I just wanted to do a quick post today to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates it, and let you know the blog will be quiet for the next couple days as I'll be spending time with family. And reading. Probably mostly reading ;-)
There may be a little football watching mixed in there at some point as the hubs is in a fantasy football league with all the men on my side of the family and is currently winning, much to the chagrin of my dad and brother. They are somewhat less than amused. I just laugh at their antics and then return to reading. This is how conversations with the hubs often go when we're both absorbed in our separate entertainments:
Hubs: Dammit! I can't believe I didn't play that running back! Also, this new point system your brother's worked out for our league this year is ridiculous. The guy I have on the bench has 60 points.
Me: Uh huh.
Hubs: 60 POINTS JENNY AND I DIDN'T PLAY HIM!
Me: That's a tragedy.
Hubs: It is. I'm going to lose this week.
Me: Mm hm.
Hubs: Are you even listening?
Me: What?
Hubs: Have you heard anything I just said?
Me: Absolutely. I hear and absorb everything you say. You are my world.
Hubs: Right.
Me: Want me to tell you about the book I'm reading?
Hubs: What?
Me: This book, it's made of win. Want me to tell you why?
Hubs: Uh huh.
Me: Really?
Hubs: Mm hm. I'm so pissed I didn't play him. Now I only have my defense left against the four guys your dad's got going tonight and tomorrow.
Me: I would leave you for Jericho Barrons and/or Noah Shaw and/or Kaidan Rowe if they were real. Just saying.
Hubs: What's that?
Me: Sucks you're losing.
Hubs: I know!
Me: I'm going to go back to reading now.
Hubs: Uh huh.
Ah, enlightened conversations, how I love you so:)
*giggles* looool! Same could happen here just not with Football but with Flying ..... Oh and I'd totally leave everything behind for Jeriocho, Kaidan and let's add Bones!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving hon!!! *hugs*
BONES!!! Oh yes, he would be added to the list as well:)
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving :D
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteAww I love your conversation with your husband Jenny, I would totally use the I'm leaving you for Barrons line too! Hope you have a great thanksgiving Jenny and get to do plenty of reading too! :)
ReplyDeleteI use it often, but it's always lost on him. I need him to read the books so he knows how serious a threat it is ;-)
DeleteLOL- that was funny....kinda sounds like a conversation I would have with my hubs only he plays war games and glares at me to stop talking cause I make his guys get killed.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!!!!
I get those glares too. The way our family room is set up, I have to walk in front of the tv to get to "my" couch and every time I cross in front of Kevin on "his" couch, I get his guy killed. Sometimes I pace back and forth between the kitchen and family room just to piss him off ;-)
DeleteHahaha. Jenny! My boyfriend is on a fantasy football team, too, and I usually don't even have the excuse of reading a book to ignore him. (So I space out or watch TV when he tries to talk to me. That might be worse, actually.)
ReplyDeleteHahahaha at least we're not alone:) We're partners in our ignoring of significant others. Win.
DeleteHaha! I am in a fantasy football league this year, so shockingly I often sound a lot like your husband. haha. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteAre you winning? It's always worse when he's winning. When he's not having a great year he doesn't care nearly as much!
DeleteHilarious conversation Jenny!!!!!!! Nice to read one of your witty conversations with your husband. Hubs is a cool short hand nickname!
ReplyDeleteEspecially love the part when you say you would leave him for a book character and he doesn't hear you.
:0 Happy Thanksgiving! Happy Reading!!!!!
Rachel
Hahahaha yes, he has selective hearing. He never hears my fictional boyfriend threats ;-)
DeleteBWA HA HA!!! Love this. :D You two are full of WIN. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Turkey day!!
