In the beginning

Running on empty

I often run my truck down to the last drop of gasoline. And by often, I mean every tank. I've been told that, for various automotive reasons, that this is bad for your vehicle. I'm not sure about being bad for your vehicle, but if you unsuccessfully try to pull out that last mile on a drop of gasoline, it is definitely bad for your pride. Shame is increased seven-fold if your wife is in the truck with you.

I feel pretty dumb about the whole thing, which ensures that I will not ever run out of gasoline again, especially with Sammi in the truck. The good news is that we now own a small emergency gasoline can.

Wm.

There's something about William.


Little things that happened over the weekend:

-William always makes me breakfast on the weekends. Today he made pancakes, I just ate seven.

-Last night he was having Cheerios and I always poke my fingers in his bowl and steal them from him. I stole a couple and decided to go ahead and get some of my own. I just put a handful in a bowl without the milk and he asked me, "Are you going to eat those raw?"

-We went to see Be Cool and sat next to two high school boys who talked loudly the whole time one took a call on his cell phone and even had a little flashlight with him so he could read! I was sitting two seats away and found it really annoying. When they started talking really loudly for the third time I leaned over and said, "Boys, could we please use our indoor voices?" They both apologized and left shortly after. William said this was putting it "more condescending" than he would have. I asked him what he would have said that would have been better and he said, "I would have just told them to shut the h*ll up!" Not condescending at all! ; )

-William has left the toilet seat up like twice since we've been married. This weekend was one of them, I was messing with him and gave him a really hard time about it. Later, when I was cleaning the bathroom, I had the seat up and he came by and said, "Hey, for the first time in 8 months, you left it up!"

-He drew me a funny little picture on my belly, eyes and a "wicked" snake tongue coming out of my belly button.


Ok, that's about it. I just thought it would be fun to share a few things.
William makes marriage fun!
