The Delimma About True Blood

Sunday, June 16th is Father’s Day. Instead of “Dinner at Dad’s” or “Dad over for dinner”; written on my calendar is “True Blood!”.  No disrespect meant to my dad – I lost him way too soon in 1992.  He would have either hated True Blood or loved to make fun of it, BTW.

Season six of the HBO Series, True Blood, premiers this Sunday night. My DVR is already programmed to tape each episode. Unlike the past 5 years, I may watch it live. My daughter, who turned me on to the thing in the first place, now has HBO at her house. This means I don’t have to tape it and wait until we can get together to watch. We would watch 2-3 episodes at a time after kids and hubbies were in bed, staying up way too late to be dealing with those same folks in the morning, but it was worth it.  This season we can each set our machines to record it.

Why the Hell am I telling you this? [Aside from this week’s writing challenge]

Weekly Photo Challenge: The Sign Says

MenThinking

This sign was SO true of me. I spent years trying to figure out what my dates/boyfriends/crushes/husband was thinking. Did they love me? Were they mad at me? Did they think I needed to lose weight? Did they wish I was like so-and-so? Arrrgggh!

Hubby finally explained to me that men did not think about their relationships. They thought about “real” stuff. Like guns, trucks, tools and things they watched on Cops. They counted on women to tell them what they do or don’t like. It doesn’t even occur to them to worry about it. Men are content as long as we aren’t complaining. Then he gave me an example.

“You know how you always ask me how you should get your hair done?” he asked.

“Yeah. You never give me your opinion – you just say ‘however you want, dear’.”

“That’s because my answer would hurt your feelings.”

“Why?”

“Because I honestly don’t give a rat’s ass how you wear your hair – I want YOU to be happy with it so I don’t have to listen to cussing and whining.”

“What do you mean?”

Hubby then put his hands on his hips and made his voice high-pitched and prissy,  he rolled his eyes, exclaiming – “Oh DAMMIT, stupid hair”. Then he made a pouty face (that was kinda cute) and stomped his foot and yelled – “I HATE my hair!”

I have to admit that his mimicry was spot on.

Next time you gals start ‘worrying’ about what your man is thinking, just stop yourself. Chances are – he’s not.
