Year of the Poodle: Big Lug Big Love

Stuff Seth says
Guys say the most amazing things. Things that would never cross my mind in a million years. Or my friend Andrea’s. Here are a few examples:
1. What David said after our run
“Softscrub in the shower works great.” David said. “I use it on my body, on the tiles and if I’m still in my bathing suit I wash that too. I do three things at once. No brainer!”
“How can something that can take mold off your bathtub be good for your skin?” I was mystified by his disregard for the unleashed power of bleach disinfectant yet I marvelled at his logic.
“You do it once a week. It shakes up your cleaning routine, sort of like interval training when you want to kick up your running.”
Andrea brought a plate of fresh fruit to the table and shot me a you-pick-your-battles smile.
You certainly do.
2. What Seth said after I lost 11 pounds
“I don’t get it. I just lost all this weight on my Lemonade Diet and I still have a tummy.”
“Honey, you don’t understand. Weight loss is based the theory of everywhereness. You just lost the equivalent of two 5 pound bags of sugar all over your body. Look, let’s say this picture of a balloon around a bowlegged cowboy is you. Now, we take away the pounds you lost by letting out some air from the balloon. And that’s you!”
“So, you’re telling me I look like a deflated bowlegged cowboy.”
“Yes! And you’re not fat.”
Sigh!
Anybody else with something to share with us? Oh, and if any of you know a better way to scan sketches so they look clean, please let me know!
I write for love and money. It is my everyday passion. What's yours? 



oh, and another thing… this is the dinner party, not the rehearsal dinner. so, bon appetit!
