It's so nice...
Driving to meet Paul last night, my cell phone rang. I could tell from the ring it was Paul.
When I answered he said: "Listen to this!"
It's often difficult to clearly decipher what is being said by the person at the other end of a cell phone connection. Sifting through the garble of background noise in an attempt to isolate a specific sound - particularly when you don't know what it is you're listening for - is darn near impossible. After a few seconds, I realized that the volume of the music wafting over the drone of static and traffic noise had increased. I began to recognize the tune. It was an oldie…one of those one-hit-wonders by a group called Gallery.

Oh, it's so nice to be with you
I love all the things you say and do
And it's so nice to hear you say
You're gonna please me in every way
Honey, I got the notion
You're causin' commotion in my soul
Baby, you and me have got somethin' that's real
I know it's gonna last a lifetime
Aww, you better believe it, girl
At night I call your name
Darkness fills my room, I'm only dreamin'
About the time I'm gonna be with you
Oh, it's so nice to be with you
I love all the things you say and do
And it's so nice to hear you say
You're gonna please me in every way
Honey, I got the notion
You're causin' commotion in my soul

Everybody say: "Aww…"
We're planning a Halloween party. He got a catalog in the mail yesterday and he's already picked out costumes for us to wear. It's one of those couple costumes, two characters who go together. No, not Kermit and Miss Piggy or Sponge Bob and Patrick. Paul is an electrician. We're going to be an electrical cord and outlet. Yes, I recognize the sexual connotation and I'm sure it will NOT be lost on the other party guests. I still think it's cute. And maybe after a couple of drinks, I'll even stop turning bright red at the inevitable jokes and sexual innuendoes!!
Is it Friday yet??

Well, since you're in the print industry, have you considered going as a book and a cover? Or a quill and an ink well? Or you could elope and go as Mom and Dad. Oh, the possibilities...
Thank you for stopping by this morning. My First Wife smiled. She was impressed and said to tell you "Thank you. That's nice."

Paul: Tell your wife that she's very welcome and that I said she looks positively radiant for 39!

awwww! the cord and the outlet is pretty sexual, but at least you're not going as a train and a tunnel.
This comment brought to you by poogceip. With a name like poogceip, you know it has to be good.

You could switch roles and let him be the outlet. I'm sure that would get you a few looks.
11:59 AM
WW - you're getting naughtier! Why not just go as a bee and a flower? Although surely a Haloween costume should be scary?!
12:26 PM
You get the cord outfit, right?
1:32 PM
I will be the outlet, which has the benefit of keeping the plug on what amounts to a 6-foot leash!

Hi. That meme is done--finally.
4:50 PM
to cute for words!
5:44 PM
damn.. so cute i gagged just a little bit..
8:02 PM
SIX....FEET???!!?????
*passes out cold*
;)

Nothing like great song lyrics to fuel that in love feeling!
10:24 PM
I love the costume idea; I've never ben good at coming up with anything creative and new. He sounds like a keeper.
10:36 PM
Awww, those are wonderful song lyrics!
I'd be turning bright red in that kind of costume too. But the "leash" does have its merits...
11:25 PM
Wait, so he's going to be plugged into you the whole time, with just six feet between you? Whoa.
That also means that you'll be symbolically schtupping the whole time you're in costume.
Still, I suppose it's more dignified than being the rear end of a horse costume.

Rock: That's funny!! I don't want to anticipate what we might be doing by the end of the night!! Oops...did I just say that out loud??
