My adoring husband called.
Mind you, this is not the easiest feat when you are floating on a boat a million miles away. He has managed to call about once or twice a month during this entire cruise. He's a little higher up the food chain this time around. On our first cruise, I had one drunken phone call, during all seven months, from a port he was stopped in. But that's another story for another day....
This was an unscheduled call, too, which was that much more exciting! What wonderful thing could he not wait to tell me?
ME: Hi!! (gushing with looooove)
HUBBY: Hey. Can you check your email? (like he's in the grocery store or at the gas station. totally ignore the attitude, though)
ME: Sure! Let me get to the computer. (Thinking, ohmygosh! He emailed me a poem or a love letter or a picture proclaiming his love! Oh this is gonna be the best day ever!)
HUBBY: OK. (obviously containing his excitement for the AMAZING thing that he just emailed)
ME: (at the computer) Nope, nothing here. What am I looking for? (practically purring)
HUBBY: Oh, it's a link to my Fantasy Football team. I have to switch some of my guys around...
ME: It's a WHAT?!??!
HUBBY: Well, I kept trying to do it myself out here, but the internet isn't working very well. It is by satellite, you know.
ME: But...I thought.....You suck! I'm totally blogging about this!!!!
HUBBY: What would you do without me?
In case any of you are worried about it, it turns out his line-up changes that he was trying to make had, indeed, gone through. I know, we can all rest SO much easier now!
I'm still holding out for my love letter. I know there's only one measly month left before he's home.
I like to dream the impossible dream.
(And, let's face it ladies, by blogging about it, I'm pressuring him to perform. So leave a lot of "you suck" comments, I think he reads those, too! Sometimes the impossible dream needs a little deception, manipulation, and a LOT of public humiliation!)
