Hey, look! Over there, wearing the feathers...It's Big Chief Ima Goober!

This, ladies and gentlemen, is my husband. Yes. I'm proud to say that. Honestly. This man is the most important human being in the world to me. I love him. Nay, dare I say, I adore him. He makes my heart go pitter-patter. He makes me feel better when I'm feeling down. He makes me laugh when I'm feeling grumpy. He makes me cry with just the very sweetness of his soul. And maybe most importantly, he has yet to strangle me in an effort to escape my menopausal induced madness. This is just a wonderful, wonderful man. Oh I'm so lucky. Indeed, I am. Can't say it enough. Just can't. But. There are times when dealing with him is just like having an extra kid around. And this was OBVIOUSLY one of those times. We took a trip this weekend to one of those tiny little towns scattered all over Texas. We thought we'd check out some of the "antique" (aka junk) stores around that area. As we were walking through this one store, I heard Randey in the back of the place. Actually, what I heard sounded a lot like the air going out of a tire. It was Randey, trying to get my attention. I turned around and went back. And there he stood. In all his magnificence. Wearing this. I, in my firmest "mother" voice, told him to take that thing off and put it back. Right now! He wanted me to take a picture of him first. Thought it was just sooooo cool. I snapped the picture quickly and then left him just as quickly. It was either that or slap his hand and tell him no-no. It wasn't until later that night, when I was telling someone about this incident that Randey shared this piece of news: that funny headdress he was wearing? It was selling for the low, low price of $2,200.00! And here's photographic proof that my husband was playing with it like he'd found it down at the Five and Dime. Geez. No concept.

  2. This picture of Randey is too funny. But for those of us who know him it's just as charming as it is hilarious. Too cute. Was that in Granbury?

  3. Have you ever noticed that it always works that way, mommies get children for husbands, and daddies get brats for wives? Funny how that works...and as if you didn't know, your uncle is also a big baby...
    love that picture...
    love you guys too

  4. Man oh Man...I got me one of these! The Hub is the sweetest thing going and would do anything for just about anybody...but make no mistake, he is a Pill with a capital "P"! That whole "can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em" thing? Very.True. And when it's right, it's just right... ;) Cassie

  7. I feel the same about my lovin' hubbin'...but he'll tell you it's usually me...pulling the antics and jokes...and acting up! I'm a kid at heart most of the time...BUT when he pulls something...he usually does it in a BIG way and much to my chagrin.....his pranks are usually few and far between...but they usually leave me with my head spinning...Gotta love em' though...ain't life grand!

    blessings...

  8. Hi Kari - Missed you and your wonderful blog while I have been away! Thanks too (lots!) for the Creative Blogger Award - that was very special and made my day. It has taken me ages to read all your posts from the last 10 days or so but I couldn't stop - you sure have a way with words! And the girly room looks great - very feminine. Have you visited this blog - it is always pretty and funny too! http://posy.typepad.com/posy/

  13. Kari,

    Somehow I missed this post! This is too funny, it sounds like something my husband would do or actually I would do it and embarrass my kids. Sometimes I start dancing in the middle of the grocery and they go running away from me. What can you say? We're still kids at heart!

  14. Men, can't live with 'em, can't run over 'em with a tractor when they embarrass us. Oh how I LOVE my husband but he can be such a stubborn pill of a man. I, of course, am as sweet as can be and always perfect.
    You are not buying any of this are you??

    Hugs,
    Sue
