Last night at 9 or so I decided I really needed a grilled cheese sandwich.
Me: I really want a grilled cheese sandwich.
Navy Guy: And this is a hint?
Me: Nope. I can make it myself.
NG, jumping up: Nope, I’ll make it. It will just be better.

[NOTE: I have a slight history of burning grilled cheese sandwiches. Like, All the grilled cheese sandwiches]
Me: HEY! I didn’t burn one, once.
NG: And it was a proud moment for all of us.
Me:
Me: *laughing too hard to punch him*
(he did make a perfectly golden brown grilled cheese sandwich)
Me: Show off.
(this is a generic sandwich pic; I ate mine too fast to take a picture of it)

Me: Oops! I got dressed in these nice clothes and actually put makeup on since we’re venturing out, but I forgot I wanted to put the second coat of paint on my bookcase this morning. Will you do it for me?
Navy Guy: Oh. The “I forgot” excuse. Nice!
Me: Never mind. I’ll do it.
NG: And then you’ll get a migraine from the heat and have to sit all alone in a dark room, and it will be my fault?
Me: Um…
NG: I’ll paint your bookcase, honey.
Me, in the garage: That’s the wrong brush. I used this brush.
NG: *Explains why his brush is better* (he’s right)
Me: Ah, you missed a spot there.
NG: *Gives me The Look*
Me: I’m just supervising!
NG: You’re lucky you’re cute.

So, we went to IKEA yesterday to pick up some things for College Princess’s new apartment, and I found a bench that’s meant to be outdoors but I want to use it for an end-of-the-bed bench. We also found a desk for Princess that she plans to paint or collage or do cool Artsy things to before we take it to Orlando. So Navy Guy and I started to put the desk together first. It started out … weird.
Naturally, I translated IKEA into English (I’m the writer) so Navy Guy (he’s the electrical engineer) could start building.
