A little guilt trip and a cute puppy

Last night, Hubby and I were chilling out in the living room and I suggested that we don't turn on the TV at all that night. My reasoning was to spend some time together instead of zoning out to Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader or some other crappy show, but we ended up doing our own thing anyway. He surfed iTunes and Facebook, and I entertained myself with a parenting magazine, while shooting annoyed glances at him.

At around 9:30, he said, why don't you come over here and sit with me on the couch? I said fine and I sat next to him. He had a couple of beers in him, so he thought he'd be funny and try to tickle me after I made some smart remark about his college. He said something like, oh you can poke fun at me and I can't poke fun at you? That's when it all just came flying out my mouth.

"Really? You never poke fun at me?.... How about when you make fun of where I went to college? Or my major? Or that I'm a dork? Or my weight? Or that I can't drive your truck?"

I would have kept going, but the look on his face said he was starting to feel bad about all those little comments. It was kind of like a defining moment for us- I think he really realized how much those stupid comments irritates me! We'll see if any of what happened last night sticks with him.

And now for something completely different... We finally found a groomer that doesn't make Puppy look like a friggin show dog. The place we took him to before never cut the hair on his face or tail, but they would nearly shave his body, so he looked all disproportionate and frou-frou. They also took 8 hours each time... ridiculous. So I decided to try a new place in Kaneohe, and they did a great job. He still looks pretty much the same, just with shorter hair, and now the poor thing can finally see! I swear the other place didn't use shampoo- it smelled like all they did was rub car air fresheners on him. But this place used some nice shampoo, so he actually smells good! Five stars, two thumbs up, I highly recommend them.
