It Hurts To Take My Pants Off

You know how you go to places like Tucson, Arizona, for the warm weather? Yeah, the day we got there, it was a sweltering 17 degrees, the coldest temperature since something like 1880.

Also? My better half and I caught this nasty snorky bug when we left Tucson so we’ve spent the better part of the weekend horking up our lungs. My body is all achy and my skin is so sensitive that it hurts to go to the bathroom. Not the part when I pee cause that would be a whole ‘nother trip to the doctor, but when I pull my pants down to pee.

I’m telling you this so that you don’t touch me for the next few days.

Meanwhile, here’s a cute Valentine’s Day story. I bought myself a nightshirt at the Hanes Outlet recently.

And I failed to think of the implications on laundry day. As some of you know, my husband does the laundry and I failed to mention this particular purchase to him. So he says to me the other day, “Uhhh, I’m going to be the jealous husband and just ask. What’s with the shirt that says ‘Sending my love’”?

Because nobody buys themSELVES stuff for Valentine’s Day, right? Right?

Wrong. According to several sources, 15% of women send themselves flowers on Valentines Day. Have you ever done that?

Tucson, Arizona is a Big Bully

When we went to Tucson a couple weeks ago, one of my goals was to see a roadrunner. Locals kept telling me, “Oh they’re everywhere. You’ll just see ‘em out on the roads.”

My husband, Mr. MudPuppy, set his desires on a plush cactus with eyes. It had to have eyes.

Turns out the locals lie (also I have bad karma when it comes to these things) and the above items were horribly elusive. We spent the better part of our vacation NOT finding them. We sought peaceful icons from the Arizona desert, but the place offered us nothing but violence. To begin with, Tucson was only interested in kicking our ass.

Then it wanted to whoop our ass…

Then it wanted to stab us in the ass…

After our authentic ass-kickin’, ass-whoopin’ and pear-pricklin’, we begged for mercy. “Please Tucson,” we begged. “Can’t we all just get along?”

I guess it finally felt sorry for us. Either that, or it heard I had a blog and could wield a mighty pen, because just before we left, we were finally greeted with what I was looking for…

And Mr. MudPuppy’s souvenir dreams came true as well:
