MrZ drove yesterday when we went south to take LilZ to camp. He picked me up at my office, and we took HIS car because it has air conditioning. My car? Stayed at my office. As we were pulling into our parking lot of the apartment complex last night, I said “Shit. My Car.” We had made it all the way home and had NOT gotten my car. We decided he would just take me to work this morning rather than drive out to the other side of town when we were already beat.
Well, when I was going to bed, we had one of those Big Annoying Almost Fights when discussing when we would leave in the morning. MrZ leaves at 5:45 normally. I leave at 6:30. He didnt want to leave later than he normally does, because then he has to work later. I, on the other hand, have to work until 4pm no matter WHAT time I get there, so I did not want to get there early.
So - I got annoyed and bitchy - like I tend to do. MrZ was pretty much telling ME to decide. Of course, I said things like “YOU decide because If I decide, we’ll leave at 6:30 and then YOU’LL be in a foul mood all day, and that’s NOT fair to ME.” I mean…Does that even make any sense? What point was I trying to make?
Another winner I used was “I mean, if leaving at 5:45 is what will keep you from getting pissed off, then we’ll leave then. But that is NOT FAIR TO ME.”
I’m am really good at making HUGE deals out of NOTHING.
Why did I not just say “Thanks for letting me decide, Hon. I’d like to leave at 6:30 as usual, Thanks!”. Nope. Being married to me is never that easy.
Funny thing is? I dont even remember what I/We decided on, His time, My time, or a Compromise Time. But here it is, 6am, and MrZ is just now in the shower. Heh. We’re both Late.
Yep, we did the whole Turn Off The Alarm, or Sleep Through The Alarm, or The Alarm Didnt Go Off thing this morning. Not sure who is responsible, but we slept until 5:45. And hour later than usual. Which means, we wont me leaving at My Time, His Time, or Compromise Time. We’ll be leaving at LATE TIME.
Its like the Universe is reminding me how silly our stupid fight was. I mean, really, is it all that important? No. Especially now, when we are going to be late anyway. Heh. I love a smart-ass universe. It makes me giggle.
But the whole Getting Out New Toilet Paper But Not Putting It On The Roll Argument? That is a worthwhile argument. That shit pisses me off.
Oh Yeah. I made a new skin, and I’m using it as the default now. If you want it back to one of the others? Go here, or click “Skins” in the About Zoot section.
If you notice any problems? Please email me nicely about it. I’m not done testing it out in ALL browers, and may never do that, so if you notice problems in your browser, feel free to tell me. But don’t be mean about it, okay? I’m not evil because I don’t design my site around Mozilla, I’m just LAZY.
**envisions Mr. Z arguing while walking prissy**
giggle.
Wow. I totally thought Tom and I were the only couple to have fights like that. It pisses me off that he KNOWS what I want, and I KNOW what he wants, but it’s always, “well, you decide.” See, cause that way he gets to blame me for things being wrong and I either get to look like an awesome person for not getting what I want, or I get to look like MeanieMcMeanPants because I choose what he doesn’t want. I HATE that.
I LOVE the new skin!!!
seems like the universe made it’s own compromise for the both of you… and the whole getting out new toilet paper but not putting it on the roll thing… really really annoying
Your new skin is looking purdy in Safari!
(Man, that toilet paper thing pisses me off too!!)
I like LATE TIME… i just never get to see it. We are constantly getting up at OH MY GOD ITS EARLY time. yanno?
You weren’t starting a stupid fight…I would have bugged out too about leaving earlier. I’m a thousand times worse than you are. And your new skin? Is awesome. It looks great in Firefox and I am jealous of your talents.
love it - it’s like purple popsicle
a) You are too good at web design and I may have to kill you because I’m about to launch a new design and? It sucks compared to this.
b) 5:45am is an hour LATER than you people usually get up?? I think you both need new jobs with normal hours.
Ooohhh… I like the new skin. And why is it that the stupider the fight is, the harder you fight about it?
I don’t see a new skin…?
I love you and Mr. Zoot. Please come join my commune.
Mir - you won’t see the new skin if you already chose one before. If your computer already has a cookie for a different skin, it wont use the default - which is the new one. If you want? Go to the skins page and choose it. Its the second choice.
Also - sometimes? This comments window uses the new skin? And sometimes? It doesnt. Weird.
Oh - and we’ll totally join the commune. The commune o’ Krispy Kremes, I imagine…
Love the new design!! (well, purple IS my favorite color). It’s very soothing and it makes your pictures POP! Very cool.
Woman, woman, woman,,,,
why do you keep saying your so lazy? you have a kid, husband, how many dogs, 3? and you still have time to put new SKINS on your blog? ..you skinned your blog…hee-hee!!
and YOU, make maps for a living..that has to take patience..not laziness.
Your new skin is great!
okay, I going to try out the new skin. I hate stupid fights, even though I don’t blame you for not wanting to leave at freakin 5:45. That is insane and I don’t like that at ALL. But I like how no one really won, after all. I notice that your arguments don’t make a lot of sense, like mine. But it’s our prerogative, since we’re girls and at the mercy of our hormones and all.
I’m like that too, I can make a real big fuss of anything and everything.
I can’t believe how early you guys get up. It would be very hard to get me out of bed so early.
And I love the new design!!
Love the new skin! Very fun and shiny.
Also, I agree with Kim. If 5:45am is late for y’all?? You ain’t lazy, woman.
skin looks great. works fine on firefox. Also the put a bloomin’ bag in the trash after you take it out argument…which i mostly have in my head since he did just take the trash out.
The skin looks good! As for the silly arguments…are they ever silly?
