My husband hates clutter on his computer, so while he was out at work I of course decided to cover his entire desktop with dumb speed-paint files whose only purpose was to be amusingly annoying space-wasters. That's what he gets for marrying a cheeky weirdo. Over the next few weeks, I'll be sharing one of these a day so you can be just as exasperated as he was with them. The image description will be in the caption, and the title of each post will be the original file name I saved the image under ("Clutter," "Mess," "Not Your File," etc.). I'm pretty sure this bizarre note evolved from a combination of:
- my obsessive singing of "There Are No Bananas in the Sky" - my near-constant dessert cravings - ruminating on the idiom "pie in the sky" If there is a deeper tale to tell, I don't remember it. [image of a crying me saying "Come back! I want to eat you!" as I watch the stoically angelic Pie in Sky rocket into the air, leaving behind a trail of rainbow and light. Text at bottom reads "...but the pie would not return."] Look, new content! This was the Valentine's Day card I drew for the hubby this year. It was drawn on orange cardstock because that's what I had on hand.
He loves my long hair, but somehow it always seems to grapple him during the night. He constantly wakes up with a faceful of it. I think it just wants to love him. I used more plastic bags than usual when packing his lunches this week, and since we try and reuse bags whenever possible, I started labeling them to make life easier.
There was a third bag with a French-inspired doodle, but I forgot to take a picture of it, and the rest of the bags were boring. (Cheeps = chips. We joke around with spelling when it comes to food, to the point that our grocery lists look like they are written in their own dialect.) Recently my husband was promoted to an editor position at work. However, due to the complexity of his company's internal transition process, there ended up being quite a long span of time between when he interviewed for the job, when he was verbally notified of the promotion, when he was given a physical offer letter, and when he finally started in his new role.
To make the wait a bit more bearable, we decided to celebrate each of these milestones with either cake or a dinner out. For the interview, I made him a crudely drawn Mega Man themed "Mega Cake," and for the verbal notification I made him a frosted, candle-bedecked cake with a thematic, tongue-in-cheek note. Both of these cakes used ChaosLife's "wacky cake" recipe, my new favourite go-to chocolate cake batter. |
