I do sometimes make fun of my husband in this blog. But I try to keep it a little bit balanced, like when I told about how I leave my keys in the fridge.... intentionally. Since I figure I am a bit overdue for some self-ridicule, I thought to share this story.
The other day, I stopped by the house on my lunch break. Since I work about 5 minutes from where I live, this is easily accomplished within my allotted lunch break. I made myself a sandwich, then sat down on the couch to enjoy my lunch. I had my phone nearby so that I could be available for any important work phone calls or emails. After some time, I had finished my lunch and went to gather up my things and leave.
I couldn't find my phone.
The logical conclusion was that it had fallen between the couch cushions. I tore the couch apart (twice), searched the entire house, tried retracing my steps - all to no avail. Since I had no spare phone with which I could call myself, I finally gave up with the thought that I would look for it later that evening when I was off work.
I got off work, and went in to the kitchen to pour myself a glass of water. After I was done drinking, I walked over to the dishwasher to put load the dirty glass.
I opened the dishwasher. And there was my phone.
Yes, it's true. In a moment of absentmindedness, apparently, I put my phone away in the dishwasher. My. phone. was. in. the. dishwasher.
*EDIT*
As I sit here writing this post, my husband is looking over my shoulder. "What is that you're typing?" he asks. "All that < ahref > stuff? What's with all the a's?"
"It's just html code. For inserting links and stuff."
"Ohhhhh.... YOU'RE A NERD!"
"You take that back! I was going to write a nice blog post where I didn't make fun of you but now you ruined it!"
"I don't care," he said, "you make fun of me anyway."
"Well," I exclaimed, "it's just basic computer stuff!"
"NERDY NERDY NERDY!" and then, mimicking me in an unflattering manner, "It's just basic html code... It's just basic NERDINESS."
So, just for that, I am going to make fun of him in the very next post. And that's a promise.

The dishwasher, huh? Very impressive! I tend to lose my phone quite often...I'll tear the house apart, wander around in a panic, scream at my husband when he suggests that I look in my car...and then I find my phone sitting in my car.
Haha... sounds fair to me! :)
