- The thunderstorms are long, frequent, and heavy on the lightning.
- If you ride your bike at night, you'll get hit in the face with a wall of mosquitoes.
- Basements? Terrifying.
- Minnesotans apparently did not learn the art of merging in drivers' ed.
- Your local hardware store chain (Menard's) and your iPhone will not get along. (context: this conversation was about buying a new fan)
...Y was home by 3 and we spent the afternoon playing croquet and badminton in our friends' backyard. I hear every day is equally as relaxing.
And then for the main event, over bratwurst and beers we listened to a story about a foreskin procedure. Complete with a demonstration using a bottle and a coozie for all of the non medical people out there (me).
This is my life. Coozie foreskins and all.
It's not too bad.
A typical conversation in our house:
Me: LOOK! A BUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*silence*
Y: You are almost thirty.
I heard this quote at my brother-in-law and his girlfriend's graduation, and I haven't been able to get it out of my head. I would argue, however, that the fumes of hardwood floor stain and paint in varying shades of grey are even more intoxicating. So intoxicating that I've started seeing things; in my hallucinations Targets are backwards, TJ Maxx carries runway brands, and everyone sounds like Sarah Palin.
Since I don't believe in blogging under the influence, I hope you understand my little hiatus. I'm slowly figuring out a routine, and I'll be back here sharing my adventures as a resident's wife (and a lost Southerner in the midwest) as soon as I do.
