Somebody please drag me by the ear into my kitchen.

[crim son]

I promised my STBE husband baklava for his birthday and I DON'T WANT TO MAKE IT! :cry: That, and meatballs w/mashed potatoes for dinner. He wasn't even around for my birthday... I am too frickin' nice.

[miss_american_pie]

1. Damn woman

You are too nice. :hi:

[crim son]

2. I am!

And really, really compassionate too! :P

Hi Ms. Pie!!!

[Rising Phoenix]

3. dragging you by the ear....

OUCH....go cook....its only once a year....and then you won't have to cook for another 365 days....

[crim son]

5. OUCH i s right. Okay, okay.

Grrrr... I'm going.....

[crim son]

18. The deed is done. It's in the oven

and the only thing left to do is take it out and pour the honey syrup over it. I deserve a prize. :)

[Rising Phoenix]

19. you get....

:hug:

[Deja Q]

4. You are way too nice indeed.

Let him eat cake. Somebody else's. You've got better things to do. :hug:

[crim son]

7. Hiya Hypno :)

I'm doing my best to keep things civil, and it has worked v. well thus far. Yet I do balk at the celebration thing. I'm going to think of it as "for the kids." Oh, and "from" the kids I bought him a fake-fur steering wheel cover. He's gonna hate it! :evilgrin:

[Placebo]

6. A woman's place is in the kitchen.

How could you not want to cook a special meal for your special man?

Get in there!

[crim son]

8. My man and I are divorcing.

STBE = soon-to-be-ex. Maybe not that soon, but the process is underway. I still like him though.

[Placebo]

11. Well it's good you can end on amicable terms.

Even that is hard to do these days!

[crim son]

13. It is hard.

But so important when you have children.

[Deja Q]

9. No no no no no! A woman's place is NOT in the kitchen!

It's in the bedroom, being treated very nicely by the man who's about to impregnate her. :scared:

I'm so glad it's not 1946 anymore...

Almost. Middle class folks had more of a future back then...

[crim son]

10. The Scared smiley made me laugh.

There are worse things. Been there, done that.

[Placebo]

12. Why should he treat her nicely?

Women aren't supposed to have pleasure or anything. They're just supposed to lay there and take their special man's super baby juice.

[crim son]

14. Oh for crying out loud.

I've gotta go cook. "Baby juice." Ummmm, yuck.

[Deja Q]

16. Quite. Acidic juices are said to be more flavorsome than basic ones...

:spray:

[Deja Q]

15. Daintily put.

"Super baby juice" :rofl:

Mind you, from what I've been reading, if she likes it, he'll like it more... still, what am I reading...?

But I can see it in the market now: "Gerber brand super baby juice! Now with twice as much protein yet half the calories! Build up that super army right! With Gerber!"

[Placebo]

17. "Some Assembly Required"

:hide:

[Critters2]

20. That's why God made bakeries and restaurants

Greek ones--the best!

[crim son]

23. Oh no.

This is how he is: if I make burritos, I can't make them with purchased tortillas because "the homemade ones are so much better." He won't eat a cake made from a box but I must make the darned thing from scratch A-Z. Man, he's going to miss me, isn't he? Poor fellow.

[Critters2]

24. Wasn't he married to Julia Roberts in some movie?

Your STBE husband, huh? I'm trying to feel good for you, but...

[crim son]

29. And his inclination to be that man is why I'm leaving.

He's making huge changes in his way of being, but it's too late for us. I don't love him with everything I've got. Just enough to bake on a quiet Sunday afternoon...

[Critters2]

25. Just re-read the OP

Soon to be EX! Oh, now I feel better.

[crim son]

28. Yeah, that's w hat makes me so wonderful

in this case. hehe.

[RetroLounge]

21. Make him do the dishes...

RL

[crim son]

22. On his birthday?!

That'd just be mean Hmmm.

[Deja Q]

27. That's GROSS.

And doing the tea cups might be a better fit for him...

:yoiks:

[crim son]

31. LOL. I don't know if I mentioned

that he did two loads of laundry last week. That'd be load three and four of our seventeen years together. Oh, and you need to know that he gets FOUR months off each summer, during which vacation he is alarmingly unhelpful (but always "working" and making sure you know it.} Okay, I'll stop being mean. He's looking sad lately and that is probably why I'm going through the birthday celebration thing.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. My dear crim son.......

Now, remember......what goes around, comes around.....

You are sowing the seeds for some very good karma for you......

Wish I could help you more, sweetie.......:hug:


I am going to PM you shortly......

[crim son]

32. Thanks CalPeg.

I'd like to see that good karma kick in, in the relationship sense. But I've got a lot to do while waiting, so I won't whine too much about it.

[Haole Girl]

30. Wow!

You ARE nice!! :loveya:

[crim son]

34. OH MY GOD I BURNT THE MEATBALLS.

shit and he's home.

Oh well, the baklava turned out great :rofl:

[trof]

33. Get out in that kitchen and rattle them pots an' pans.

An' get my dinner, 'cause I'm a hungry man.

To coin a phrase.
So to speak.
;-)

[crim son]

35. Well, I'm taking him out. Dinner is black.

Damnit. But now I do believe in karma!
