03/19/2006: "Choices"
There are seven opened boxes of cereal in the pantry. Seven. This makes me crazy. I could see three, possibly four, but seven? Two months from now I will throw out at least 5 of those half-eaten boxes that have gone stale. Only one of those is my cereal. It will not go stale. The rest belong to my dh. He brings them home. He opens them. He only eats half of them. He leaves them there for perpetuity. If the cupboard gets too full of cereal boxes he leaves them on the counter. The question begs asking: How many choices does he need?
Current cereal choices at chez LaBrecque:
Eggo Maple Syrup Cereal Golden Crisp Resses Puffs Marshmallow Mania Toasted Honey Crunch Captain Crunch Organic Zen Cranberry/Orange That's it! I've had enough...enough I tell you. I can't live this way any more. Tomorrow I'm contacting my attorney. I'm going to narrow his choices to two -- me or all those cereals. I think he'll miss me more than he realizes.

That's because you're a woman with excellent cereal taste. And you know my hounds would only sniff your crotch -- ill-mannered beasties that they are -- well, except for the wee one and that's only because she's not tall enough.

I'd forgotten that about your beasties. (Read--clearly blocked it out!) And thank goodness for short doggies!
Let's have some grits and really salty ham instead!

"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.” -Cindy Chupack, TV writer
