An open letter to my husband.
Dear Gary,
Hi. How are things there in the bathroom? Good to hear.
You know, sometimes when a man can’t meet a woman’s needs, the woman needs to take matters into her own hands and just take care of herself. Let’s say a man has lived with a woman for 25 years and still doesn’t know that she hates cream-filled chocolate. And then offers it to her and says, “I know I should have picked out a selection just for you but this was already made up.” AND then refrigerates the bonus chocolate-covered strawberries because HE likes them cold.
But that’s okay, because I know how to take care of myself.
Oh, yes, that is a double ribbon the Bissinger’s ladies gave me because they were so moved by my story of the husband who still hasn’t set up the stereo system. One (with a boyfriend who didn’t clean yard waste off the driveway for 18 months) said I should follow my plan and eat it all by myself, yet still parse out one raspberry – flavored dark chocolate “bear claw” for you, for when you finish the stereo system.
See it down there in the bottom left? Doesn’t it look good? You know I won’t eat yours, but I’ll eat at least one a day of the rest until the stereo is set up. You know you will never find this hidden box. (No, I didn’t hide it in the stereo system.)

I’m glad you slipped in that ‘at least’ ahead of the ‘one a day’ because, my goodness, I see you as a formidable character, but it would take superhuman strength of will to limit yourself to just one of those so especially fabulous-looking chocolates.
I couldn’t promise to leave him even one.
Big Dot – I’ve only had two nut clusters and a toffee. I’ve made it hard to get to.
Ellen, off topic but … I hope you’re online right now. I’m watching a rerun of tonight’s late-night Olympics coverage. BNL closes out the show!
What was Ed wearing? I have to know!
You know, I never thought of resorting to bribery. I’m so dumb.
Vince Gotera-Yes, the drummer for BNL is entertainment coordinator for the Canada team Hockey House, and the lead helped run the torch. The message boards complained bitterly there was not MORE coverage. Tami – Looks like black: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26184891/vp/35419820#35419820Hattie – Me too. I never would have thought of it, but the Bissinger’s lady suggested it.
