Oh, Where, Oh, Where, Has My...

ThatManILove has been in the field Monday-Friday, and staying nights in the hotel.  He's been coming home on the weekends, and it's a mad scramble to catch up, get our chores done, and have a second to chill.  My newly awakened travel schedule has only complicated matters.

 ThatManILove is currently working for Mark.  I was in a restaurant with customers, and Mark walked in with a salesman, and sat down at the table beside us.  He didn't see us.  So, I texted him, just, you know, to mess with him.

Because I LOVE to mess with people.

Make sure you look at the time between initial text and response.

He told me he couldn't hear the text notification.

I think he saw it, and was scared to answer...until he saw me, at the next table, grinning like a cheshire cat.

I love my life in the oilfield!

Homecoming

ThatManILove sang this song to me last night.  He stole my heart away, again.

"Something in the Way She Moves"  

James Taylor

Something in the way she moves, or looks my way, or calls my name
that seems to leave this troubled world behind.
And if I'm feeling down and blue or troubled by some foolish game,
she always seems to make me change my mind..

And I feel fine anytime she's around me now, 
She's around me now almost about all the time.
And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now.
She's been with me now quite a long, long time and I feel fine.

Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning
and I find myself careening in places where I should not let me go.
She has the power to go where no one else can find me and to silently remind me
of the happiness and the good times that I know, and then I just got to go then.

It isn't what she's got to say but how she thinks and where she's been.
To me, the words are nice, the way they sound.
I like to hear them best that way, it doesn't much matter what they mean.
she says them mostly just to calm me down

And I feel fine anytime she's around me now, 
She's around me now almost about all the time.
And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now.
She's been with me now quite a long, long time and I feel fine.

Open Sesame

ThatManILove cracks me up.

He’s a gourmet cook.

He can throw anything together and it is a.m.a.z.i.n.g.  Seriously amazing.

See?  Like this.  Omelets...and fresh veggies.  Breakfast.  Yum.

I will hear beeping.

I know, without looking, what it might be,  but there’s this thing in me that makes me go look to see what is up.

The beeping is usually the sound that means the refrigerator is open.

Wide open.

Plus the fact that ThatManILove is cooking.  Simultaneously. With the refrigerator doors wide open.

Check it out.

The dishwasher...open.

The refrigerator...open.

Almost every top cabinet in the kitchen...open.

It’s just how he does it.

He cracks me up.  He thinks it's funny that I think it's funny.

I love him.

By the way, breakfast was awesome...and awesomely healthy.

Yummmmm.
