I had this fabulous blog post all ready to go, really, I did. All about how M and I are starting traditions anew and building our new Christmas decorations from scratch. But then, upon excitedly opening the box of the new 7 ft. tree we got this weekend, I realized it was in fact, the wrong tree. It was instead, two smaller, 3 ft. trees with lame fake holly and pine cones on them.
Ummm, no.
So after I had my ‘princess’ whiny moment, things turned a little hysterical. And ya know, it may have just been funny to us, but I figured I would share, in case anyone has silly senses of humor like we do (akin to ‘conversations with M‘)
~~
One of my cats was sprawled in front of the fireplace. M decides to crawl down next to her, on hands and knees, sort of like a cat (if that makes sense).
She gets startled, looks at him, and gets up.
Me: I think they get weirded out when we ‘walk like a cat’ at their level next to them, for some reason.
(pause)
M: Well, I’d get weirded out too, if all of a sudden, they started walking upright on two feet!
Me: bwahhahahahha.
**I really hope someone finds these funny, or I am literally just writing this for my own amusement. Call it slaphappy Tuesday?! **
~~
My favorite commercial comes on TV. The one with Danny DeVito (I can’t even remember what the commercial is for!). He says “You’re supermodels?! What do you model?! HANDS?”
Me: bwahahahahaha.
(cracks me up. every single time.)
~~
Later that night, readying for bed.
M: what time do you want to get up tomorrow?
Me: I dunno. 6:30? (note: this is the only morning we can ‘sleep in’ during the week, so 6:30 feels utterly glorious!)
M: Snickers. Because we’re 75 and need 10 hours of sleep.
Me: bwahahahaha. (yes, we did go to bed at 9:30 last night!)
M: You’ve ruined me, ya know. I used to be able to go to bed at like, 5 am and get up at 6 am and work a full day, absolutely fine. Now, I can barely tear myself out of bed after 8 hours!
(I don’t know why, but I am proud of that LOL)
~~
So, there you have it. Random funny moments that I hope others find funny, because they still amuse me. And they make me realize even more how much I love him. He makes me laugh. Hysterically. He puts up with my whiny princess moments. He rolls with the punches WAY more easily than me. He centers me. He grounds me. And I sure hope I do some of these things for him too. But gosh darnit, at least I get him to sleep 8 hours a night. That’s something…right?!

Oh girl, 9:30 is LATE! LOL So I guess I’m like 85 huh
November 27, 2012 at 9:12 pm
LOL! I know, 9:30 isn’t exactly uber early, but it felt like it last night
November 27, 2012 at 9:39 am
Right on! There’s something to be said for snuggling up next to the one you love and sleeping as long as you want.
And yes, he cracks me the hell up too!
November 27, 2012 at 9:13 pm
There REALLY is! A total comfort to it!! He cracks me the hell up DAILY.
November 27, 2012 at 9:48 am
HAHAHAHAHA. Oh my GOD I am cracking up. Thank you, I needed that this morning! ;0)
November 27, 2012 at 9:13 pm
He’s hysterical, that M
November 27, 2012 at 10:03 am
Ahhhhhhhhhh LOVE IT!! I should do one of these when the boy is home…we say crazy random stuff to each other all the time that turns into whole conversations that leave us laughing hysterically
November 27, 2012 at 9:13 pm
Def do!! it is so fun to write these when I get a slew of funnies together
November 27, 2012 at 10:29 am
Love the random funny moments. They are what makes a relationship after all.
November 27, 2012 at 9:13 pm
So true!! They are the best moments sometimes!!
November 27, 2012 at 10:32 am
Hahaha – as long as he keeps you laughing, life is good.
November 27, 2012 at 9:14 pm
Indeed he does
The best!
November 27, 2012 at 11:45 am
i love these, not so much because i understand what’s funny about them (the model/hand commercial went completely over my head…guess i need to see the commercial) but because it reminds me of the inside jokes that eric and i share. and when it comes down to it, that’s what really keeps a relationship not just surviving, but thriving–the ability to be able to laugh together and make each other smile : ) lots of hugs to you both!
November 27, 2012 at 9:15 pm
It’s the snickers commercial! I just asked M
and actually, it’s Joe Pesci, not Danny DeVito! Doi. So funny. Anyway, I totally agree with you, it’s the inside jokes, the funny moments, the stuff that keep us, us. Right? XOXO!
November 27, 2012 at 12:07 pm
now I am picturing a cat walking upright… an old boyfriend in college (now an illustrator cartoonist) used to draw me pictures of cats walking on two legs, because I always thought that idea is funny – I have one drawing where the cat is wearing an apron and cooking at the stove…
the fun and funny moments are what it is all about… those little things that are the big things!
November 27, 2012 at 9:15 pm
LOL! Glad you ‘got’ where that joke was going! So true, though, right? if cats walked upright!
November 27, 2012 at 1:00 pm
You two are so cute and hilarious, you know? You totally had me laughing out loud. Those little funny moments and inside jokes are the best. Sorry about the Christmas tree but I love that you are creating new traditions. That’s the best part of being together and creating your own family.
November 27, 2012 at 9:16 pm
Glad you laughed too
It’s always a fun time together hehe. And I am SO excited at our new traditions too!
November 27, 2012 at 7:32 pm
LOLOL I LOVE you guys. Seriously. Esp how M gets you to laugh at yourself more and more, taking yourself less seriously (Scott is HUGELY helpful in this area for me!!) and having so much fun together. And side note? M friggin KILLS me with his one liners, I love him!
November 27, 2012 at 9:17 pm
M and Scott have similar senses of humor. We need a post where we recap one of their hilarious conversations
Dude. So funny. M has the best one liners though, you gotta admit
And he is good at making me laugh when I am being far too whiney
November 28, 2012 at 12:17 am
9:30? Sometimes I am just waking up from my afternoon nap at 9:30!!!!!
And seriously, I can’t wait to hear about your Christmas traditions, so hurry up and exchange for the 7′ tree so I can hear about it.
November 28, 2012 at 9:32 am
LOL! I knew you’d die at the 9:30 comment
I hope we get the tree issue fixed today and then I will share it hehe
November 28, 2012 at 7:26 am
bahahaha, yes! I love them. slaphappy Wednesday for me here! And 9:30 is glorious. But i can’t sleep in past 6am now. I am ruined!
November 28, 2012 at 9:32 am
slaphappy indeed! but it is winesday, so that’s ok
I can’t sleep in much either. once in awhile, 8 am, and that feels ridiculously glorious!
November 28, 2012 at 11:32 am
So what did you do with the tree(s)?? Keep them? We sleep for a long time too..we go to bed around 9pm. lol
November 28, 2012 at 11:44 am
I am exchanging it for the right one. Well, M is, hopefully today
Fingers crossed! hehe. We need our sleep, right?!
November 28, 2012 at 4:38 pm
9:30?! I sometimes don’t even get dinner until then! Oh my schedule is so crazy! HAHA!
I love the first one – that’s hysterical! I’ve never seen that commercial…I think I need to look it up!
November 28, 2012 at 5:43 pm
It’s a funny commercial. Actually Joe Peschi, not sure why I thought Danny DeVito!
