You all know my husband, right? Cleatus? He’s a pretty good guy. Today we went to the mall together (I have been having some weird sort of Gymboree clothing craving and he was nice enough to tag along while I satisfied my need for overpriced children’s clothing.) and as we were passing by a jewelry store he drug me in.
I, being the financially responsible, mature adult that I am, said “Oh, no, dear. I already have a ring, let’s just keep walking.”
He responded by pointing to many shiny, glittery rings and asking which I liked best.
Our ten year anniversary is next year, you see, and he wants to know how much money he needs to start saving.
Again, being the responsible, mature woman that I am, I pointed at the largest diamond I could find and asked the saleslady if she had anything a bit, you know, bigger. And more sparkly.
I like to make Cleatus’s life hard. It’s just what I do.
On the way out, I asked if he thought the big huge diamond I liked was a bit too much for me and he responded, sincerely, that nothing was too much for me.
He likes to make me happy. It’s just what he does.
Also, what the hell? I sat down here to make fun of Cleatus, not tell you what a sweet guy he is. I hate when I get all mushy. Now I have to go kiss him. But don’t worry, as I’m kissing him, I’ll reach around and give him a wedgie.

Your blog is like a 30 minute sitcom, there’s a few laughs, somebody wrecks a car, and at the end of the day everybody loves one another and its OK. That’s what I think, anyway.
One of my faves was when ‘you’ replaced the windows.

Wait, wait, wait, you’re telling me your husband actually went to the mall with you then HE suggested you look at jewelery? What planet did you find him on? My husband doesn’t know what the hell a Gymboree is but I’m pretty sure he’d never agree to go shopping there with me especially after he sees the amount of money I spend there in tights alone.

He’s definitely a keeper. The mall? Diamonds? Supporting a gymboree fix? And he looks darn cute jumping on a trampoline.

Thanks for the Cleatus pics & granting me & the BFF’s request! So did you get anything at the store??!!
Sidebar – how long did it take you to get Cleatus to wear the plaid shorts. It was a battle for me & the hubby. Finally, I drug him to the shorts section of Target and said, see, there is nothing else! Now he likes them…

I stopped reading right at the part where you said “Today we went to the mall together …” because seriously, my heart stopped and I had to take a baby aspirin.
Must make the hubby read this.
