Liposuction?

One great thing about really buckling down to drop some pounds: When I’m being diligent, I pop out of bed in the morning (with no alarm at 5 a.m.) because I can’t WAIT to weigh myself. I know, really sick. But you know what? It still beats sleeping in and gaining weight all to heck.

So I walked out of the bathroom before the crack of dawn, all smiles even though it was too dark for Doug to see me. “Lost another one-half,” I said. “So that makes eight pounds.”

He didn’t roll over or open his eyes. But somehow he always knows just what to say.

“That’s an Oreck XL.”

What a guy.

Fallible Comments...
  1. That's hilarious! I agree, he has the gift of the appropriate comment.

    Or would that be a gift of the Blarney? ;)

  3. Reminds me of a line from <i>America's Sweethearts</i>: "You lost 60 pounds? That's a Backstreet Boy."

    That's pretty good of your hubby coming up with the Oreck line while still half asleep, lol.

  5. Dad is mad funny!
    Lynn-An Oreck XL is a vacuum that weighs only 8lbs...but why that would enter his mind in this situation is beyond me!

  7. He's a goof ball, and never more than when he's barely awake. That's when I can elicit the most entertainment value from the man, so I DO!!! Glad you guys enjoyed his weirdness, too.....
