I'm a little grumpy - so?!?!

Sean has a late conference call tonight so he came home early. Here's kinda how our short time together went:

Me: "So Sean, this water bottle you put in the sink, do you want me to put it in the dishwasher, are you going to hand wash it...."

Sean: "I was going to hand wash it."

Me: "But there hasn't been time in the past 2 days to do that?"

Pause

Sean: "Right."

Soon after this we sat down to dinner.

Sean: "I'm thinking we need to paint down here."

Me: (I've been waiting 3 years for this) "So we need to paint these three walls but not that one."

Sean: "Why not that one?"

Me: "Because it leads right into the office - there's no break. You'd have to paint all the way into there."

Sean: "No, you can just paint a line down where the entrance way ends and the office starts."

Me: "Just a line down the wall?"

Sean: "Yup."

Me: "Nope."

Sean: "Not a straight line?  Just like a stop line?"

Me:  "Nope."

Pause

Sean:  "Hey Pete, guess which baseball team is in the playoffs?"

Me:  "The Skankees."  (Sean's favorite team - gag)

Sean:  "Hey Pete, guess who they beat?  The Red Sox!"  (My favorite team)

Me:  "Are you seriously starting this right now?  We are talking about the walls."

Sean: "Well, what color were you thinking?"

Me: "A light tan that goes into the kitchen, replacing all that horrible wallpaper, and a tan and white glass back splash. Then we can get a chocolate brown slipcover for the couch, blue and white pillows, and blue and white curtains."

Pause

Sean: "Tan? Really?"

Me: "A very light tan."

Sean:  "All the way into the kitchen?  You don't want to do the kitchen in a different color?"

Me:  "Well, what were you thinking?"

Sean: "I don't know, maybe butter cream?"

Me: "Yellow?!?! No. Next."

Sean: "Mossy green?"

Me: "No. Next."

Sean:  "You can decide whatever color you want, you know."

Me:  "Oh, believe me, I know."

Sean: "Do you need a costume change?"


The water bottle is still in the sink, by the way. I'm not washing it.