We're ridiculous. There are times I just look at him and I'm like "why did we get married?" and he's all "no idea." :) Sometimes I love him though ;-)
DeleteLove the conversation! Think my hubby and I have had a few of those over the years, as he's into fantasy football as well. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to know these conversations are not unusual! We have these types of talks often:)
DeleteHah! This is hilarious! You two are a match made in heaven. ;) Hope you enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteAlso, this -> I would leave you for Jericho Barrons and/or Noah Shaw and/or Kaidan Rowe if they were real. Just saying. - I want it on a t-shirt.
YES! We should definitely make t-shirts with that on them. And hats. And mugs:)
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving, Jenny <3 Your conversation with your husband is so funny! I do love it when you chat with someone while you're both occupied with your own activities! Hehe, and I do adore the 'I would leave you for...' - I wish all my book boyfriends were real! If only *sighs*
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend!
Thanks Beverley! I wish all my book boyfriends were real too - just as long as their heroines stay fictional so I have a fighting chance with them ;-)
DeleteAwwwww I'm the same way.
ReplyDeleteA very happy Thanksgiving to you too!
:D
And you as well Juju!
Deletethat's funny!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, Jenny ^__^
btw, I love your blog. Been stalking for quite awhile but haven't got the courage to live a message till now. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here but I hope you are enjoying yours with your hubby!
YEAH BLOG STALKER! *high five* Please always leave a comment, no courage necessary as I'm completely ridiculous and quite possibly the least intimidating person ever. You could just leave a comment telling me what you had for lunch and I'd be all "that is amazing, tell me more" :)
Deleteoh poor me.. I misspelled some word in my comment above..see? that's how nervous I am commenting here :)
DeleteDON'T BE NERVOUS! I'll stalk your blog and leave you all sorts of comments and then you won't have to be nervous anymore:)
DeleteThat's hilarious! If I read in the same room as my husband when hes playing his war games our conversations may be similar ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
The above conversation happens ALL the time. It's even worse when he's playing Black Ops on Playstation. I couldn't post one of those conversations because there would be too much swearing. He swears at what are probably 12-year old children when they kill him:)
DeleteHAHAHHAHAHAHHAA You guys are HILARIOUS! I don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in Aus, but a very Happy Thanksgiving to youuuu<3
ReplyDeleteWe try ;-) He doesn't like when I post about him, which is why I do. I find it amusing:)
DeleteAhhhhhhhhh snap! We have this type of conversation nearly every weekend. I even started reading out loud once and he didn't even notice.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!!!
YES! We should all start a club:) I haven't tried reading out loud yet, I might have to see what happens this weekend if I do. I'll report my findings:)
DeleteBa ha ha! I love this convo. He's moaning about losing 60 points and you're all "Nooooo. I can't believe that character died!!!!"
ReplyDeleteExactly! He never cares when I'm distraught over something that happened in a book, but when he gets killed for the 800th time in Black Ops he expects me to be outraged on his behalf. Ridiculous:)
DeleteHappy Thanksgiving! I hope you have an awesome day :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Savy! Same to you:)
DeleteIm know Im late but I wish you a great weekend! I hope you had a wonderful turkey and tones of pumpkins! Enjoy today's sales, too!
ReplyDeleteIm on my finals and I have been around, but not with much time to say hi T_T...
Take care sweetheart! muah!
GOOD LUCK ON YOUR FINALS NATALIA! I hope when they're done you have some time to sit back and relax a bit:)
DeleteLOL!!!! Reminds me of a lot of conversations I have with my sis :P
ReplyDelete*chuckles* I LOVE that conversation, Jenny! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Happy reading. :)
ReplyDeleteYou guys are too funny! I don't even bother to try to talk to by hubby about books...and when he talks to me about music or guitars I just hear "blah, blah, blah,...thanks for listening even though you don't care!" to which I respond"you're welcome" LOL
ReplyDeleteLOL..loved it. Happy Thanksgiving. I didn't surf the blogs over the holiday and only commented on blogs who stopped by mine..but its Monday and I'm back...
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with married couples...are you sure you weren't taping me and my husband? Of course, I'd have to insert car stuff where the sport stuff is.
