I Lost My Poor Meatball

So I hosted this brilliant baby shower for my niece Erin a couple of weekends ago.

It featured a brunch, and one of the things we served was meatballs. You know the ones: made with bulk pork sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and Bisquick. Perfect with the yummy egg casserole Bridget made and the strawberry torte Mary made.

Anyway, there were lots of leftovers, and plenty of meatballs ended up in the freezer. Yesterday morning, I pulled out a zipper bag of them.

Late in the afternoon, suffering from a colossal headache and not sure my vision was serving me well, I stared at a glob on the carpet across the room and then said to Doug, “What IS that?”

“Oh, that,” he said. “It’s a meatball.”

“What is it DOING there?” I asked.

“It rolled off my plate.”

Evidently, the man’s plate underwent such an unexpected spasm that SEVERAL meatballs rolled off in one fell swoop. As attentive to detail as he usually is, he missed this one.

Excuses notwithstanding, he got that song in my head and I haven’t stopped humming it ever since.

“On top of Old Smoky...”

Now tell me: Who said marriage was easy?

  2. Oh no! Now I’ll have that song stuck in my head all day! Oh well. Glad you had a good time at the baby shower, and that you were able to eat meatballs. (I don’t think I’ve seen one for several months—and that didn’t happen by my choice.)

    And yeah, marriage isn’t easy. But it can be a whole lot of fun.

  3. How cute! Marriage isn’t easy, but it can be such a blessing. Tomorrow we’ll celebrate our 15th year anniversary.

  5. Thanks for suggestion. Really enjoy your view. Marriage is sometimes really enjoyable though it’s tricky. Everybody should have enjoy at least one time.
