Conversations With My Husband

[ladysprite]

The Scene: Barnes and Noble's Science Fiction section, as part of a bad-day book-buying binge, with me staring at a paperback novel in frank disbelief.

Him: Whatcha got there?
Me: Apparently, mediocre Laurel K. Hamilton-wannabe urban fantasy.
Him: That good, huh?
Me: Oh, yeah. Any book that feels the need to tell me as part of its back-cover copy that it is dark and sexy is clearly trying to prove something.
Him: It doesn't actually say that, does it?
Me: Yep. Not even as an endorsement quote, just part of the description. "[Title Deleted] is a dark, sexy, adventure-filled novel."
Him: Wow....
Me: That may, in fact, be the stupidest thing I've ever read on a book. What else am I going to mistake it for - a dark, sexy, adventure-filled cannoli?


I am endlessly lucky that I have found this man, because few other people would be able to put up with me and my personal absurdity on a 24/7 basis....

As for Saturday - quite probably. We have some friends coming into town for the Earthfest concert earlier in the day, but my expectation is that we'd be free in the eveningtime.

And my memory is notoriously weak for social schedules, but I don't recall anything about a wedding.

A bunch of my LARP pals are headed off to a wedding. Since you guys LARP more than I do, I assumed you were going.

It'll be lovely to see you. We can see if that breast plate fits you.
