He IS Going to Make Me Get In The River

Lucy_Cat considers whether she's up for a tubing tripAfter yesterday's post went up, I called Blair at work. 

"Anything you want to tell me?" I asked.

"Um... no?" he answered.

"You're sure," I said. "Nothing at all on your mind.... that you'd like to say now... of your own free will...?"

"Where are you going with this?"

"Pull up my blog."

He did and I heard a groan on the other end of the line. 

"Did they come like that?" he asked, the dismay evident in his voice.  "They weren't even wrapped?"

Uh, Honey, Anything You Want To Tell Me...?

Uh HUH. So. I'm sitting at my desk this morning, tap-tap-tapping away on my keyboard when the doorbell rings. Cats go flying under beds and as I walk to the front door I see a man in a brown UPS shirt walking back toward his truck. Yea, a delivery! Deliveries are always such fun. But hmmm.... I don't remember ordering anything as of late. What could it be?

God give me patience. I open the door to find these on the front porch:

Why doesn't he WARN me about these things? The other day I came home to find a 6-foot wrapped pole leaning against the mailbox. Fishing pole? No - bow and arrow set. I don't know whether to be happy he's got a hobby or - frankly - a bit concerned. 

So I don't know what Conan thinks we're going to do with these inner tube things. I'm hoping the word "River" on the box is misleading and maybe he's booked us at some 5-star resort where we'll sip organic pina coladas as our tubes are guided through an air-conditioned tunnel of chlorine-filled, chemically altered crystal blue pool water. I KNOW he doesn't expect me to set foot in the humid, buggy, mud-entrenched Dan River outside our home. Does he? DOES HE??

I swear, if snow shoes or a hang-gliding kit show up at the door, I'm having him evaluated. 

I think it's revenge for all the vegan meals. I SAID I was sorry about the $75 hemp-protein pancakes already... please, honey, let it go.
