So Much to Remember, So Little Head

Dannyism's..... They make me smile everyday!  My husband is a man of few words.  (Understatement of the century) He's sorta like that old commercial, "When E.F. Hutton speaks... (long pause) PEOPLE LISTEN"   If my husband is sitting in a meeting, or just reviewing oh say my most recent Target receipts, : (   and he takes his glasses off before he starts to speak.....well, you just KNOW it's going to be important and you had better stop, look and listen!!  He's a little intimidating, unless you are me.   I ain't scert of him!

So, he's prone to just tossing out random quips that can send me into deep belly laughs, run to the potty real fast, kind of laughter.  The best part is, when he isn't trying to be funny, he is the funniest.   A lot of times he throws these quips out when we are in the middle of a heated discussion, and just when I'm about to go all Matlock on him and win my case.... he says something funny... and well, crap... I just lose it.   Because we all know I'm a fire cracker and a bulldog and will stand my ground if I believe I'm right, he knows that all he has to do is toss out a Dannyism, and case dismissed.  I LOSE!!!!  By the way, the last time I won a debate with Danny was...NEVER!

So true story, this past week, picture if you will a typical night in my home.  Usually we are sitting side by side either in the Living Room or at the kitchen counter, working.. Okay, he works, I facebook and if he glances my way I quickly open up my email so it appears as though I'm working.  WHAT??? Don't judge!!! I'm a great multitasker!  Besides, I do my best work between 11:30 and 1:30 with my customers...at lunch people at lunch!!!    
      So back to my story, we are reviewing some important documents and having a heated discussion, I'm sure my eye's are glazed over because he's talking about capital gains, or depreciation or something beyond my realm of thinking.  Anyhow...he just looks at me and says, "So much to remember, so little head."   Well of course I fall on the floor with laughter, this important conversation just became very funny, to me.  He just looks at me like I'm nuts as I'm laughing uncontrollably.  I have a hard time being serious anyhow...

Another fun day this past week, we are eating lunch with a client, who also happens to be a great friend.  Client and I are sharing a plate of raw oysters and I tell him to go ahead and finish off the last two.  He says, " why? don't you want anymore?"  Me, being ME, says,  "no, better not,  they (the oysters), make me really frisky and Danny just can't handle it"  Danny says, without missing a beat... "oh don't worry babe..I can hire a subcontractor to do the job"   MY HEAD WENT REELING AROUND BECAUSE,               A) he trumped my bold one-liner and   B) WHO SAYS THAT?????????????

"You can't fight a bulldog with a wet noodle".. Just the other night, when I was losing yet another perfectly winnable argument... he tosses out that little Dannyism.  DRAT!!!  How the heck can I get all passionate about my point of view when someone says something like to me???

"Nakedness calms every situation"....   ummmm ok...well alllrighty then.  He didn't really say that, but I heard it on TV and thought it was a perfect fit for this blog...whatever, I have full literary freedom with my blog!  And IT's TRUE!!!!  If you are naked you cannot be angry!  Well... except for this one time, when I was skinny dipping and "someone"  took off with my clothes... I was MAD!!! Really really mad!!  Then I was frantic... and felt so, well umm  naked and grasping for tiny oak leaves to cover large areas of nakedness.
I"m pretty sure that's when the often said phrase, DAMMIT DANNY...evolved.  He hears that AT least once a day, it just sounds so good together, I think he looks for ways to cause me to say that..because then HE bursts out in laughter!

 WOW.. I have REALLY veered off course with my originally planned blog.  Oh well....literary freedom!

"Don't invite crazy to your own party"....  Done! oops... tends to happen a lot to me!
"You can't get something from someone, if they don't have it to give".   Definitely  words of wisdom., not really funny, but see...he IS so wise!

"I'm going to go and walk the dog, while you repair your broken relationship"...(referring to me blogging about someone, then having to edit out my commentary after I thought they might have read it and well, it could have been perceived as hurtful although I didn't intend that).....anyway...He tosses out this little golden nugget and closes the door behind him and I sit there slack jawed for at least 4 minutes before leaping into action.

"All painters are flawed, it's my job to find their fatal flaw and deal with it"...  Jeez Louise...does he examine everyone this way? Including me?  I'm definitely doing a lot of self examinations!   : )
 By the way, in case you don't know, we own a painting contractors business called CertaPro Painters. 


He likes to do that a lot you know.  By "that" I mean, he walks through a room, spits out a diddy...and walks out of the room while I'm left to catch fly's with my mouth hanging wide open.  Then I get all flustered and start pondering things for weeks on end...and he has literally forgotten what he said 2 minutes after he says it!  MEN!!!!! It's what they DO!!!   They are like atomic bombs...we women are left dazed and confused.  Although, I think they think that we are like NUCLEAR bombs...leaving death and destruction in our paths and they have NO idea what the hell just happened.  I guess we are sorta like that.  And we definitely do NOT forget a single thing they say to us!!! Ever... Ever....EVER!!!

    I might have gotten a little off point....excuse the random babble.

  So these are just a few of daily quips I hear out of my honey's mouth!
     This man that makes me laugh, let's me win a few debates now and then, and doesn't get mad at me when I spend too much at Target.  This man loves me despite all of my fatal flaws!  This is the guy that is always there for the people he surrounds himself with.  I love this guy with all my heart.  My kids and my Danny are my greatest blessings in life.

With his banker doing what
he does best
