Deer in the Headlights

My husband and I are weird, yes I know this. We have this thing where we'll just be sitting together, minding our own business, or maybe he'll just walk through the room where I happen to be and then it happens. He turns into a deer in the headlights. He'll just look at me with this wide-eyed, terrified look and I'll know, I've got to chase him. He's the antelope, I'm the lion and I've got to catch him or die trying.

See? Weird, I told you.

So anyway, the other day, he was getting ready to take a nap (in between church services on Sunday...preaching really takes it out of you) when suddenly, I became the antelope. So I fly off the couch and start running with all my might when the lion suddenly leaps and tackles me on the floor of our recently emptied dining room. I landed hard on my hip and now have a ginormous bruise to show for it. Or not to show, I AM a little modest. I'd take a picture to share with the world if I weren't so dern modest...poor little antelope.

The Quest for Turtles

For a while I've been driven crazy by the idea of no pets! We live in student housing and are not allowed to have dogs or cats. I've been bugging hubby to allow me to get at least a bird or a lizard, just something! I have never been without a pet.

Finally, I think I may be getting my way. I've been a princess around the house lately, since I stayed up All Stinking Night helping him complete a school project. Now's the perfect time to broach the subject of turtles, don't you think? I've even already got names for the little darlings. Howard and Holden. (after Howard Roark from Fountainhead and Holden Caulfield from The Catcher in the Rye) Cute, huh?

Wish me luck, I'm going to try and sweet talk him tonight...
