Have you ever had days like this...

Well, a few days ago I made my sourdough bread. It was great. I got the recipe here:

http://confectionsofamasterbaker.blogspot.com/2008/09/be-nice-to-your-mothersponge-part-2.html

So this morning, I decided to do the sourdough pretzels, recipe located here:

http://confectionsofamasterbaker.blogspot.com/2010/02/bretzen-putting-bayrisch-in-pretzel.html

We own a restaurant and my husband does the food shopping for the restaurant and at the same time, us. So, this morning I was in the kitchen feeding my sourdough starter and I yelled out to my husband:

Me: Wow! My yeast is REALLY thriving!

Hubby: I bought some vinegar!

Me: Uhhhh...NO, my sourdough starter!

Hubby: OH!

A little later, I was sitting playing with our puppy, Buster.

Me: Ouch! No, Buster! OUCH! Buster, NO! Mike, Buster won't stop biting me!

Hubby: He's biting you because you cut his balls off!

Then later:

Hubby: Where's the chews?

Me: What Shoes?

Hubby: No, chews! I can't find the chews.

Me: I don't know what shoes you want.

hubby: No! Chews! Chews! Chews!

Me: Damn it Mike, WHAT SHOES?

Hubby: Not SHOES, CHEWS! C-h-e-w-s! For the puppy!

Sometimes I think we've just been married too long ---

I can say we've had days like that--we've only been married 2 years, but my husband and I have been together for almost 16 years, so somedays do feel like that. :D

Grammar-

I think it's the name...My Mike does non-sequiturs all the time and has selective hearing, often...to be fair, he also has a hearing problem. Which of course, he uses to the nth degree!

Grammar... LMAO. It's seems to happen to all of us. My husband and I do the same thing. Hang in there young lady. :-)

I will have to check out your recipes later. For some reason our filter at work won't let me go there. They sound good.

They are good! I'm getting ready to go on a diet here soon though. My jeans are starting to cut off my circulation to my brain! ;0)

not over it

My solution to this type of thing is to work 70 hours a week.

We never see each other so we don't have time to fight.

I'm never retiring cause I don't want to get a divorce.
