Monday evening after her trip to Monterey. I don't remember exactly how it happened but while we were waiting for her bags to show up I did something which caused her to say,

"My book is a lot more romantic than you are."

I wanted to tell her,

"Yeah? Well the chicks in the movies I watch while you're gone do a lot of shit you won't do too but I don't hold it against you."

But I didn't say it because that would've been pretty rude. I have the tact to wait until I get home and can post it on the internet instead.

Pretty much every sentence my husband speaks ends with (...)this is not blog material.

I totally respect that. Not.

Just because Sylvia won't wear the Princess Leia hair-do is no reason to cut on her.

it's a good thing you didn't say that, else she would have brained you with her carry on bag.

now, when she comes home, make sure there are fresh flowers, a masseur, and a nice full hot bath with scads of bubbles.

dykewife said...

oh, for her...for her.

When her book is being more romantic than you, doesn't that give her a paper cut?!?$?

Tysgirl - pretty much everything I say finishes with the same statement or the variant "I better not see that on your blog"

Phollower - listen to Dykewife!

By generating that reply, it confirms her point about your lack of romanticism. But I'm just giving you a hard time because I'm female and admit that your reply was pretty funny.

And I thought The Police were one of your favorite bands. What gives?
Yes, this is someone's little sister who just learned of your blog from the friend formerly known as Jimpy.

tysgirl: I get the "This does NOT go on your blog!" from Sylvia a lot. It was really funny until she got her own blog.

limpy: I wouldn't have her do anything Star Wars related for fear she'd try the Jedi mind trick on me. "This is not the vagina you're looking for..."

dykewife: Crap, I went 0 for 3. I'll check with you earlier next time.

mrsoz: No, she uses the binding part. Much firmer.

sylvia: "This is not the romance you are looking for..."

anon: I do still love the Police but they've moved to the backburner a bit.

And who is this? C'mon, give me a hint. Jimpy doesn't have a little sister so it's not any of them. Throw me a bone here.

Speaking of "throw me a bone," that's MY kind of romance.

Hint's on Anonymous.

1. It's not Jimpy's (or Markegum's) little sister (obviously).

2. Think Homing Signal (Chirp, Chirp)

markegum: I was thinking in that direction already. If it's the person I'm thinking of she has a younger sister we called Emma. Am I right?

By the way, the Homing Signal link didn't go anywhere. Was it supposed to?

And I think of the *cheep cheep* every time too. Still cracks me up.

You're right that its not Emma, but what the hell is cheep cheep and how does it apply to me?
Nervous about that. I was so odd 20 years ago that it could be anything.
Ha~ Markegum left a comment. You're growns up and you're growns up. Hi Sleazen. I've missed you both.
