How do you like the new look??? My friend Karma "pimped" my blog. I'm too technologically stunted to do anything like this myself, but I gotta say, "I LOVE IT!!!"
Now, for today's topic. I have been married for 25 years, yet I still frequently have to ask my husband, "Have you ever met me?" He has recently had a renewed interest in fishing. He asked me if I wanted to accompany him on a fishing trip and of course I said, "Hell no."
WHAT?!?! He acts as though he's shocked. "How could you not LOVE to fish?"
Wellll-- let's see. How long do you have for me to answer? 1) I hate being outdoors. My lily-white flesh is likely to burst into flames when exposed to direct sunlight. I don't like to sweat. I don't like to be cold. I don't like sitting on the ground. I don't like bugs. I don't like grass under my butt. I don't like dirt.
2) I don't like dirty hands. To fish, one must first touch a nasty fishing pole; second, one must bait the hook using a nasty worm or some other form of nasty fishbait; third, if you do catch a fish, you have to touch a nasty fish to remove it from the hook. Don't even get me started on the process of preparing said fish for consumption. 3) Fishing bores me out of my mind. Apparently I have the attention span of gnat, but I wish to be entertained if I'm not allowed to talk. I will watch TV for hours, play games or read, but I do not want to just sit there watching water silently
Now, I could politely explain all this to my husband, but I'm thinking if he hasn't heard me say any of these things in the past 25 years, while my attention span may be that of a gnat, his is apparently shorter. I figure a simple "Hell, no" gets the point across much quicker.

I have known you for forty four years and I did not know you did not like bugs or being outdoors. Hmmm.. maybe my attention span is even shorter than your husbands.
You need to come fishing at the lake with me. Here's how it works -the kids fish off the dock and Grandpa baits the hook and takes the fish off. I sit in the boat in the boat dock eating Doritos. Have to say, I'm a fan of fishing.
Love the new look! Fishing isn't so bad if you have really cold beer to go along with it. (I mean really cold beer and lots of it!)
