Blondes

The craft show I worked at last Friday evening and all day Saturday and Sunday in Western NY was not as busy as it has been in the past. Spring shows are notoriously slow, but this is usually quite a good one. The weather was beautifully warm and sunny and this keeps people at home working in their yards and gardens. We have better attendance when the weather is cold and wet. However, we appreciate the customers we do have, and enjoy seeing our fellow crafters and their wares.
Our husbands always call to chat at night once or twice while we’re away…we just like to check in with each other. This time I hadn’t left a phone number for my hubby so we planned to have Chris’s husband call him with it. Saturday night when she was chatting to her hubby about the events of the day I remembered seeing a number on the room key card and so I gave that to Chris to read off to Dick. He agreed to call Ross and pass it on.
We became engrossed in the movie "Bewitched" which was showing on TV, so it was some time later before we realized that Ross hadn’t called me yet. I joked to Chris that apparently my hubby didn’t love me anymore, and we continued watching the movie.
Now picture this: The closing scene with Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell in a romantic embrace, whispering the final lines to each other……suddenly Chris sits bolt upright, eyes wide, and spouts, "I’ll bet that was the number for Domino’s Pizza!"

"What?" I say, bewildered…..trying to ignore her and watch the closing scene.

"The key card had a picture of a pizza on it!", she says, and begins to laugh.

The realization of what she’s saying begins to sink into my thick head, and I start to chuckle, saying, "Hush, you’re ruining the end of the movie", but she keeps laughing, louder now.

Then I begin laughing and we can’t stop………

We just kept on laughing hysterically for about 10 minutes…couldn’t stop for the life of us! It seemed like the funniest thing we’d ever done. Then of course, after a while, it seemed like the stupidest thing we’d ever done....the ‘blondest’ thing we’d ever done :)
When we eventually managed to contain ourselves I felt rather bad about not calling Ross earlier, since he hadn’t called. He always calls! I had assumed he must’ve fallen asleep on the couch while watching TV or reading, which he often does. Anyway, I called him at about 10:45PM and woke the poor guy up. He had indeed reached Domino’s Pizza! Strangely enough, he wasn’t anywhere near as amused as we’d been by our little fiasco. Sometimes men have no sense of humor, you know?
