Overheard
Overheard at the dinner table this weekend…
Sweets burped. Loudly. And half-apologized.
I giggled, knowing he’s becoming all too comfortable with himself.
Later, Sweets let a fart rip.
And I broke out into laughter.
Sweets’ dad asked what was so funny.
I said, “I never knew I was going to get such a symphony of sounds when I married him.”
Which, after a table of giggles and comments, turned into, “Folks, my husband toots in five languages.”
Last night, when I tried to go to bed, I broke out into giggles. Uncontrollable giggles. It was that kind of night.
**************
Other than listening to the release of bodily gasses, my weekend consisted of candlelight Bikram, an 8-mile run, my first attempt at cooking meatloaf, hosting a Stovetop Buffet (a potluck gathering with very near and dear friends) and shopping for tiles for a back splash in the kitchen and for around the fireplace in the living room (we got some great ideas, but made no purchases). How were your collective weekends? Hope they were lovely.

Sounds like a wonderful weekend. I love when people get the silly giggles and they just stick with you.

We found a bathroom vanity for $200 this weekend. We were shopping, checking some prices, and I noticed one sitting in the middle of the aisle, out of the box. It was missing drawer knobs, and had a slight crack in the back of it, but for that price, we couldn’t pass it up!

I feel your pain, the Hubs has a whole medley of his greatest hits.
The weekend was nice, we headed up to the apple festival and yesterday did the cleaning and the relaxing. The next two weekends are going to be busy so we relished the quietness of this past weekend.

But isn’t that the music of lurv? ;)
I kid. I kid.

Ha, my husband’s the same way, and he’s proud of it! Sounds like a wonderful weekend. :)

Ha, sounds like a fun weekend. My weekend was wonderful (spent time outside, had a great time with my out of town best friend, and caught up with a friend from high school I hadn’t seen in years).

Silly giggles are wonderful, but just you wait until Sweets gets up every morning and come out into the living room where you are happily drinking your first cup of coffee and purposefully and intentionally farts in the very spot where you usually sit on the sofa.
Daily.

Candlelight Bikram??? I want to hear more about THAT!
October 5th, 2009 at 9:20 am
The word “toot,” always makes me laugh. Irish uses it but it seems to be such a delicate word for a man to use, you know? Did you know that they make special underwear AND sheets that have a charcoal filter or something so that the fart smell doesn’t seep out? I joked to Irish I’d buy them for him because sometimes he can be quite the gas-y person.
I want to hear more about the meatloaf! I haven’t had it in forever but it sounds divine!
October 5th, 2009 at 10:59 am
Ha ha, we made lots of fart jokes this weekend too. :)

hubs has been letting gas out since we were together maybe 2 mos? so almost 11 years of hearing that madness. i’m so done with it LOL
October 5th, 2009 at 11:21 am
mmm … meatloaf. I love meatloaf :)
October 5th, 2009 at 11:37 am
I still want to try a Bikram class with you! We have three whole weeks off before our next wedding, so maybe sometime this week or next?

You and Sweets would get along so well with my girls right now. Toots and burps send them into uncontrollable fits of laughter.
+++++++ (I feel like this little line is necessary when changing the subject from toots to meatloaf.)
This weekend my mom made meatloaf for me and my sisters. It has been YEARS since I’ve had meatloaf. Yum.

Ha ha! My sister, bro-in-law and 10 month old niece came over for dinner last night. Ellie (my niece) burped and Tim said, “Way to go, Ellie, just like your Aunt B!” So embarrassing!?!?!?
We enjoyed a beautiful hike at a state park about 30 minutes north of our house along a beautiful fall. It was awesome!

See for me, it’s my sister-in-law’s bum that likes to get all the attention at the dinner table, not so much my husband’s.
He’s like a girl in so many ways…

The Hubs farts most in the morning and before going to sleep. Of course these are both times when I happen to be under the same covers as him. Dutch Oven, as he calls it, has become a new alarm clock for me ;(
This weekend my Fart Machine and I made 3 different kids of display holders for my jewelry for the upcoming show (he did a GREAT job and I will be blogging about it soon!), in addition to making all sorts of jewelry and a Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday (we wanted Tofurkey, green bean casserole, potatoes, and cranberry sauce – who says we have to wait until November?). I also sold a particular green necklace to a particularly favorite customer of mine and am going to make her some matching earrings for it ;) Can’t wait!

Um, so, I don’t think I could do all the things you did this weekend in a WEEK. You are crazy!
Just let me know when you have free time for a doggie playdate – I can’t remember what your last msg said. I am pretty open for the next few weeks :)

I don’t care how educated I ever get, burp and fart jokes will *always* be funny.
My weekend included 2 liters of beer at a local Oktoberfest. A good time was had by all. At least as far as I can remember…

I’m just waiting to see what my little dude has in store for me int he form of bodily functions. I’m thinking it won’t be as cute as it is now in a few years. Ah ha
October 5th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
My weekend was great as well! I like a LOT of off-color humor, but farts/burps/bodily function jokes do not work for me…but give me a good, “That’s what she said” and I am rolling.
October 5th, 2009 at 8:42 pm
Wow candlelight yoga, that sounds really amazing. Where do you go?
October 5th, 2009 at 10:43 pm
I think when we start letting it rip in front of significant others without too much concern, that’s when we are truly comfortable with them and are being ourselves. It does bring the giggles out though, for sure : )

It’s always nice when you get to that part of the relationship where you can laugh about farting. I always consider it a very important step in a relationship. :) sounds like a nice weekend
