last piece

My husband has eaten the last piece of pizza.

I called this pizza. I owned it. I, who have time for neither lunch nor dinner today, was saving the pizza for a mid-morning snack to help me make it through the day.

It was good pizza. It was Amy's Organic Pizza
Yummy, healthy, and totally gone.

Then, he tried to regurgitate into my hand so I would stop chastising him.

I think I will write a lament, a la William Carlos Williams and those plums. And get a new husband.

What was that? I'm sorry, I didn't hear you. I was busy munching on this delicious slice of pizza.

I hate you. I really, really hate you. You are _definitely_ cooking tonight.

Also, clean the living room before anne and Dave get here.

I don't think it's particularly equitable to get a new husband because of this transgression - and you have a pretty great one now. Are you sure you could get one as good? Make a ploy for the spaghetti sauce, i say. ;)

Okay, just to veer off the subject -- "Divorce Magazine"? What the hell? Is that a weird subject for a periodical or what? I mean, sure, Liz Taylor gets a lifetime subscription, but does anyone else need this magazine for more than a few months? (No remarks about how long it took me to get my divorce done, please, I'm in charge of the cheap shots here)

Or are you supposed to pick up an issue of Divorce at the newsstand after a particularly nasty argument and leave it lying on the coffee table to send a message? "Honey...? Is this some kind of joke? This is a joke, right? Honey?"

Plums! Did I ever show you my video? And yes, those two thoughts are related. I interpreted that poem into a short film piece for a class last year. Make me show it to you at Thanksgiving! :D

You know, this blog entry (along with Mike's reply) almost qualifies for inclusion in The Onion's Op/Ed section...
