Husband Clothes

The two most fascinating men I know are my father and my husband. By definition, of course, fascinating includes the concepts of odd and puzzling on some level. Or all levels.

Yesterday I called to ask my stepmom a question. So, my Dad answers the phone. I was kind of in a hurry, so I said, “Hey Dad! Sorry, I’m in a hurry, can I talk to Laura?” (Fake name, sorry, Dad is even more private than my husband, he’d kill me if I put his wife’s real name on this blog!)

He paused for a long time. I asked, “Is Laura home, Dad?”

His response: “Hmmmm…I have no idea.”

My response: “Um, but you’re at home. And I am asking if she’s also at home. How could you have no idea?”

He answered, “Oh, I’m downstairs.” As if this explains not even knowing if your wife is at home.

Whatever. Then I realized, hey, at least my father answers the phone! My husband NEVER does that!

PS. FATHER’S DAY is in 2 weeks on Sunday June 15. If you need gift ideas, visit the Husband Clothes store–there are very nice summer shirts in the “Clothing” section, and my personal favorite is the “Under $20″ section if that’s helpful to anyone. Also, banners below with good sales and GOOD stuff for fathers:

It’s 1:30am on Friday night. I waited all day for my husband to tell me whether he has to work tomorrow. And Monday. (I can’t make weekend plans without this info.) He has to do stuff for a trailer being released in a week or two, so his schedule is crazy again, but not for long.

My husband IM’d me an hour ago that he’s coming home. So I asked, “Are you working tomorrow???”

His response: “Hm. They were supposed to tell me. But they didn’t. Hey, do you know if I’m supposed to work on Monday?”

I don’t think I need to explain the many things wrong with that response. I should mention that he thinks I might know his Monday schedule because he forwarded me some message a week ago about it. But uh, I don’t read boring stuff like that, so while I noticed Monday was mentioned, I have no idea what the details were. Oh well, he’ll catch on eventually and stop relying on me for his schedule info.

So, in a nutshell, it’s already Saturday, yet I have no idea what we’re doing Saturday. Or Monday. But Sunday, I can plan for, as I know my husband will be home. I plan that my husband will sleep till 3pm then say he’s too tired to do anything. But I’m going to be rebellious. We’re doing something fun on Sunday. And so help me, if I have to use pepperspray to get that man out of bed early, so be it.

But where will we go? I’m thinking Point Dume in Malibu. I heard you can see live starfish there! Um, the fact that Brad Pitt lives kind of close to there and I’m dying to see his house has nothing to do with this idea. Does anyone know a good site with maps of movie star homes? I don’t need it for our fun family trip on Sunday. I’m just asking out of curiosity. Also does anyone know where Owen Wilson’s house in Santa Monica is? NOT because it’s on the way to Malibu, and I want to see it. PLEASE. That would be so immature. No, um. See, I just want to AVOID going near the homes of any movie stars along the way. You know, to respect their privacy. And stuff like that. Thanks.
