Me: *talking to myself* Stamp..
Husband: Did you say something? Are you talking to me?
Me: No, I'm talking to myself.
Husband: Oh, you do that a lot.
Me: At least when I talk to myself I know someone is paying attention.
Husband: *laughs*
Tuesday, January 27th
Me: I made the appointments at the eye doctor. Is tomorrow soon enough for you?
Husband: Tomorrow is fine. *long pause* What day is today?
Me: Today is Tuesday, tomorrow is Wednesday.
Husband: For some reason it feels like a weekend day. When you said the appointment is tomorrow I thought it was odd that they would be open on a Sunday.
Me: Every day feels like a weekend day...
Husband: You're right, it does - we must be getting old.
Me: No, we need to get out more!

Saturday, January 17th
Me: Here's something to put on your to-do list - you might want to go down and check for mail.
Husband: I think I can manage that.
Me: Not right now - later.
Husband: Want to make sure the mails been delivered?
Me: It probably has - just that you don't have to do it now, later is fine, whenever you want.
Husband: Later works for me!
Me: It usually does...

Me: Come and look at this (holding open the door to the kitchen cabinet that contains our canned goods and stuff like that)
Husband: What is that? The catsup we just bought?
Me: No, look again. I swear I have never seen this before.
Husband: You mean we had a bottle of Trader Joe catsup all this time? Don't blame me about not noticing it, I never go in that cabinet.
Me: It was not here before. We've gone 3 weeks without catsup 'cause Trader Joe's was out the last time we were there. Today we buy some junky catsup and bingo - the good catsup shows up. Right there - front and center. It's the cat food thing all over again, in reverse.
Husband: (dead serious) There is something weird going on in this place and I don't like it.

(I'm passing through the living room, husband is watching a football game)
Me: Who are the guys in white?
Husband: The Colts
Me: So you got horses playing horses.
Husband: Sort of, that's a horseshoe on their helmets..
Me: No, no. One team is the Broncos, the other team is the Colts. Those are both horses. So horses playing horses...
Husband: Oh, I see what you mean, okay yeah, I guess so.
Me: *eye roll*

(Husband comes into the living room, having just gotten up from his post-lunch nap, and settles into his recliner with a book.)
Me: Napping in your recliner instead of the bed?
Husband: Maybe. Maybe I'll read. Maybe I'll just rest my eyes.
Husband: It just feels right.
Me: And the snoring will begin in 10...9...8 (and it did!)

Wednesday, December 31st
Husband: New Year's eve - 2015 already.
Me: Yup, April is our 25th wedding anniversary.
Husband: (truly surprised) Really? 25 years? It doesn't feel that long.
Me: Yup, we got married in April 1990.
Husband: We are old! Are we doing anything?
Me: Not unless you have something planned. I think we both deserve medals.
Husband: You deserve one more than me.
Me: No, honey You deserve one more than me. I get on my own nerves so I can just imagine the effect I have on other people!
