Auction Ends Monday at 3:30pm

Real life conversation from the Farklepants marital bedroom:

Upon noticing the unmade bed...
Mr. Farklepants: You didn't make the bed today.
Tootsie: I don't know why you keep me around, really.
Mr. Farklepants: I'm just waiting for the bidding to end on eBay.
Tootsie: Is your description of me accurate?
Mr. Farklepants: Yes.
Tootsie: Tall, blonde who occasionally shaves her legs and sometimes makes the bed?
Mr. Farklepants: Too honest?
Tootsie: It could explain the lack of takers.

It sounds like a better eBay description than Stephanie might write about me. Well, I guess it would depend on 'when' she put me up for auction. Some weeks I am a price, others, just the toad.

I bet if you tossed in the picture of you post-parachute, you could get that bid higher. Just make sure the bidding does not end on a holiday....

Now, I'm just wondering why your response wasn't, "Huh? Make it your DAMN SELF!"??? But that's just me... ;-)

I didn't know you could put your family up on the auction block! Because, trust me, there are days I'd like to sell the kids off.

Just kiddin. Sort of. :)

And bed making is one of my OCD weirdnesses. If it happens to go unmade all day (which I can count on one hand in 15 years of marriage) I make my husband get out of bed, I make it, and then we crawl back in.

Okay:
1st: "Farklepants Marital Bedroom" just sounds...wrong. But I'm sure it's lovely. That, too, just sounds wrong.
2nd: I don't REMEMBER the last time I made the bed. Really.

At least you occasionally shave your legs. In the winter, I don't think there's an adverb that properly describes my pathetic lack of attention...

That's awesome--witty banter is so critical in True Love!

Bidding starts at what? And if I pick up locally, can he waive the shipping?

He's a lucky, lucky man.

GAH! I'd hate to see MY eBay description.

By the way, I'd totally buy you. :)

He must not know that hot mommy bloggers are very desirable...whether they make beds or not.

Jennifer S said...

Or mrs. g., whether or not they wash their underwear.

At my house, Mr. H is captain of the bed-making when he's home. The leg-shaving tends to pick up a bit when he's home, too. Please don't ask him to confirm this.

I'm with Mrs. G. Definitely hot mommy bloggers are coveted.

I told my husband that since he is keeping all the X chromosome sperm to himself, that I bought a Romanian baby girl on eBay and she should be arriving soon in a FedEx box with air-holes...

Also, I never make the bed...I just straighten it up when we climb in each night. And the other week I went so long without shaving that I found that I don't need to pass the razor over the top portions of my calves...absolutely no hair grows there! who knew?

Tall. Blonde. I think you'd have many takers.
