Seven LOVELIFE
Have you ever been in love? Yeah

My favorite here? The houseboat question.
Every single time I relive that moment it gets funnier and funnier in my mind. I can’t believe we held it together for the rest of the night…or did we?
//Believe in it? I have experienced love, therefore I know it is a reality – it has nothing to do with “belief”.// That is so true, what a crazy question that really is.
//Are you bored? Getting there// I don’t know why I find this so freaking hilarious, but I do.
“Why’s she sayin’ ‘We’?”
The eternal question.
“I’m with her, Heffer!”
That one still makes me laugh out loud too.
God.
And people think I’m so nice.
I am laughing out loud.
Of course, those statements have now been so bastardized in the repetition as to be unrecognizable.
“Uh-WHYZSHESAYIN uh WE.”
That is NOT how I said it! hahahahaha
Then of course there’s Mitchell’s favorite:
“Chill OUT, Gordon!”
Sorry to interrupt here, but I would allow your incredible swinging experience this summer to semi-fall under the bungee jumping category.
I mean literally swinging on a swing, as opposed to the swapping partners swinging. Just FYI.
I, too love the houseboat question. So random.
And interestingly enough, the consultant who was sitting in a cube across from me for like three weeks actually OWNED a houseboat(! Really, who owns a houseboat, ya know?) which he would yammer about incessantly on the phone with everyone who called him.
I kind of hated his houseboat after a while. He kept a picture of it on his desk, next to the EXTREMECLOSEUP glamour shot of his wife/girlfriend/whatever.
As for myself, no, I’ve never been on a houseboat. I mean, who am I, Travis McGee?
Alex – you shoulda gone on that jackass’ houseboat. Just to see it!!
And don’t you love those people with the glamour shots of their spouses on their desks? hahahaha
Beth – Yeah, I had to think for a minute … hmmmm, when did I “swing”?? hahahaha
And you are so right – that swing moment was very much like a bungee moment.
Sheila, you have no idea about this glamour shot. It was so freakin huge. And black & white (oooooooh. artistic.)
It really bothered a bunch of us. Because we’re, you know, jerks.
Of course you’re jerks!! I mean, fine, guy, have a trophy wife – but … you know … don’t have TROPHIES around. Sheesh. I’m a jerk, too.
the ‘are you bored?’ “getting there” moment is making me not be able to stop laughing, too.
hahahahaha I so didn’t mean that to be funny!! I was being quite honest. I was tired with the questionnaire by then. Thank goodness there were only a couple more questions.
I was on a houseboat when I was 8 and my family and I sailed around the Missisippi on it. I’m still recovering.
The Sheila Variations: Lazy
I’m here in the office by myself — His Honor is taking advantage of the sunny 71 degree (What’s the keystroke for the degree sign? I can’t ever remember.) weather and no court by going fishing. Bloglandia has no controversy
