Why my husband and I are a great match

I can’t believe I forgot to write about this already but in some ways it is just another fine example of my unbelievable indifference when my husband gets himself into trouble. So, I get home Friday afternoon and B and Suna’s husband D are sitting on the front steps having a beer as they ponder the usefulness of 3 huge pallets of allan blocks (allen blocks?) that B “got a wicked deal on” that day. As a total aside, isn’t it true that things are only a deal if you actually have a use for them? (as B likes to point out when I say, “look at these shoes…I got them for only $20 which, even if I never wear them, is a great deal!”) Anyway, apparently we are going to have a retaining wall somewhere in the near future so…okay. But back to the trouble. D says, “Tell her how you got arrested today” And I, still absorbed by the confusion surrounding half a driveway full of allan blocks, say, “oh, arrested?” (small letters as opposed to the typical wifely response of “WHAT…YOU GOT ARRESTED?????” B had been so excited at the discovery of the allan blocks and because they were a “great” deal and required a cash payment, he drove over to the gas station, filled up his friend’s truck (because he has also determined that a motorcycle is a perfectly acceptable form of transportation and since his own truck drinks faaaar too much gas, has parked it for the summer), walked inside to use the bank machine to get cash for the blocks and then strolled back outside, got in his friend’s truck and drove away. By the time he picked up the blocks, dropped them off here and then took his friend’s truck back, the police were sitting outside friend’s house waiting for him. Let me just point out that B would not make a good criminal. He was let go rather quickly, as the policewoman (who B also knew through work…hee) said the gas station attendant told them that B went to the bank machine, strolled casually through the store, went outside, checked the back of the truck (probably to make sure there was room for the allan blocks), got in, made a brief phone call and then drove away…all of this leaving plenty of time for them to get the license plate number. So much time, in fact that B might as well have just walked over to the guy and wrote the plate number down for him so he would be able to catch him later. So anyway, they had pretty much already determined that it was a case of forgetfulness rather than an attempt to steal gasoline and everyone had a good laugh about it. My husband…the wannabe thief. LMAO. If I had anything to do with this story, you just know it would involve allan blocks being dropped on somebody (likely myself) or stumbling on my way out the gas station's door leading the attendant to believe that we are not only thieves but drunken thieves.

Hi Hun!
OMG! Your poor hubby! Oh that's too funny tho I wonder if they even got him on "tape"! "The wannabe Thief" LMAO!
My hubby does the "great deals" too, except he never gets anything quite so cool as blocks which I could always find something to make with them. No, he brings home like TONS of paper towels, TP, garbage bags - just like my mom! We have NO ROOM for it anywhere
Ooooo, I bet his back was hurting after unloading all those blocks!

BE GOOD sweetie! And take care
