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?
Too funny! My daughter loves the Veggie Tale version of that song.
Posted by BecomingMe on 07/14/08 at 04:59 PMOh 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.

Posted by anime izle on 09/07/09 at 11:29 AMI’m supposed to be planning a camping 3day 2night camping trip for about 10-15 people. We want to keep it cheap and this is my first time planning my husband’s squadron camp-out and it’s still two weeks away and I just can’t keep things organized and I’m having a hard time getting people to cooperate. Any suggestions?
