Why I Love My Husband
Apr 23rd, 2007 by admin
Today, CS and I swapped cars for the second day. Friday, he took my car to get an oil change and some other work done and I took his to get washed at my office. My car got the oil change and work done, but CS’s car did not get washed. It wasn’t my fault–they had 17 cars ahead of me and just weren’t going to be able to get to it.
So we swapped again today for CS to get a brake tag (or what the rest of the country calls an “inspection sticker”–so many extra syllables!) for my car and for me to get his car washed. He was not able to get the brake tag because the third taillight was out–but he did replace that light for me so I can get my tag this weekend. And on my end, the dumb carwashery folk screwed me for a second time and DID NOT wash poor CS’s car. I felt so terrible!
And that’s just the beginning of what CS has done just today. He dropped off my dry cleaning (he wears nothing that needs dry cleaning, the lucky bastard). And when I called on my way home to tell him I was not able to get his car washed, he told me to not worry about it and “come home and eat before we leave for Lamaze.” He had dinner ready for me!!
Oh, and the BIG thing he did today was finish painting Sun’s room that he started yesterday. It looks so beautiful! I LOVE IT! He did a great job!! I really can’t say how pleased I am. It is finally starting to feel like a nursery and not the spare room where the dogs sleep at night. The dogs are getting a whole new room of their own added to the back of our house. I just hope it gets done before the weather gets too hot and wet.
So back to this dinner thing. Since CS was out on Metairie Road dropping off my dry cleaning, he stopped at Nor-Joe’s and picked up a WHOLE MUFFALETTA! The LAST THING I need is this dang sandwich showing up at my house uninvited. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give the muffaletta sandwich no more than a 6. Or I DID until I had Nor-Joe’s; theirs is a perfect 10. This sandwich is truly incredible, and it just tastes better the more I eat it. Which I will do every time one is put in front of me, whether I am hungry or not.
Thus, even though I had multi-grain cheerios for breakfast and an amazingly healthy salad for lunch (all my co-workers were WAY impressed with what I am feeding Sun–little do they know!), I am STILL eating restaurant food that I should be avoiding if I don’t want to deliver a 10-pound baby in a few short weeks. A baby that will certainly love her soft lavender room her Daddy painted so perfectly for her.
Stumble it!
The best-laid healthy eating plans have gone awry again. But then again, what’s not healthy about a muffaletta? It’s got all your food groups: dressing, cured meats, cheese and bread.
Nor-Jo’s better have the best muffaletta in town. Hardly anyone speaks English in the store. At least, that is how it was when I went get me some Italian sausage a few years ago.
I imagined being in a little Italian village with the local women screaming at me to just get out of their kitchen and let them work.
Oh by the way, YUCK on the muffaletta. I am not one to pass up a meat and cheese sandwich, especially with all those meats. But olive salad, yuck.
You need to start thinking healthy if you are going to push that baby out. Just think if I eat this the bigger a baby I will have to push out. That will make you push that food away from ya.
