How Husbands Do Things

[him] "Do you know what I'm doing RIGHT now?"

[me] "Do I CARE what you're doing right now?"

[him] "Come on, care, care!"

[me] "Fine, what are you doing, RIGHT now?"

[him] "I'm DIGITIZING our music collection!!!!"

[me] "And so, that would mean what exactly?"

[him] "It'd mean that every CD we've EVER bought will one day, be available to you, on our computer. It'd mean that EVERY song we own, you could potentially put on your iPod and RUN to it!!!"

[me] "Hmmmm... well... yea... that's... that's great. Great. Really."

[him] "What? Say it."

[me] "Well the bitchy wife in me wanted to ask why you have SOOOOO much time to digitize our music collection, yet we have floors that have been unfinished for 2 years..."

[him] "Well I'm glad you at least KNOW which wife it is that thinks those things."

You know what is funny...is my husband has a "bitchy wife" and a "nice wife" too. Glad we aren't the only ones! LOL.

These diatribes are HYSTERICAL!

Bahahahaha!!! I give him mad props for being quick witted.

HA HA HA!!! That is just too funny!

Michelle said...

Hillarious!!! That would be exactly how I would be thinking.

Lori said...

Now he can refinish the floors to the music of his choice.

Did you & I marry the same man? I swear we had that SAME convo a couple of years ago, except instead of floors, it's the unsanded & unpainted bathroom ceiling.

Honestly, sometimes I think you & I are living the same, twisted life. LOL

My Reality said...

Is there enough room on your hard drive to digitize your entire music collection?

That could lead to a kink in his plans.

Emily said...

Oh my gosh, tell me about it! Husband, why the eff are you staering to dig out a new side driveway (which I didn't want or agree to), when the garage you started enclosing is not yet finished... and will probably will sit like that until next summer? grrr.

Carrie said...

My Reality: Unfortunately there is enough space. Future Shop had a sale on terabyte hard drives. He bought it to back up our photos and turned it into our music drive, cuz yea, the music was most important.

Deathstar said...

lol. It's a little like selective hearing, isn't it?

Jen said...

I just love how husbands' priorities don't quite match up with their wives. When confronted with a dirty house, mine finds just about anything else to be a priority over housework.

Samantha said...

My husband is currently doing the same thing! It's been a multi-month project, so glad luck with it!

We've filled external drive #1 and will soon be moving on to #2. More room can always be had!

Lorraine said...

Fancy! My husband still plays LPs, so I have to say I kinda like the idea of having a somebody around to digitize my music... I guess it will have to be me, someday.

theclam said...

We are all made up of the "bitchy" wife and the "cool" wife... Pity for my DH that he's seen more of the "bitchy" one of late...

luna said...

yeah, I get that too. my hub is WAY into his music collection. like he was OBSESSED for a long time. we have a spare closet JUST for music.

I like lori's comment too.

PJ said...

LMAO!!!

A yep! That sounds like my husband. Who... bought two hard drives to "digitize" our CD's, which have been sitting in the study for about two years now.

Oh, and um... the pantry which needed an overhaul after we had a duct put in over a year ago, still sits untouched.

I could go on... :)

But he got me roses yesterday, so... what can I say?
