uh huh.

with 2 comments

sitting on couch with jay.  we’re really tired. he’s listening to the cardinals game.

i say: “too bad we can’t be early morning people and late night people.”

he says: “uh huh” in that obligatory whatever you say honey tone.  so i’m posting this as a rebuttal to “uh huh”.

do what?

with 3 comments

i happen to despise the expression “do what?”  when it’s applied randomly to contexts that don’t fit.  for example, i say, “i had so much fun in chicago.  i feel rejuvenated”.  the person i’m talking to doesn’t quite hear me & so then replies, “do what?”.  i think it’s like “come again” or “huh?”, only worse because it doesn’t make any sense.  (almost as bad as “well, there ya go”)

in the spirit of “do what?”, let me prove i’m still alive with a list of “what do”:

-we are gearing up for the hanna city hustle, a 5k run on august 29th.  come one, come all!  (p.s. i lack administration skills)

-we took a fantastic trip to chicago.  walked, talked, walked, talked, ate, talked, etc.  the hoagie hut owner shut the place down & gave me a ride when i was incredibly lost.  my mom never reads this blog, but if she did, she would not like this story.

-reading the poisonwood bible at snail’s pace. what’s slower than a snail?
