A Real Conversation

Cares: Okay Winston here you go into your pen, I'm off to Yoga! Be back in a bit! Love you!
Cares walks out the front door gets into her car and drives off. 
Cares:  Looks at the gas light that has gone from a lovely shade of marigold to a flashing blood red orange. Hmmm that's a weird feeling...c'mon car let's just get to the gas station. Frowns at the gas light that has gone from a lovely shade of marigold to a flashing blood red orange. We can do it!
Or not!
Cares pulling the car over one block from the house
Cares: Hmmmm yeah I don't think this is going to work. Come on car, almost home, just. a. little. bit. more.
Well at least I made it back home. I guess I better text Shawn: Hi babe, can I use the gas in the gas can for the lawn mower? I think I might run out of gas!
Shawn: NO!!!
Cares: Um why not?
Shawn: Because it's mixed with a special formula for the weed whacker*.

A SPECIAL FORMULA FOR THE WEED WHACKER? Ummm what is it? Some powerful mix of gasoline and super hero juice that not only whacks the weeds but rakes them up and gently places them into the big green compost bin? I mean how precious IS this piece of metal?

Sigh. I SUPPOSE I can relate in my own way. I just think it's adorable how he takes to things sometimes.


Shawn continued: Do you want me to pick up some gas for you?
Cares: Okay, great

The conversation continued later that evening after Shawn returned home

Cares: I've NEVER run out of gas before babe!
Shawn (smiling his chesire cat grin): I know EXACTLY what happened. Your gas light came on last night, you saw it, decided to get home from work, drive to work in the morning and get it on your way home.
As he says this he's kind of chuckling because he knows he's right. And he is!
Cares: Wellllll, yeah so then I just figured I could get home and get it on my way to Yoga! But then it started sputtering and stuff.
Shawn: Walking away shaking his head smiling his chesire cat grin.

I love my predictability. :-)

*This is the same weed whacker that took Shawn 4 hours to choose at B&B Small Engine Repair. (No Jules, NOT the bar!) Oh don't be fooled, they have all kinds of weed whacking accessories including riding mowers, gopher traps, state of the art shovels...Every adornment any Man Town would be overjoyed to store. I even overheard Shawn talking to his BFF Ramos that he could easily drop 1K every time he goes in. Um this man has a hard time dropping $50 at the market! He LOVES that place.

Date Night with the Bubba

Go Sharks!

On my way home I got a call from Bubba inviting me to the Shark's game. Uh wait...you mean I have to SKIP the gym, NOT help Shawn pack AND I get to watch a live sporting event.

I'm IN!

Last night's game was filled with so much drama. Here's a short recap:

Oddo: You guys were at that game??? What an asweome finish.
Cares: It was insane. Such a great game. Nabby was off the hook at the end. I lost count of his saves. He got a standing ovation. Probably the best Sharks game I'VE ever been to. Besides I'd never seen a shoot out before. Talk about pressure. It was so tense!
Oddo: Caroline....you sure you were at the game last night? There was no shoot out...we won in regulation.
Bubba: LOL, what she means to say, is that there was a penalty shot. Big drama, w/ everyone on their feet, but Boyle hit the post. Great game though! Luv you Cares!!
Oddo: Oh Caroline....you have much to learn.
Cares: HA! See that's what big brothers are for!

Well I may not know a shoot out from a penalty shot, but Hockey's always been a filler between NFL and March Madness anyhow. I can hold my own on any one of those pools!
