Bonus Note #30

Speaking of playing hide and seek... I bought this Grumpy Cat for my husband several Easters ago as part of a scavenger hunt to cheer him up. Since then this plush has also been hidden around the house in a myriad of locations. My favorite was when I hid him in the kitchen cupboard, and my husband, in his half-awake stupor, opened the cabinet door, grabbed out a cereal bowl, closed the cabinet door, stopped, opened back up the cabinet door, and *then* burst out laughing as it finally registered.

Here he is "hidden" among the tabletop RPG books, plotting evil things to befall our characters.

"Did we beat the DC?" "No." "Did we make our save?" "No." "Did we find any treasure?" "No."
My husband also had to go on business trips with his last job, so if his carry on bag was big enough, I would sneak Grumpy Cat inside as a stowaway. On this particular trip he was only taking a change of clothes in a messenger bag, so I took a photograph of Grumpy Cat attempting to fit inside, printed out the photo on computer paper, wrote "Wish we could go with you! Love, Wiffy and Grumpy Cat ::heart::" at the bottom, hid the printout in his bag in the folder with his travel documents, and clipped a "Secret Note inside, open with care. ::heart::" post-it to the outside of the folder.

If I fits, I sits.
Not so secret anymore, is it?

Day 382: Husband draws #7

Last month I was joking with him about liking spoopy Halloween things more than scary Halloween things, and the conversation somehow ended with me imitating wiggle-dancing ghost pumpkins.

I came home from choir practice to find this rather shocked looking ghost pumpkin sitting in my computer chair.

Alas though the pumpkin now really has shuffled off this mortal coil because we ate it, the paper face has taken on a life of its own these last few weeks. It started with me sticking it to the giant manta ray plush that lives on our bed, then we both started moving it around the house and hiding it for each other to find - on the milk jug in the fridge, in my t-shirt drawer, on his computer tower, in the dish cupboard, on the hallway mirror at face level, hidden behind the cereal boxes, inside my husband's lunchbox, floating behind his starship collection, incorporated into the wall art in the living room, etc.  I'm not sure we can top where it is right now, so I think it will live there for the foreseeable future (followup pic to come on day 401).

Is the towel to protect my butt from the pumpkin, or to protect the pumpkin from my butt?

In response to my practice of constantly photoshopping dumb things into his computer backgrounds, he decided to turn the tables and mess with my background image while I wasn't looking.

Husband has added a chocolate cake in the center, and a heart floating over her head, so it looks like she is gazing with longing at the dessert, instead of just pensively looking off in the distance as in the original]

Several months back I splurged and treated myself to a round of gourmet foodstuffs from nuts.com, including bubble tea mix, raw peanuts for boiling, and a huge bag of lemon snaps.

Because I have absolutely zero self control and was demolishing the snaps at an alarming rate, I asked my husband to cut me off. Even if I begged. Even if I pleaded. Even if I said "I'm an adult and I can do what I want!"

This was his solution...

[note taped to the bag of snaps that says "NO." in huge letters, accompanied by a chibi drawing of himself standing between two of the nuts.com avatars. They all look appropriately grumpy]

It worked. I laughed, but it worked.

It just so happens to be our 7th anniversary today. For this illustrious occasion, I present this romantic orange juice container...

No, seriously. The side of the orange juice carton had a fill-in-the-blank section titled "Grab a marker and tell a parent they're #doingood." He proceeded to cross out the word "parent" and replace it with "wife," then filled in the blanks as follows:
"Dear Shannon,
you are the best Wiffy ever!
You have taught me to be a cat.
I am so purroud to have you in my life.
You're #doingood
Love, Meow"
Juice carton with the following text
::swoon::
Bonus! Here is an anniversary note from a few years back that never got posted.

[photograph of me bundled up in the scarf he hates, yet is still romantic because I bought it the weekend he proposed. It is ringed by the text "Happy Anniversary! I love you, my dearest Hoosbandito. You are my best friend, my passion, my comfort, my dream, my support, my joy, my stimulation, my muse, my wisdom, my ::heart emoji::"]

I know it makes me look like I'm wearing a slightly-shredded Muppet ruff, but I still like it :P

This will always be the best note he has ever left for me.
If you don't understand it, watch this.

And now for something completely different! This week I will be showcasing some of the notes and silly things my husband has left for me!

[ink doodle of a beardy face with big lips saying "mwah!," with text "I tried to draw a beardy kissy-face. This is why I don't draw doodles."]

Day 376: Scary bad

Isn't this note horrifyingly bad? Doesn't the substancelessness just run shivers up your spine? It is hollow as a ghost, a brain-scorching void of endless vapidity and stock tropes. Boooooo on it.

The heart-shaped wall is but false security. The meows surround you. Calling. Beckoning.
