I sent Joe off to Wal-Mart the other day to pick up a few things. Later he sent me a picture message on my phone and declared his happiness. My awesome husband has a fondness for straw hats, a fondness in which I do not share. Needless to say he came home a happy man that day with a new straw hat in tow.
As you all know, my husband has a fondness for straw hats. While shopping at Hobby Lobby this weekend he found a woman's straw gardening hat on clearance for $5 and tried to convince me to let him buy it for me. Thanks but no thanks lol. Unfortunately for me he stuck it on my head and told me it needed a, "pimp tilt" and then proceeded to take my picture in it. I tried to give him the evil eye but ended up cracking a smile instead lol.
BTW I do not share my husbands fondness for straw hats and I will not be a member of the straw hat club any time soon.
Me sporting the gardening hat complete with, "pimp tilt".
We all went out this weekend to celebrate birthdays. I think Joe celebrated a little to much lol.
Getting started
Joe's birthday is tomorrow, so I whipped up a little surprise for him when he comes home from work in the wee hours.
Getting to see his wife in a somewhat Hawaiian floral print dress. I couldn't go all Hawaiian print crazy because Joe would have had a field day with that.
Nothing like getting a straw hat with a Hawaiian print band to match your Hawaiian shirts.
One of our very dearest friends is getting married in a few weeks and both Joe and myself are in the wedding. Well we ALL know how Joe adores his Hawaiian shirts. I don't know if he really likes them, or if he just pretends to because he knows they drive me nuts lol.
So we were sitting around one night talking and I made sure to tell him that his Hawaiian shirts are NOT appropriate wedding attire. He asked if after the ceremony he could wear one of his trade mark Hawaiian shirts to the reception. I told him HELL NO, that I wanted to go an entire 24hr stretch without seeing him in a Hawaiian shirt.
I think after I gave him a lecture on what is and is not appropriate wedding attire it finally sank in that he was not going to win this battle.
Well last week I get the wedding invitation and as I read it all I could do was hold my head down, not look at Joe and hand him the invitation. As I walked off I could hear him howling with laughter and I even looked back to see him doing his happy dance that closely resembled the cabbage patch.
Turns out this is going to be a Hawaiian themed wedding and for the guys in the wedding Hawaiian shirts are a must.
This gets even better for Joe because I get to wear a Hawaiian print dress. I quickly texted the bride to be to tell her that if I didn't like her so much I would kick her butt. I told her the whole story and they got a big laugh out of it.
So this weekend my mother and I went dress shopping and I found the perfect dress. Came home and tried it on for Joe and he was excited to see me in something Hawaiian print. So much for my 24hr stretch of not having to see him in a Hawaiian shirt.
These pictures were taken this past weekend at our daughters 2nd birthday party. From what I've been told he TRIED to flip backwards down the inflatable slide.
So my husband had a tooth pulled last week and this is only the second time in his life he's ever taken pain pills. Pain pills + my husband = one goofy, weird guy. For some reason the song, Because I Got High by Afro Man was playing in my head that night lol.
While he was high on pain pills I asked him to try on the hat I had just finished knitting for him.
For some reason he decided to leave that hat on which made for a great a picture.
Let me set the stage for you. We live in Northern Alabama, a place that isn't use to getting much snow. However we had a record setting snowfall of 9 inches on January 11th.
Now my husband has a small truck, not one you would use for driving on snow and ice with but he decided to take a joy ride around the neighborhood to see just how bad the roads really were.
This is how our conversation went:
Me: Where the heck are you going
Idiot Husband: I want to take a drive around the neighborhood and see how the roads are.
Me: Well the roads are pretty bad and I wish you would stay home and off the roads.
Idiot Husband: I'll be fine, quit worrying (he gets in the truck and leaves)
20 minutes later the phone rings.
Me: Where the hell are you
Idiot Husband: I'm helping pull a guy home, because he is stuck in the ice and has a low profile vehicle.
Me: BE CAREFUL
Ten Minutes later the phone rings
Idiot Husband: I'M STUCK
Me: Damnit where are you stuck at?
Idiot Husband: One street over.
Me: Well do what you can.
A few minutes later the phone rings
Idiot Husband: I'm unstuck and on my way home.
Another 15-20 minutes go by and I start to worry
I take a step outside just to see if I can see my husband anywhere and I see
my neighbor heading towards his truck.
I give him a shout out and tell him to keep an eye out for my idiot husband because he got stuck on the next street over earlier.
My neighbor holds up a big chain and says, "that's where I'm headed look down the road".
Low and behold there is my idiot husbands truck stuck sideways 2 houses down in front of our other neighbors house.
By this time I am seriously laughing my ass off and trying not to piss in my pants.
Slowly but surely my neighbor pulls him home and then idiot husband encounters a problem which he didn't anticipate. You see our driveway is on a slight incline and is completely iced over making it nearly impossible to get into our driveway. He tried every way possible to get the truck in the driveway but he kept slipping and sliding all over the place. Our neighbor even got on the bumper and jumped up and down hoping it would provide enough weight to help him make it in the drive way but that to failed.
Then they decided that maybe my neighbor could put his bumper up against my husbands bumper and push him up the driveway, but that too failed.
He finally got it in the driveway just enough that his tuck wasn't sticking out in the road and that's where it stayed until we shoveled the driveway and put cardboard under the tires to get it in the driveway.
The Tow Home
Yes it's been awhile but life has been busy. However that hasn't stopped my husband from his antics and I have many more pictures to upload in the next few days. Here is a teaser for y'all.
