Wednesday, November 23, 2005Matthew McConaughey and Brussels SproutsSo Eric and I were early birds this morning, and went to Publix to do our Big Thanksgiving Feast Shopping. (I'd say that we had fun, but that would only serve to convince you that we have absolutely no real life.) We made it to the check-out line, where Eric graciously allowed me to empty the cart while he perused the latest issue of People magazine. You've probably seen it already -- it's got Matthew McConaughey on the front cover as "Sexiest Man of the Year." I have no argument with that. However, my dear husband, for some reason, decided to obsess about Mr. McConaughey's age -- ad nauseum. "I can't believe he's only 36." "Yes, I knew he was younger than me." (Not that that ever bothered me -- he's gorgeous no matter what year he was born in.) "I really thought he was in -- like, his 40's. I can't believe he's only 36!" I was trying to be polite to the check-out lady. I was trying to do a last-minute mental check of my grocery list. I didn't care too much about Matthew's age, real or perceived. I didn't answer. I can't even tell you how long Eric prattled on about this. Finally, exasperated, he said, "You're being completely non-responsive!" I looked at him and, in full hearing of the check-out lady, said, "That's because this conversation is boring." The check-out lady laughed. Eric did not. Ah, but he'll be happy when he gets home. The pumpkin pies are already in the oven. The fresh hens are waiting in the refrigerator. The broccoli salad will be done. And yes, we're having Brussels Sprouts -- with sauted onions and freshly grated Parmesan. It's the only way to eat them. Unless, of course, eating them with Matthew McConaughey were an option. Oh! And the Seuss entries have begun to arrive in my inbox! I'm excited and having a blast reading them. Don't procrastinate -- work on your masterpiece over the Thanksgiving holiday! And thanks to the subtlety of CheezWeezil, it's come to my attention that I didn't include a Time Zone with the contest deadline. So here it is: The deadline for entry is Friday, December 2, at 11:59 pm Central Standard Time. Have a WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING! |
