I took off work early today (2:00, and I was the second-to-last person to leave...I love how the day before a holiday is becoming a holiday.) I stopped at the drugstore on my way home and picked up some de-stressing stuff: magazines (Outside, Cooking Light, and Scientific American), bubble bath, a pedicure kit, stuff like that. Once home I called Victor to give him a rat update (the injured boys are improving) and he asked what I had planned for the afternoon.
"I'm going to take a bath," I said.
"Are you going to the gym?" he asked.
"No, I'm gong to take a bath."
"Are you going to walk?"
"No," I said. "I'm going to take a bath."
(I also painted my toenails sparkly blue. We had a 1979 Plymouth Horizon the same color...)

Posted by: nic at July 3, 2004 08:53 PMYou didn't say you were going to take a bath when I asked you if you were going to the gym! You just answered, "No." I'm not that thick-headed.
*pout*
OK, maybe I am.
