Pudding Pioneers
It rained for ten minutes in our little town last night. So, of course, there was a city-wide power outage.
But Husband and I were well-prepared. I, with my vast array of scented candles. And he, with his uncanny ability to avoid closing anything, ever, thereby letting all the cool air stampede out of the house before I noticed that the garage door was open and shredded his torso with my cutlass.
The tiny candle flames flickered warmly. We could see the stars through our kitchen skylight. Crickets chirped outside. We were naked and sweating.
I said, "I feel like the pioneers!"
"You're eating fat-free pudding-in-a-cup, and I'm reading the IKEA catalogue with a flashlight."
"What? You mean this isn't how the West was settled?"

that's funny, I live in your city and we had power and air conditioning the whole night long.
the brother and I just sat in different rooms, watching different television shows on our separate tivos and argued over who got to use the microwave for popcorn first. he won, because, well, he's bigger.
pioneers, schmioneers - I'd be cranky as hell without my tivo.

Cutlass... so you drove your car through him then?

I just love hearing about your marriage. It sounds so....real. Especially the part about the shredding with the Cutlass.

Funny as hell. Hope those "Cutlass" comments above are jokes. Tell me people are not that clueless...
