Each and every evening the Husband walks up the hill to the local coffee shop to get his favorite blended drink. Occasionally he deigns to ask if there is anything I would like. Most of the time I don't want anything. However, tonight I wanted a soda water with some orange zest. It is the perfect evening beverage because it has good flavor and no caffeine.
"You just had one of those," he said.
"No, I had a Limonata."
"Well you could just have an Aranciata, instead," was his reply. (FYI we had both of those in the fridge from a recent visit to Trader Joe's.)
How LOVELY to have this man around who apparently knows even better than I what my needs and desires are. The next time I go shopping I will have to keep him within celluar distance to verify if I really need a new pair of shoes, or underwear, or even if I want coffee in the morning. What an amazing convenience. I recommend that every woman go out and get one of these immediately. You could start in the yellow pages under J, for jackass.
Apparently he had an epiphany on the way home since he just arrived with not only my soda water but also a pint of yummy ice cream. There might some life in that old dog, after all.
