01/13/2006: "What Was I Thinking?"

How do I let myself get talked into these things? What was I thinking?

The Monster Truck Show is going to be at the Georgia Dome tomorrow night. The Girl and her dad were positively rabid to go. Me? How much interest do I have in the Monster Truck Show which my husband billed as the "every redneck from three states will be there" event? Uh...none. Zippo. Zilch. Nada.

I don't like crowds. You will never find me at a Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. It makes me queasy just to think about it. Anyway, you've got crowds. Big trucks = big noise. So, we've got crowds, big noise, and big trucks destroying things. I opted not to go. And they wouldn't leave me alone. They assured me I'd have fun. You know where this is going...I said YES, BUY ME A TICKET. I did, however, tell my husband that, in return, he would have to go to an event of my choosing.

Now, the time is nearly upon me. I could be working on my overdue book tomorrow night. I could have taken a break and gone to Barnes & Noble. I could've gone to a movie alone. Heck, I could've slapped a blob of paint on the wall and watched it dry and pretended a Zen moment. Instead I'll be at the Dome with the monster trucks, me and all the other tri-state rednecks.

You know, I think my husband's really going to enjoy it when we go to see the Andrew Wyeth exhibit at the High Museum.

"Some men admit they avoid confrontation (about breaking up) because they’re afraid we’ll cry. Of course we’ll cry; we cry at Hallmark commercials. What they don’t understand is that we’re not crying because of them, we’re crying because now we have to get naked in front of someone else.”
