The Conversations of my Marrage

First I have to say I got Pat, good (see the haircut post).

I called from work in the morning asking if he needed anything from Trader Joe's. He listed off a few things, all needing refrigeration, so I let him know that I wouldn't be able to get them. During the day I decided to wait until the weekend so I could get everything he wanted.

I got home and let him know before I left for the gym that we would go together this weekend. After I got back I reiterated the story.

As we were cooking dinner together he turned to me and asked if I had gone to Trader Joe's.

'what did I just tell you 10 minutes ago?'

'um. . . '

I then fill him in on the details, again. We will go together this weekend with a cooler! I think he finally got it, on the 3rd try.


Then a few minutes later a different conversation all together.

I set reminders for almost everything on my cell phone. Seriously it's the only way I remember anything.

My phone rang the reminder ring and I was baffled. What could I possibly need to remember tonight? Then it dawned on me.

'Pat is it the 8th?'

'It's almost 8' he replied

'No is it the 8th of October' I asked again

'what' he says

'Is it the 8th of October'

'Yes'

(I can't wait until we are 80, then again maybe we will learn to communicate by then, The hearing-aids can only help)

Anyway I realized that it was Anne's Birthday. I gave her a call and got all caught up while Pat cooked dinner.
