Him:    Nicole! Nicole!

Me:  WHAT?….

Him:    I’m cleaning out all the drawers in our bedroom and they all have finger nail clippings in them.

A LOT.

Like someone decided that they were going to clip their nails inside each and every drawer in our room

Me:    oh.

Him:    Do you know who could have done this?

Me:    no.

Him:    You didn’t do it?

Me:    no.

Him:    Are you sure?

Me:    Yes.

Him:    Yes, you did it? Or yes you’re sure you didn’t do it?

Me:    I want to tell you something…..and hopefully I’ll never have to tell you again.

Him:    I hope you have to tell me again and again. . .* smiles crookedly*

Me:  Look, EVEN if I did decide to cut my nails and leave the clippings in every drawer for the rest of my life. . . .

Him:    In. Every. Single. Drawer?…..

Me:    Yes. Every one. Even if I did this atrocity…..no body should ever even mention it to me….ever…..I have carte Blanche….

For the record, he still thinks I clip my fingernails and hide the clippings in our dresser drawers and on his side of the bed.

I don’t. Promise.

But maybe if I just allow him to think this. . .and it results in him thinking I’m just a little bit unstable, it give our marriage the even wanten air of intrigue.

Also on my mind. . . . .

I forgot I had a vegetable garden. Look what I found today. In knee high weeds that I forgot to pull.  My poor feeble brain.

Also…..my buddy Jenny gave me 3 huge foxtail ferns…..I was so excited, that in my elation I forgot to water them……

And also….two of my darling daughters are Softball Allstars for our beloved city…..and my brain hurts so bad because I worry for them . . . .

One child because she is so hard on herself….thinking she must be perfect at all things……never allowing herself the freedom to make mistakes. . . .

The other because she is perfectly content both her mediocrity as well as her awesomeness….which changes like the tides.

What’s on your mind today?
