As you all know (...or just me, since I am the only one that reads this), I love my wife. One of the things I love about her is that she has so many talents. She is always doing something whether it is cooking, baking, designing, decorating, creating, photographing, organizing, cleaning, running, exercising, changing a diaper, playing with the kids, making food for the kids, dancing with the kids...you name it she does it, all of it REALLY well, and usually she does it all within the course of a day. I don't know how, she actually makes me really tired.
So one of the things about having that much to do...well...one tends to have a lot on his/her mind at any given moment. That leads me to a story about last night. You see, sometimes she will be thinking about something, have a question about it, but by the time she is able to phrase the question and allow it the opportunity to escape from her mouth, she has already moved on to something else she needs to be thinking about.
I can always tell when she has a lot on her mind, because her eyes will be somewhat glazed over, her voice somewhat soft, the words slow to come out, and the questions that she will ask me are typically spontaneous in nature, blurted out in the most random of times. And they tend to be phrased in such a way that leaves me no opportunity to comprehend what she is referring to, let alone try and put together a helpful and thoughtful response. Which, by the way, can drive me crazy because I usually love to give my input.
Such was the case last night. She is planning a date night for a couple and will be serving sparkling grape juice. Her question was an easy one. She was simply wondering if sparkling grape juice had a twist off cap or a cork. This was important because if sparkling grape juice did in fact have a cork, it would mean that she would then be required to bring a corkscrew. So, to make a short story long, I, sitting on the couch innocently watching a college basketball game, fell victim to the following question...
Carrie: "Hey babe..."
Me: "yeah"
Carrie: ".........um........do the................do the juice things have a twisty thing?"
Me: "do the juice THINGS....have a TWISTY thing?? ..................................*punches the nearest pillow*
..and that is a prime example of what happens at least twice a week.

I think that could very well be caused from hanging out with kids all the time. I am having a similar situation as we speak with my almost 4 year old. :)btw, now that I know you have blogs I shall be following them in google reader. This is Katy Woodbury btw. :P And what is this thing about your wife planning date nights? I am thoroughly intrigued.
not sure why I am logged in with Jake's account... oh well!
Hi Katy! Thanks for the comment. What is google reader? I should look into that. Yeah, Carrie does a lot of catering gigs. Big and small events. The date nights thing is an idea she had a while back and has done a few, but looking to do more of it. She caters the dinner to whatever location, and has some pretty cool meal options and/or date ideas for the couple. She prices it really reasonable right now too while she builds her business. So if you or anyone you know might be interested, feel free to give her a call or shoot her an email!
