The week in bullet points:
- Shannon was born and raised in Mississippi and never snapped green beans until last week. He did a fine job. He just told me that he has also never picked cotton. That will be our next adventure. Does anyone know when cotton season is?
- Shelley has met a man person. She is not inclined to blog about it. Just deal with it.
- Shannon won't stop talking to me while I write this. It's making me feel schizophrenic. I told him to stop talking to me and he responded "But I haven't seeeeeeen you all daaaaaaaaaaaaaay!" (I love him SO much!)
- Shelley has gone off sugar (and white flour) again. That means no beer. Tragic. Just tragic. Also, she has not gone grocery shopping to prepare for the event, so yesterday she was reduced to eating a lot of melted mozzarella cheese on top of tomato slices (genteel folks might could call that a "crustless pizza," but I call it pathetic).
- Shannon hurt his back on Monday for no apparent reason and had to stay home from work. He thinks that his Diet Coke consumption may be the culprit. His back was better in time for him to go to his improv class.
- Shannon is wandering from room to room singing a ridiculous made-up song with only one line, which is: "Fat guy in a little co-oat." He has repeated it approximately twenty times. He is doing it to drive me insane while I write this goddamn blog entry. I left our friend Karen's hoodie on his bedpost so that we would remember to take it to her tonight. He put it on and came in here because I wasn't paying any attention to him. Thus, the song. (UPDATE: Shannon has just informed me that the song is NOT made up, but, rather, from that classic cinematic masterpiece, Tommy Boy).
- Best for last: we both own possibly the smallest cars on earth, and yet we cannot seem to maneuver the parking pad to get down the driveway in less than a twelve-point turn. And I was really good at geometry in high school, so I just don't get it. We are giving the whole "woman driver" stereotype a lot of traction.

so i tried leaving a comment a half hour ago about how having a webcam to show Shannon doing the "fat guy in a little coat" dance would be much more salient for your blog readers, when all of a sudden my internet crashes and my computer freaks out to the point where i had to restart it three times. now i'm convinced that this whole blog thing is just a cover so you can take over the world, one computer at a time. you sneaky blogging SOBs...
This is the best damn blog I've ever read. After I got the link from Sheldon, I read the whole thing end to end in one sitting and am now one of that tiny, illustrious group - the rabid fans.
@ Kevin...
Really glad you like the blog... we aim to please!
HATE it when you call me Sheldon (but you knew that, didn't you?)
