Encyclopedia Edwards is on the case!

Thursday, January 12th, 2012

It turns out my grandmother-in-law did not shank my tire. Honest mistake that anyone could make really. So how did that shiv get in my tread? We have a real mystery on our hands. AAA Gary thought he was so smart suggesting I should have SEEN IT IN THE ROAD.

AS IF!

I told him I had WAY too many things to look at while I was driving. My personal cell (including email, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest), my Blackberry (instant messages, emails, calendar entries), my iPod (podcast during morning show radio commercials), makeup (don’t judge–we were running behind this morning!), swim bag (did I remember my goggles for swimming at lunch today?)… Plus I was thirsty and had to get my water bottle from the back seat!

I know. He didn’t think it was funny either. I told him my theory about MomMom, he still blamed me.

But I know better. My current suspect is Paul. He has had his eye on a new reciever for MONTHS now. I think he rigged up a system so that whenever I went to the ATM (I was leaving the bank drive-through when I was stabbed), the weapon would deploy. Just to punish me for withdrawing money.

The other theory I have with Paul as the prime suspect is that he thinks I am fat and knew when I got cash I was heading straight for the Pepsi machine. Its got to be him, look how shady he is:

The goatee TOTALLY shouts "I DID IT!"

Sometimes he is so patient I think he is deaf. But he’s sooooo cute!!

The other woman

Monday, July 4th, 2011

The kissing…the baby talk…the way their eyes follow each other around the room…the cuddling late into the morning on weekends–and some weekdays when I get up early to go workout… They think I don’t notice. How can I NOT notice? Its in my face all the time! So disrespectful–my husband and his other woman.

But then she will decide to go to bed early with me and cuddle up against my back, or she will get up early with me to go run. And it all makes sense!

Paul’s new nickname

Sunday, June 12th, 2011

Paul was working in Crystal Reports– a  report writing software program– today at work and it kept forcing him to register (which was insane for other reasons, but that is not what this post is about). One of the fields he had to populate was “job title.” Ironically, “Data Manager” was not one of the choices (also insane, but still not the topic of this post). So he searched until he found one he liked…

Love him!!!!!

Product Review: Homax Caulk Refinishing Kit

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

One of the projects I worked on while FUN-employed was to patch some crap spots in our bathroom, remove the caulk and replace the caulk. Then of course paint. When I looked online for how to remove caulk, several tools were recommended. I consulted my dad, the Do It Yourself Puba and he wisely said, “Any project looks better when you use the right tools.” So off to Lowe’s I went.

Chris from the Greensboro store’s paint department recommended the Homax kit:

Homax Caulk Refinishing Kit

Not only did it have a tool to remove caulk, but it also had a separate tool for applying the caulk! All for $5!! It kicked ass for removing the caulk.  I used it when applying the silicone caulk and got the opposite result. It looked like butt when I used it on the silicone caulk. When I used it on the latex caulk (long story why I used 2 kinds of caulk), it was back to kicking ass instead of looking like ass. Interesting findings. I am glad I bought it even if Paul did laugh at me. He recommended I use a screw driver. Funny thing was my dad said he often just used a screw driver.

Maybe the moral of the story is not buy the proper tools for the job. Instead it is girls really do marry their fathers!

I have the BEST husband in the world!

Imagine a stressful work week at a job where you are not really happy. Then your ding dong wife has a month of vacation and gets to do NOTHING?! Talk about potential to be crabby. Now add this unemployed wifey wanting you to do home improvement projects at night when you come home. After you cook you and her dinner. Double crabby potential. Multiply that by 4 days and it is Thursday night. If you are Paul, Super Husband, here is what you do:

Laundry Room "renovation." We had one shelf that had all that stuff on it. Paul moved the shelf up, then added the 2nd one. DOUBLING our storage space--WHOOOO HOOOOOO!!!

Not to mention he is funny and super-cute:

Paul wears his goggles instead of sunglasses on our way back from an open water swim practice.

Jake (1999-2010)

Saturday, September 18th, 2010

Enjoying a favorite past time--riding in the car--on the 4th of July this year. He was diagnosed w lymphoma the next day.

Yesterday we buried my man’s best friend. It was so quiet when I fed Maggie and Katie this morning–no Jake to bark his hungry head off. Paul wondered when he was going to stop looking for him in every room. Never. My mom said it best: it will leave a hole in your heart the shape of your pet. And Jake was a big big dog, with an even bigger personality.

The boys after another of Jake's past times--swimming. This was also July of this year, at a local lake one morning before work. Probably after a 3rd past time--Jake tricking us into thinking he was coming out of the water when it was time to go. It always took a few tries to get him back on the leash.

Dear Mr. Body Snatcher Alien Man…

Monday, September 6th, 2010

…do I need to be worried about the alien you have left in Paul’s place?

Not sure when you snatched Paul and left the substitute, but I just realized it last night when he took a side trip insisting on shopping for shoes in two different stores. I thought that was bad enough, but then we got home and he started reading. That is not the surprise, but when he was still reading 3 hours later…WHOA.

THAT is how I knew he was a droid of some sort. But will he still cook for me?

Hmmmmm—he did suggest going out for dinner last night, that was weird.

Uh oh….he also didn’t clean all morning yesterday while I was at triathlon practice!!!!!

BRING BACK MY HUSBAND RIGHT NOW!!!!!

“Benadryl doesn’t affect me like that”

So says Paul, but a picture is worth a thousand words.

You can't really tell here, but 1) he was on a gurney in THE HALL, and 2) he sleeps w his eyes open.

Paul got stung by a bee today 10 minutes into his afternoon bike ride w co-workers. They were riding my direction and I was going to meet up w them. Then I got a call, “I’ve been stung by a bee. They are taking me to Wesley Long [hospital].” They gave him benedryl and prednisone. Bike ride cancelled, 3 1/2 hours in the ED, $100 co-pay. Not such a bad reaction this time–PRICELESS.
