We Love To Laugh!: Rob's Train

Rob's Train

I have to admit I fell into the act of impulse buying this passed Christmas season. While I was at the Park City outlets looking for amazing day after Thanksgiving deals, my friends and I came across some toy trains. Rob and I have been talking about getting a train to put under the Christmas tree for years and it didn't seem like something that was going to happen in the near future. Then I found this one. The train isn't fancy by all means but as you can see by the look on my cute husband's face he doesn't mind. He got a train for Christmas! However, like so many other people on Christmas day I forgot to by batteries. Poor Rob couldn't play with his train on Christmas. I blame it on the fact that I am not a mother yet and am not used to thinking of having to have batteries on Christmas day. So to make up for my big mistake I went and bought batteries as soon as I woke up the very next day. Rob didn't waste anytime. I am glad he likes it so much! Merry Christmas Rob!

The trains were impulse buys! Jake broke four tracks in the first hour, so we had to make it off limits. What fun is it to have a train you can't play with?!

Richelleisms

I have to explain what my husband most affectionally calls "Richelleisms". Bascially they are things I do or say that are completely crazy. But my husband thinks they're cute.
**NEW**The other day I was at the dentist winched when my mother-in-law started using the sonic machine. She thought she had hurt me but it wasn't my mouth that was hurting, it was my ears. I told her I could hear dog whistles. Anyway, I came home and was telling Rob that story only I said I told her I could hear dogs whistle instead of dog whistles. Rob couldn't stop laughing. Just because I put the "S" in the wrong place in the sentence. I seriously struggle sometimes.
Rob was making shapes with his homemade donuts and I said, "Oh, you tore off the insects antlers!" Rob then asked me when insects first developed antlers.
Today Rob said, "My finger was feeling weird, so I bit it."
Today I put Dawn dish soap in the dishwasher. I didn't think anything of it. I happened to tell Rob just in conversation and he now calls me Lucy (from the I Love Lucy show)! Luckily my husband caught it before we were knee deep in soup suds. And it only took a bottle of vinegar!
My brother-in-law microwaved the Mrs. Butterworth bottle too long and it started to melt the bottle. Not thinking anyone was listening he yelled “Oh no! I melted Mrs. Butterworth. Now she has bad posture! “
When I was asked if I wanted any sauces by the worker in the drive through at Arby's I said "Ya, can I get roast beef?...I mean, Arby's sauce please". I know, I struggle.
The other day I was taking back a book to the library and saw a mom helping her little boy across the parking lot. Well she looked like a friend of mine so I yelled "Hey I.......DON'T know you. Sorry." The back of her head looked like someone I knew but once I started talking to her and she turned her head I no longer knew who she was. That was a little embarressing.
"I had a black gold fish once."
My husband grew up drink wassle during the holidays. Well I had never heard of wassle before. So a couple of years ago I asked Rob "What's a wassle?" Rob laughed super hard.
For the longest time I really did think buffalo wings came from buffalos. I mean why do they call them buffalo wings if they don't come from buffalos. Well recently I found out they got the name for it because the sauce was created in Buffalo, New York.
One Thanksgiving while I was still dating Rob we decided to make some pies to take to his parents house. You have to know that between the two of us Rob is way better at cooking then I am. I was trying so hard to impress him I wanted to make the pie by myself without any help. Big mistake! I was following the recipe so carefully until I dumped 1/2 cup of salt in the batch. I said out loud "Man that is a lot of salt for one pie." As Rob looked over I checked the recipe again. Yeah, it called for 1/2 tsp. of salt, NOT 1/2 cup! I was so embarressed!
Was that a dog barking or just me?"
More often than not I use the word "Pacific" in place of the word "Specific". It just slips out.
A few weeks ago I was driving down the road with a friend and started to honk. She asked what I was honking at. I said there was a bird in the road and I wanted it to get out of the way so I didn't hit it. As we drove closer to the "bird" we discovered it was just a big rock. Man did I feel stupid. My husband will never let that one down.
As much as Rob says I have Richelleisms he has his moments too. One sunny afternoon we were driving down the road and Rob looked at a sign in front of a bakery. The sign read ON SALE Cupcakes - Donut - Cone - Cakes. Right after Rob looked at the sign he turned to me and asked "What's a donut cone?" I couldn't control my laughter! In his defence they did put Donut and Cone on the same line. :)
