We began dating when Jon was a young
82nd Airborne Paratrooper.
Jon didn't have to work yesterday so we enjoyed spending the day together.
We are always thinking of ways in which we could run a business together. We did once and it was fun but we still had the main jobs.
In a perfect world we would run a company that would allow us to work from home. Well, actually, in a perfect world we would be independently wealthy, travel the globe and fill our days with adventures and philanthropic efforts while writing books.
In any case I would never tire of him.
Me: "Man, I need to get a haircut."
Jon "Did I tell you about when I got my hair cut yesterday?"
Me: "No"
Jon: "Well, my barber, the female one, likes to talk. A lot."
Me: "Oh? Eva Scrivo says hair stylists shouldn't talk while they're working. They should be concentrating."
Jon: "Yeah, I guess when she had her last baby, her placenta was falling into her uterus or her uterus was falling into her placenta. Whatever. Something like that."
Me: "She told you that?? She doesn't know you at all."
(Jon = queasy stomach when talking about things like this.)
Jon: "Yeah. Not at all. I think I threw up a little in my mouth."
Me: "Maybe she's lonely and needs to chat."
Jon: "No, she's not lonely. She has a boyfriend. A new one. Did you ever see the guy in the booth next to her? Have you ever been in there with me?"
Me: "No."
Jon: "Well, he left and so did the big screen t.v."
Me: "Where did he go?"
Jon: "I don't know but the big screen is gone. They had three kids together."
Me: "The big screen? What??"
Jon: "No, the barbers. Now she has a new boyfriend and had pictures of them all over the place."
Me: "And tell me why you go to the barber still?"
Jon: "I don't know. Can we just get some clippers and you can do my hair?"
Me: "Sure!"
Jon: "You won't tell me about your placenta, will you?"
Me: "No. I don't know anything about a placenta."
Jon: "You wouldn't tell me if you did, would you?"
Me: "No."
Jon: " Then you're the barber for me, lady!"
Me: " I think you just gave me my next blog post."
