Which fruit are you?

Yesterday James and I were driving to Value Village after work to find a Halloween costume for him, and as I often do, I reached over and patted his leg. I was about to say that he was nice and soft, but then I said, “wait a minute, you’re not soft at all. [...]

Ikea washroom fun

A random 9 year old boy, in the women’s washroom, wiped his nose on my sleeve. Yep. I walked in, and he made a beeline straight for me. I thought for a second, am I in the wrong one? Nope, no urinals, he must be in the wrong one here. [...]

so is that smart or not?

James: “That’s about as smart as a chicken that doesn’t lay eggs, except on Tuesdays.”
Raced in a women’s alleycat this Saturday and took 7th place. It was really cleverly thought out and a lot of fun. I’m the proud new owner of a 40-tooth red chainring (which I’m really not sure what [...]

on the phone, after getting a haircut

James: “You have to come smell my hair. I smell like a coconut.”

high fives for Captain Vagueness

James and I were walking along Burrard Street (major street in the downtown core for those of you unfamiliar) and he said, “Remember the time we walked down here before?”
“Uh, which time?”
“I don’t know, any of them.”
Unrelated - I made the kickassingest green bean casserole last night.

james a bum?

James was at the office super late last night, since they have a ton of work to do, and they were in the zone and didn’t want to interrupt it. I know sometimes a couple of the guys have just slept in the office. So this morning:
[10:06] James: hellooooo
[10:06] Elaine: hi!
[10:06] Elaine: [...]

we've had a drought lately, haven't we?

A couple days ago James came over to take care of me (read: do my dishes) while I was sick. When he had to go, instead of saying “well, I’ve got to go now” he meowed, got up, scratched the wall some, and meowed a bit more.
Today he was over for dinner again and [...]

aren't these things usually spontaneous?

A couple nights ago James was sleeping over and we were snuggling.
“Hey Elaine… tell me some sweet nothings.”
“Um, okay…. zero sugar cubes.”
“Haha, tell me another!”
“Empty jar of honey.”
“Okay. Now whisper loving sentiments in my ear.”
Yesterday and the day before I was crampy and SO TIRED and felt a general malaise all day. Eating [...]

:(

James was consoling me yesterday, since I was upset about lovely cold fluffy snow and clear blue skies being washed away by stupid slushy rain. “Aww,” he said, “my leetle Elaine misses the snowiness.”

how touching

James loves the banana-peanutbutter smoothies for breakfast, so I made some today. We were sitting on the couch, drinking our smoothies, waiting for Arthur to come on, and he started shivering. Having finished my smoothie, I got up and put the blanket on him.
“No I want you, I don’t want a blankie! [...]
