Many of you know that I've been getting up before work and taking a walk for my health and weight loss goals. (Don't get excited...I find that I'm also eating more to counter balance all the good I'm doing myself with these walks.) Last week Hubby started joining me on my morning jaunts and, as has been our custom, we also walk down to the local Starbucks for a beverage at the end of the work day. Not every day, I mean, we have to leave coffee available for the rest of the world.
BUT, you've been warned.
Oh, and yes, while it's not a word for word recounting, this is an ACTUAL conversation Hubby and I had on our walk home from Starbucks.
So we were walking back from Starbucks (ours is 1.2 miles from our house, so it's a legit walk) and hubby says, "I just buzzed. I reached my Fitbit goal."
"I haven't buzzed yet," says I.
"Well I guess we have to keep walking until you do buzz then," says he.
I looked at how many steps I needed and I realized that just walking home from Starbucks was not going to get the job done. "You're not going to want to walk as long as it's going to take to get me to buzz."
"Oh, no, really, we can keep walking until you buzz, I'm find with it."
We took a few more steps and I felt guilty. "No, it's fine. Maybe I just won't buzz today. I don't want to force you to keep going until I buzz if you're already buzzed."
"Well...you know, you could always finish up yourself, Maybe you can buzz on your own at home...like use the mini trampoline to get you there. You like the mini trampoline."
"But it's just not as much fun trying to buzz by myself. It's always more satisfying if we can buzz together."
"Well of course it is," says he. "But that doesn't always happen."
"Tell me about it!" I respond. "It seems like you generally buzz way more quickly than I do and then I have to figure out a way to buzz on my own."
"That's just how it is, sometimes," says Hubby with a grin on his face.
"Sometimes I wish I was a guy. It always takes women more work to achieve the buzz. So unfair." I grumble.
Like I said, my friends...if you get it, you're laughing out loud. If not...well...have someone explain it to you.
Meanwhile, have a great weekend!
