God bless my husband

After work tonight, I went to the grocery store to pick up a few items. I got home and Todd and I were in the kitchen putting stuff away.

And completely out of the blue, my husband asks, "Um, yeah, could you get any skinnier?"

Wow. Freaked me right out. Needless to say, I didn't react properly. I should have just said, "Aw, thanks, Honey. That's nice of you to say."

But what did I do? I spazzed out. I asked him what he was talking about and where did that come from? I said, "This is the same outfit I've worn several times before. I don't think I look different from the last time I wore this." And then I said, "The word 'skinny' and me do not belong in the same sentence." He just stood there looking somewhat dumbfounded.

And then I realized what I was saying and doing. I apologized to my kind husband and thanked him for the compliment.

What an ego boost that actually was.

God bless him!
