Salad

Eric has been trying to eat healthier lately, so he had a salad with his lunch. These were the ingredients:
-Baby carrots
-Lettuce
-Tomatoes
-Bacon Bits
-Mozzarella cheese
-Caesar dressing
-SWEDISH FISH.

Yes, he actually tossed a handful of Swedish Fish on his salad.

Chips

You know when a bag of chips is almost gone and all you have are the crumbs left at the bottom of the bag? I usually either pour the crumbs directly into my mouth from the bag or just throw it away.

Not Eric. He pours the crumbs on a plate and proceeds to eat them with a spoon.

Outfit of the Day

Some highlights of this outfit:
-Black calf socks, pushed down around the ankles, like a Hooters waitress or any female in 1989.
-The red in the shoes really highlights the orange stripe in the shorts.
-Yes, those are bleach stains on his shirts.
-So in one outfit, we have black, brown (shirt collar/sleeves), navy blue, yellow, red, silver (stripe on shorts), tan, orange, and I guess white from the bleach stains.

Oh and see that thing behind him? That is his "John Deere Pod". He covered our ottoman with his John Deere blanket. You can only sit on it if you like John Deere. Yes, I have gotten kicked off of it because I do not own a John Deere tractor.

Dancing

My husband gets bored when I make him watch America's Next Top Model. So tonight he decided to "hip-hop hula" dance with the girls on the show. It was highly entertaining.

The Toe Incident

A few months ago, we were in a hotel somewhere. I woke up one morning to what looked like a massacre in my bed. There was blood on the comforter, blood on the sheets, a bloody pillow on the floor. There's also a blood trail to the bathroom along with a bloody towels in the bathroom. I couldn't even begin to try and figure out what happened.

I finally figured out later what happened. Eric had apparently gotten up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and busted his toe open on a suitcase on the floor. He didn't yell, didn't bother to turn on the bathroom light and look at it. He just peed, and went back to bed. So his toe was pretty busted and bled all over the place.

I have no clue how he didn't yell or anything. It was really bad looking. Oh and then he decided to just put a pair of socks on the next morning with out cleaning it or bandaging it. So a few hours later, I was picking sock fuzz out of his open wound with tweezers. He was not happy. He definitely yelled then.

And I wish I had a picture of him wearing red Crocs on his busted foot and Doc Martens on his other foot for the rest of the day.

Dinner

My husband decided to make dinner for himself tonight. On the menu?

Bacon and Bagel Bites.

Clothes

My husband hang dries ALL of his clothes. I mean all of them, with the exception of underwear and socks. He'd probably hang those too if he didn't wait a month in between laundry. He likes to do laundry, so he always does his own. Plus, if I do his laundry, I sneak his t-shirts into the dryer. Then he gets mad.

He used to just hang all of his clothes in various places around the house. Usually on every door frame in the apartment. I got frustrated not being able to walk into any room without knocking wet clothes onto the floor, so I told him to find a new solution.

His first solution was to hang them across the entire garage. This caused me to not be able to park in the garage for several days at a time. I vetoed that idea as well.

Finally, he rigged up a pipe of some sort across the patio outside. I'm pretty sure this is against the rules of our Homeowner's association. He said he would only leave them up for one day then he'd put them away. They've already been hanging out there for 3 days.

90210

My husband is almost 29 years old and is completely obsessed with the new 90210. He actually called KTLA when they interrupted an episode last season for a Presidential speech to complain. He was really upset because they weren't going to rerun the episode and he missed some chunks of it.

He also likes to comment about the plot lines of the older characters from the old show. He swears his sister made him watch it.

Bed

Last week, we visited Eric's sister. I asked him to help make up the bed. This is what resulted. He was really proud of himself too.

Desk

Apparently, a normal computer screen is not good enough for my husband. He decided that he needed to hook up his computer to the 40" HDTV in the living room. So of course, that means that he had to attach a desk to the front of the living room entertainment center. He brought out his computer chair, and viola! A desk in possibly the most inconvenient space in the house.

Zebra

My husband decided that he wanted a pet name for me. One day, out of the blue, he called me "Zebra". After I finished laughing at him, (he was so serious) I asked him why "zebra"? He said he likes zebras. And that he thought that I might get mad if he called me "Elephant".

Bacon

For the past 3 days, my husband has had random cravings for bacon. Just bacon, by itself.

Apparently, I have been eating too much of his bacon the last few nights, so I was allotted only 2 pieces. And he separated them on personalized paper plates, so I couldn't eat his.

Laptop

My husband is buying a new laptop, because the other one has not been found since he left it on the top of a vehicle and drove away. He has been researching for over a month. He does this with every new electronic he buys.

The one he picked out comes in different colors. He picked brown. Before we got married, his entire room was tan. He had tan walls, tan carpet, tan bath towels, tan sheets, tan pillows, tan shelves. It was like being in the desert. Who actually LIKES the color tan or brown?

He originally wanted pink. He has this theory that pink things don't get stolen. His basis for this theory is that his black camera got stolen, but his pink one hasn't. So it must be because of the color.

The Garage

My husband likes to do "man projects". I noticed that he's been spending a lot of time in the garage recently. I mentioned it, and he said he was building shelves. I'm thinking like a bookcase or something. I finally walked out there and saw this:










I would like to add that we rent this condo. I'm sure the owners are going to LOVE that he bolted and screwed and nailed about 100 lbs of lumber to their garage walls and ceiling. He thought if he painted it white, they might not notice.

Currently, the contents of our garage (minus my car), are sitting in the laundry room. Hence, my husband is now wearing the same thing to work that he sleeps in the night before.
