Where's Robbo?

Contrary to what you may suspect, I have not been sitting staring at our Melissa banner all day, eyes the size of soup plates, tongue hanging south of my Adam's apple and a veritable Lake Michigan of drool collecting in my lap.

Instead, I've been industriously engaged on yet another round of painting for She Who Must Be Obeyed the woman I really love. If you're interested, I finished touching up the Missus' study and the dining room and put everything (pictures, furniture, etc.) back where it is supposed to be. I also got around to finishing off the French doors into our little dressing hall and only have to scrape the excess paint off the glass once it dries and vacuum it up.

After this, I think I've built up enough cred that I can take a break for a while before I have to start in on the next set of projects the Missus has in mind. My only concern is that if I don't get the weekly paint fume fix I've become used to lately, I might have some serious withdrawal reaction.

There's only one problem with this post - it's gotta be fiction. Either that, or you're actually a woman. Your fatal mistake was saying that you "put everything (pictures, furniture, etc.) back where it is supposed to be."

Seriously. No man ever actually does that.

Hmm. He should give husband-only classes on returning items from whence they came. My guess - he could make a fortune. :)

They do put things back -- subject to their limited ability to be able to discern where "back" is. Back usually means on the coffee table, in the couch cusions, behind the beer in the fridge.....

You guys need a new banner if your are so distracted you have that you have to post about not being distracted.

As a new wife, I am seeing that I have much to learn about my new husband. Great.

Dang, clicked submit too early. I wanted to add: They are trainable, right?

Just keep repeating the familiar "Star Trek" line: Resistance is Futile...Resistance is Futile...
