Phobias

Today, I'm immersed in a different kind of "Dust Covered and Discouraged". Instead of choosing and tossing garments in my closet...I've moved on to the garage and am making different piles this time:

Keep ... Junk ... Goodwill ... Need Mr. Smart Guy to Choose

So, as I've been adding stuff to heaps and mounds of piles,  I happened across yet another can of bug spray! 



Oh, they're not mine .... they are Mr. Smart Guys!  He is the one who has a bee/wasp/hornet/anything-that-buzzes-nearby phobia as is evidenced by my garage findings.  I collected ALL of the cans and just smiled because of a funny memory; I remembered a time early in our marriage when we had pulled up to a fast-food drive through.  He was driving and placed our order and then coasted up to the pickup window when, all of a sudden  ........

he freaked out!!

And, it was just as he was handing me my drink.

He jumped out of the car and started waving his arms around like a crazy man while I was dealing with a spilled drink all over me.  Can't you just see the chaos that ensued after that? lol

Hmm...maybe I should have put a can of spray in the car? ;)

Denise...it must be a guy thing! I have taken this week off to catch up on things around the house and while cleaning the garage...I ended up with multiple cans of wasp spray myself! So don't be too hard on him!

I ALWAYS think of Mr. Smart Guy when I see a can of bug spray. The approximately 19 cans when you moved from the townhouse STILL makes me laugh when I remember it!! Good times!! :o)

Lol....Sounds like my husband (only with snakes). Seriously, the man freaks if he sees one on TV; you can't imagine what he does in real life!

And it is memories like that, that will be in our hearts all the way to the end. The ones that mean the most. The moments of complete honesty. Hold tight to those memories and keep them near the heart.
