Last night around 11PM I say to Carlos:
“I’m tired, I’m going to bed now.”
“I’m going to read for a bit longer.”
“All right. Night. Love you.”
“Love you, too.”
I go to bed and I’m out like a light until I get nudged:
“Did I tell you about my meeting today?”
“No, but—”
And he proceeds to tell me every detail of his meeting. When
he finished, I again say how tired I am and am going to sleep, and again, after
a bit I get nudged awake:
“I was talking to Ellen today …”
And he gives me a word-by-word replay of their conversation
until I realize it’s now midnight and I say:
“Please, can I just get some sleep?”
“Oh sorry, night sweetie.”
And then I hear:
“How would you like to have dinner with some friends on
Saturday night?”
“Can this wait?”
“Well, I mean, we didn’t get a chance to have dinner for my
birthday last week and I was—”
“I guess the dinner and drinks and desert we had at Masa last
Tuesday night ON YOUR BIRTHDAY don’t count?”
“Oh, I forgot.”
The worst part of this story is that we both had the day off
and he’d had all day to tell me his stories but waited until I’m asleep. But
hen, maybe he thought it would be the only time I had my yap closed? |
Nancy Pelosi's still sharp.
ReplyDeleteSmiles this morning.
ReplyDeleteI'm betting Ben's choice was B. And I think that empty arena for the Turning Point failure is that the movement itself is nothing with out Chuck. I think I'll pass on Elliot.
ReplyDeleteOpus Dei has forced it's way into politics. John Eastwood, recently disbarred from working as a lawyer, was one of theirs. The organisation was heavily implicated in the overturning of Roe v Wade and they got John Roberts, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas onto the Supreme Court. They were also involved in whitewashing Bret Kavanagh so please don't be fooled by people who say religion should be kept out of politics.
ReplyDeleteYes, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteNancy Pelosi -- she's still got it!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, Carlos' talking. My wife does that whenever I try to read. If I put the book down, she stops. Pick the book up again, and she's suddenly got more things to discuss.
ReplyDeleteBrava, Pelosi!
Wait. What? In Georgia? That happened in GEORGIA? (Bring my smelling salts!)
Carlos found a time to get a word in ... Though I must admit I'm impressed you didn't get cranky.
ReplyDeleteNancy certainly has a quick wit.
Did you hear t had IQ45 pivoted to doctor because Leavitt told him the photo was "doctored"?
Hahahaha
ReplyDeleteOh, Carlos!
And of course I’d let Elliot hit it. Duh.
I love that the grifter widow stood up couch fucker lol. They are all so fucking thirsty!
XOXO

ReplyDelete(Carlos) (Tuxedo always)
xoxo :-)
Yay for Georgia!
ReplyDeleteI have to confess I am the Carlos and you are the Dave in that exchange.
How does one get "scouted" while having their hair cut? A model scout just happens to wander past?
Wasn't there a TV commercial years ago "Getting unentangled from an ex $30 million. For everything else there is Mastercard."

My mind kind of blew a fuse when I got to Eliot Meeten. He's just five years older than my oldest granddaughter! I would not hit it in a monodisciplinary way. I'd tickle him until he smiled, though.
ReplyDeleteI'm having a Tuxedo Day.
That's NON disciplinary.
