So, apparently, I’ve painted my darling husband in a bad light. I mean, what is so bad about wanting to surf an internet dating site, have your wife provide you with a picture so you can post a profile and have all the crazy skanks toss their online panties at you?
I don’t know what I was thinking when I blogged about this yesterday. Silly me.
I would like to thank all of you who saw my side of this issue and agreed with me. We silly people find strength in numbers.
To the sole person out there who sided with my husband, who also happens to be my Piano man and a supposed best friend, I say to you “Harumph. Let’s just see what happens the next time the fat ugly chick comes up to me in the bar and asks if you are single. We’ll see how well I do as your wingman now, sugar.”
Since I believe in playing fair, and because my husband is coming home soon for the long weekend and I would actually like to have sex with somebody other than my little rabbit buddy, wink, wink, I have decided to let my darling husband have an opportunity to defend himself. On my blog. To my online friends. The same friends the Piano man called “intelects.”
(Snicker. Feel free to tear him a new one at any time.)
I’m (passively agressively) digressing from the point of this post. But because I actually believe my husband and his naive intentions, and because I love him so, I will share my blog with him for the day. I want the world to know how he rocks, and how he is the best man for the job of holding my hand and putting up with my shit. With out any further ado, here is my Boo:
Wow! You do totally know that people we know read this and you just made me look like I’m the anti-christ! You also know that I talk to you about these thing in confidence and total privacy. I had kind of hoped that we could keep this just between you and me, seeing as how all my family and friends read your blog.
(Doesn’t everybody?)
Okay, this is absolutely the untruth and you did twist things. I did ask for your help with a picture to post, but it is not because I am looking for a girl to get some. And you know that. Why would I ever trade for something with lesser quality than what I already have?
Furthermore, have you seen the women up here? They have more facial hair than I do, for the most part. And they could use one of those make over shows to lose the small town farm girl appearance they have going on. It’s one thing to wear shit kickers at the farm, but it is all together a different look when you see it at the grocery store.
Obviously, I am a little worried that all of our discussions will make it out into the blog world and to my family and friends and be laid out there for me to be ridiculed by the entire world. A man likes to make his stupid marital mistakes in private. I realize I was the one who gave you the idea for this post by suggesting this idea in the first place, but I didn’t realize how bad the idea sounded in print.
Okay I went overboard. I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I even thought of, or brought up the whole friend finding thing. That was obviously a mistake and not well thought out or seriously considered on my part.
I promise not to go on any internet dating sites or to look for a coffee buddy beyond the people I work with daily if you would be so kind as not to post my blunders for the world to ridicule. A man’s ego is fragile. There are only so many kicks it can take before shattering completely.
But for the record, I never sat down with the hot asian girl for coffee. I only saw her a hand full of times.
I am sorry, and I love you very much. And for all of you out there, all you have to do is read her words and look at her picture up in the corner to know why I married her and why I would never trade her in.
That and she would kill me.
RNM’s Boo.
There you have it, dear internet. See? He knows where his sugar comes from. And don’t worry, our marriage is safe and sound. And I did promise that in the future, if he blunders this badly again, (because who are we kidding, we all know it’s gonna happen again) I will go a little easier on him. On my blog, that is.
I reserve the right to bitch-slap him back to reality in real life.
And because so many of you asked, here is the picture I WAS going to send to him to use on his profile:
But I changed my mind. I didn’t want people to think I actually let that man climb on top of me. Eww. Besides which, he looks like one of my uncles.
Here is the actual photo I did send him:
I love you Boo.

Yer learnin’, Boo!
Always start every conversation with, “I’m sorry…” and always admit your mistakes, even when she’s the one who messed it all up. And never admit you have a coffee buddy. She’s a woman and doesn’t always realize that men are not that complicated. She wants you to be complicated, but you’re not. You’re a man.

Boo – ya done good boy!!
T, that first guy is a hot sumbitch (as we say in GA)!!
Yer Boo’s kinda cute too…but not like that first guy.
Now, where’d I put my cane and my guide dog?

Wow, Boo is really cute. Not that I didn’t believe you when you said it. But still, sort of an idiot, no? Not that I’m picking on him and only him. All men are idiots in their own right. But we women are bitchy, so it all evens out in the end I guess.
Lawyer Mama
Men can be really clueless sometimes. When does “Honey, I want to sign up for an internet dating service” ever sounds like a good idea? Plus, Boo is a cutie. They’d be all over him.
mamatulip
Boo’s a hottie! Yowza!
Nice save there, Boo. Nice save.
I had a dream last night that Dave was cheating on me with a geisha who didn’t speak English. I think it’s because of your previous post. LOL.

