the envelope: T minus 7
There’s an envelope sitting on the living room floor. It’s been sitting there since last Friday aftenoon, left there for some unknown reason, by the husband. Not sure what’s in it - although there is something in it, and it’s open, but that’s no longer the point.
It’s become like the suitcase in that episode of Everybody Loves Raymond. The Husband knows I know that the envelope is still there and that I refuse to move it, and I know he knows that I know the envelope is still there and I refuse to move it.
Various people have commented on it this week. Do you know there’s an envelope on the floor? One person even went so far as to start to pick the envelope up, and I had to stop them.
I guess it’s annoying everyone, but strangely enough, I’m okay with it. The envelope’s become part of the room. So now it’s more of a, let’s see how the husband and I can annoy everyone with the envelope on the floor, thing.
It’s a strange method of bonding, yes, but it seems to work for us.

Why does this sound oddly like something that would go on in my house?

Sounds familiar. Years ago, I apparently left an empty box from some kind of Little Debbie treats or Ho-Hos or something equally delicious in the kitchen. My husband, trying to make a point to me, left it there. Apparently, the way he tells it, the box remained there for over a week. I didn’t even realize he did this until he told some friends of ours the story last week. *g* So much for trying to train Amy.

Cece - it’s fixed, thanks to web goddess Bekke.*g* Netscape didn’t like the dashes in between one of the sentences.
Linda - scary, isn’t it?
Amy - to be fair, I do annoy my husband with stuff like empty boxes all the time. In fact, my best trick was to put the empty ice trays back in the freezer. The husband went out and installed an ice maker so I have to have my fun in other ways now…
Jaynie - I’ll peek, just for you…
Larissa - you’re waiting for…grasshopper season?
because surely, I have no clue what you’re talking about…
