Stuff IN stuff

Josh and I were discussing, at what point, bananas are perfectly ripe.  I LOVE them when they start to get brown.  I like them a little bit mushy.  He, however, likes them still green.  Gross. 

Anyway, he says, "I can't buy them because once the green is gone, they'll just sit there and rot.  Then we'd put them in the freezer for banana bread that we'll never make." 

I said, "Yea... and by the way, NUTS DO NOT BELONG IN BANANA BREAD!"

He says, "WHAT?!  Are you KIDDING ME?!  That's like saying the butter doesn't belong on sweet corn.  Or that chocolate can't be put into milk.  You're crazy." 

Super Human Powers

In the shower tonight, I flipped around and managed to knock over a full bottle of body wash with only my hair. 

Josh said, "If you get bit by a radioactive spider, your super power will have something to do with your hair.  I'm sorry... that's kind of a lame super power."

I said, "Well, what if it were ALL my body hair and not just the hair on my head?"

He said, "That's just more unfortunate!"

Yard Work

Josh LOVES yard work.  I've done very little of it since we've lived together in a place that requires our labor.  I don't mind it either way, but he's a fan so I've left it to him.

Since we've had such awful weather lately (complete with at least two, multiple day-long heat advisories), and since Josh doesn't work in air conditioning, the yard work has fallen painfully behind.  Seriously, our back yard was near the point that I could lose Roxy back there!

Because it was so overgrown that our mower couldn't possibly take it, I commandeered Dan's weed whacker to at least cut it down to size.  I started and immediately broke a solid sweat.  I HATE humidity, but this felt pretty good.  There's just something about wielding this destructive instrument and wreaking havoc on something. :)

Josh happened to text me during my water break.  I told him I had started weed whacking and was literally dripping sweat into my eyes.  He LOL'd me and says, "Sucks doesn't it?!"  He was all ready to comment on his mad, manly skills in the grass until I said, "No actually, this is kinda fun"

You get to the point, after knowing Josh for a while, that you know some witty, smart ass comment is going to come out of his mouth the moment you say something (or even BEFORE you say it).  Unfortunately, for him, this time I didn't give him the chance.  He was caught off guard and quickly changed the subject.

Grocery Store Rant

Josh and I were discussing how glad we were that we lived on the west side of Ames, which makes going to the west HyVee that much more convenient. 

I said, "Seriously... if we move to the other side of town, I will probably drive across town just to go to the west HyVee.  THAT'S how much I hate the east one."

We proceeded to a lengthy conversation about how much the east HyVee sucks when Josh stops mid-sentence and says,

"LISTEN to the conversation we're having right now."

Gaw we're old.  What person discusses the proper lay out for a grocery store?  Old people.
