Huh.....

BFF

Holly and I are BFF (Best Friends Forever). We're spending the night together because Holly's husband is going out of town. Maybe I'm giddy because I get to spend such quality one-on-one time with her tonight - or maybe she's really as funny as I think she is...but these back and forth emails almost made me fall off my yoga ball.

Me:

I just ate the lunch Eric packed for me. Left over wedding soup and rice, homemade cookie, and Diet Dr. Pepper.

Holly:

WTF is wedding soup? I just went down to the buffet and got a burger. Yummm beef.

Me:

Wedding soup is a traditional soup served at Italian weddings, duh!? We didn't have a traditional Italian wedding at the condo last night, nor are we Italian, but the soup was good.

Holly:

Did you make the soup? What's wedding about it? Knot-noodles?

Me:

I think the wedding part was the balls....it has meat balls in it.

Holly:

Meat ball soup? Sounds like runny spaghetti. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Me:

It's more of a cous cous (I know..) [SIDE BAR: I am normally anti-cous-cous]with meat balls in chicken broth, runny cous cous balls, if you will.

Holly:

Cous cous jess? Cous cous? And runny cous cous at that?

Me:

Eric made me do it. Since he was violently cleaning I didn't want to remind him how I associate cous cous with maggots. They turned out good so I'm glad I'm so open minded. I guess I could have asked for him to puree it so it was more of a cous cous meat ball mush. [Side bar: Holly purees salsa so she can't feel the texture of the onions. I think it's a sin.]

Holly:

Wow, I don't know what's worse, maggots or cous cous meat ball mush.

Me:

I want chocolate....I love Sidney [Side bar: Sidney is Holly's 18 lb cat who hates baths]. I can't wait to kiss his fat hairy face.

Holly:

The meeting in our conference room just let out and they put the leftover desserts on the hall table...my fingers are now sticky. Thank you for not saying you want to kiss my fat hairy face.I love my wedding ring(s). Really. Love. Them.

Me:

How about you shut up about those rings until I get one, eh? IT'S ONE THING TO BRAG ABOUT DIAMONDS HOLLY BUT TO THEN BRAG ABOUT DESSERTS DIRECTLY AFTER I STATED THAT I WANT CHOCOLATE IS UNCALLED FOR.

Holly:

Huh...I didn't put two and two together with the desserts/chocolate thing. Mainly I was concerned that I'll gunk up my keyboard. Basically it's all about me me me. On the you you you side of the house, I have all kinds of desserts at home: thin mints, chocolate chip cookies, ice cream, another kind of ice cream, pie, jello, oreos, and fuzzy fat cat face. All for you.


Ok now if you didn't laugh - that's fine. But just once, for me, say "fuzzy fat cat face". Every time I say it I laugh really loud. Did you?
