Sh!t my husband says
in Chit Chat
We hung out with friends Sunday night -- the friends who are getting married on Saturday.
So as we were talking about the wedding, the bride said, 'Oh, I wasn't going to do a seating chart, but then I thought, at least assigning tables was a good idea, so that people were sitting with people they knew.'
I said, 'Yeah, that's why we did it. And it honestly took me about 20 minutes to do it. DH's only request was that his friends be seated closest to the bar.'
DH chimed in and said, 'Yeah, that was the only wedding-related decision I got to make.'
I.Just.Looked.At.Him.
Then he said, 'Oh, yeah....and the flowers -- no roses -- and the cake and the cupcakes and the [GMs'] ties and the readings and the hymns and the reception venue and the food and the alcohol.'
I said, 'And the centrepieces. Because we had that fun little discussion in the craft store about whether I'd considered mason jars and whether the votives should be orange or red and if it was an amber-y orange or an orange-y orange or was it an apple-y red or a cinnamon-y red.'
He said, 'Oh, right. I guess I did have a lot of say in the wedding planning.'
Yes, darling, yes you did.
I'm gonna go with 'not my circus, not my monkeys.'

Haha @HisGirllFriday13, if I agree to be a minion, will you agree to please close the moon roof when doing experiments so that I don't float away? (Hope you know which part in the movie I am talking about or this will come across as super crazy!)
Wow, really? That's pretty low. And you thought we were the mean and rude ones? Grow up.
I'll be a minion if we get goodnight kisses

This is an excellent idea

Okay, now that that is settled...I can't remember any quotable quotes from my husband about the wedding but we apparently have very different solutions to the fact that our sprinkler system isn't working. I just want to hire somebody and be done with it. We have the money. He, on the other hand, is convinced that he has to do the work himself with his father at some still to be named point in the future. With no background in sprinkler repair whatsoever. In the meantime I will continue to spend a half hour every morning water in our lawn with a hose.
@Crossmyheartxoxo-Actually I am usually too busy making him dinner and fetching his scotch, smoking jacket, and slippers while simutaneously cutting him a new cigar and teaching our children French. All the while, of course, maintaining a spotless home to have his boss over for impressive dinner parties.
I agree with PP. I think men get used to hearing the woman does all the planning. Good thing your DH quickly realized he was not in that category.
FI has been kinda spacey lately and yesterday at the culver's drive through he did this. Photo attached because he posted it as his facebook status. I couldn't stop laughing. We have been working a lot of overtime. I can see answering the phone that way by mistake...but to a fast food drive through speaker! I could have died of laughter!
