I opted NOT to put my dirty dishes in the dishwasher while Teh German was gone and he came home and got upset about the sink with dishes in it when he came home. He asked why I didn't put my dishes in the dishwasher and I said, "You don't do your own laundry when the hamper is empty." Apparently, this wasn't acceptable and I had to say that I was tired and didn't feel like it. I could have.. I just chose not to... because sometimes, husbands don't need to be spoiled.

Runcations with Teh Bestie and Matilda are the best. Here's why.
Matilda likes making the hotel reservation. We split it 3 ways, she gets points, we get to stay in nice places. Everyone wins.
Teh Bestie manages the expo and race start time/place details. She gets us where we need to be on time.
I manage the food situation. I scour Yelp for good places and determine what is reasonable and what isn't. I make suggestions before we go to make it easier when the time comes to make a decision.
Each person manages their own travel situation.
Everyone is winning.

Oh, yeah I was an asshole and didn't show you the outfit that I/we actually selected for the award dinner. Mah bad.
With my red power heels, of course.

I brought my coworkers Krispy Kreme doughnuts for Fat Tuesday since I had to go into the office for a meeting. Gah, I'm awesome.

The 2nd worst thing about Teh German changing companies. He is no longer working right by the airport for when I need someone to drop me off. The #1 worst thing is that he's not in a convenient location for drop-bys, which I used to do fairly regularly just because if I had the time. No more. Boooooo.

On Teh German's birthday, I discovered my $100 chopping knife that we received as a wedding present in the dishwasher to be washed. DO YOU KNOW WHAT DOESN'T BELONG IN THE DISHWASHER?! MY $100 KNIFE. Do you know what I did? I took it out and hand-washed it with all the love it deserves and said ZERO THINGS to Teh German about it, because 1- it was his birthday and 2- I rarely use that knife because it has to be hand-washed and I know he hates that. I will admit that if I see it again, I will definitely say something.

Let's assume you receive a file named "Lastname Firstname CompanyName FormName.pdf". When saving your file, would you:
A) Name it whatever the fuck you want like the rebel (asshole) you are.
B) Leave the name the same and let the computer decide if it wants to put a (1) after it or not.
C) Some combination of both
D) I'm not downloading your stupid form, it's probably a virus you are trying to get me to download.
E) Fill in the format given with your applicable information.
Because my coworkers tend to think that any option but E is a solid choice.
WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK PEOPLE.

There is a Trump rally in Charleston today. We've planned to completely avoid the area. Also, why it have to change from MAGA to KAGA? (vomit). This rally comes AFTER the shitshow that was the democratic debates on Tuesday night that also took place in Charleston. Our primary election is on Saturday, so I know why all of this is happening, but it doesn't make me hate it less.
I'm over here all, "Get off my lawn!" and my lawn happens to be all of SC now. Sooo there's that.

For Teh German's bday, we went to his favorite pizza place for dinner and I suggested dessert, even if it was just a vanilla milkshake. He really went all out and ordered a Snickers milkshake at Cookout. I ordered from my standard options: peanut butter fudge or strawberry cheesecake.
When we got home... I shared my strawberry cheesecake milkshake with the garage floor. You better believe that I salvaged what could be salvaged and put it in a bowl and ate it (no pics of said bowl, but it happened).
I told Teh German that we were going to have to start taking more selfies since there were almost no photos of us together since NYE. |
SOB. The verb and the noun. |

As a surprise to Teh German, I had a BroBasket delivered to Teh German at work. It wasn't an actual delivery person, but FedEx and the package arrived the afternoon before his bday, but thankfully he had already left and then there was a mix up and someone ended up opening the box? IDK, it was weird when he was telling me about it. Thankfully, they realized it wasn't work related and the package was ultimately delivered to Teh German's desk. THEN.. THENNNN he proceeded NOT to open it ALL DAY LONG until he got home. WUTTTTT??? He's the worst at presents, I swear.
I mean, I'm glad I got to watch him open it, but it was meant to be opened at work so kinda give him a boost for the rest of the day. Siiiiiiigh. I explained to him it was my version of sending him flowers, since he probably wouldn't appreciate flowers in the same way (he concurred).
I did a customized BroBasket with a beer selection, cigars, some pretzels, and beef jerky. I would totally do it again. Then again, I could just reuse that same basket and load it up and deliver it myself for cheaper.
I'd show you a pic of the basket, but Teh German opened it so fast and I didn't even think to take a photo while he was opening because I was in the moment. #NotSorry