I check the baby into the hospital for one teensy little 23-hour admit, and miss THIS? Because I didn’t get the chance to say so yesterday, THE LAST TIME SOMEONE I WAS MARRIED TO HAD A FEMALE “JUST-FRIEND,” WE GOT DIVORCED. Because while you may feel free to send a committee to strip me of my “This is What a Feminist Looks Like” t-shirt I’m still going to say that married men have no business making female friends who are not half of a couple with whom they and their wife socialize. Period.
That and now that I’m single I’d totally jump Boo’s bones if I was a waitress in a coffee shop on the outskirts of Hell. And any woman under sixty who offers to be his “just-friend” is a lying hussy trying to get her foot in the door.
Boo, if you’re listening, Dr. Phil defines infidelity not as sex, but as anything you wouldn’t do if your wife was right there next to you. And in your case I think you should tack on “with a laptop relaying it to her readership.”

Congrats on your new digs! I hope you love WordPress as much as I do.
And you look at ya’lls pictures —— Mr. and Mrs. Youngandgorgeous! This might sound funny but I always sort of imagined you to look like the lady in your banner. You know…a really tall & feisty redhead ;p
jacquie
Well here’s to a very nice long weekend. Wink wink!
Bon
so when do we get the link to Boo’s blog?
i go offline for a day and all hell breaks loose. looks like a nice boy, that Boo…but i’m not sure he’s wise to be playing with fire like that. i know not to cross you and you live about eight provinces away.
glad all is back to sunshine and roses.
btw, be careful with that snaggly tooth shot…from a certain angle, it’s pretty dreamy.
DangerDoll
Oh my fucking GOD do I love your blog. I don’t know how I missed it for so long. I am rectifying that immediately and will now be stopping by as often as humanly possible. Fuck laundry; I got a blog to read!
And yeah, I keep my man fascinated by me but a little afraid of what I’m capable of, too. Keeps him in line. Divorce? Pfft. He knows that would be getting off easy.
Maria
Good hell…I would be willing to bet that Boo can hit a three pointer in the last three seconds of the game if he has to.
And that other guy? Dude, I was reading your blog and little by little that face came up and I nearly wet my pants in terror for you….
dennis
I gotta agree that the save was well implemented…however, it would make life easier to simply acknowledge that you need no other company than the bendy wife…
at least within earshot of anyone, say, who has access to the internet..!
Jess
Wow, I just got up to speed on what’s going on–great recovery Boo indeed!
You guys make a very cute couple.
(Great. Now that toothless dude’s image is seared into my brain.)
Dutchess of Malfi
Girl! Thank goodness I found you! Couldn’t figure out why you hadn’t written since the end of March!! Don’t know what I’d do without you! Your sweetie is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen–how can you let him out of your sight? Of course he’s all male too, as you can see from his original “plan.” Thank goodness he came to his senses! I’ve been meaning to ask–how is his being away so much going to affect you all’s trying to adopt? Will they see that as a problem? Just wondering.
gloria
aww, now i feel kinda bad.
(but i also understand why you didn’t want to help him along…even with the scribbled out eyes, he’s hot.)
if you like “can’t-read-danger,even-in-neon” types.
MaddMomma
Cheers for Boo. Good save.
Nancy
Just getting caught up on both posts. You two totally crack me up, ya lovebirds.
But I can’t see the pictures from here (damn work computer) — I’ll have to check out Boo’s mighty hotness later.
Melanie
that’s creepy. your husband looks like my husband. except my husband has eyes, and i’m the owner of the cleft chin in the family.
seriously though? Boo took it better than MrX would have. i’d be eating Cold Shoulder for a month. But then, MrX would have probably caught more hell than Boo did, also. so it…works out?
My Float
Damn Boo, you’re hot, especially with the blindfold.
I’m with the person who says that any girl who says she just wants to be your friend is a big fat liar. Including me. I just couldn’t resist temptation, please stay away.
I’m glad you two lovebirds sorted it out! I think it’s time to put the bunny away, T!
motherkitty
I’ll tell you a secret, T. If I had a husband that looked like Mr. Boo, I wouldn’t let him out of my sight. Damn, woman, he’s pretty cool looking. If he stays away too long, Mr. Long-In-The-Tooth-Who-Needs-A-Tic-Tac might start looking good to you, and all I can say to that union is ewwwwwwwwwwwweeee lady.
It’s all about trust, but I think you can only trust him as far as he can dance out of this little “story.”
