So many times I’ve sat down to write about my husband Paul. All I can say is that the man is chaos. I love him to death, but I have never seen or met anyone that even comes close to him. Sometimes I wonder how he ever got through life before he met me!
I’ll give you a perfect example. A few years ago we were driving along when he realized his gas tank was almost empty. Now that’s nothing new….you know that little light that tells you that you only have about 5 more minutes and then you’re going to run out of gas? Well, that’s when Paul fills the tank.
So, we’re driving along and the little light comes on. We get to the gas station and Paul has no idea what his pin code is on his debit card, (he usually calls me to ask me that!) so he goes into the station to have them run the card as a credit card. Now here’s another thing….he fills up his tank about 4 times a week. Want to know why? Because he only puts in $10 or $20 each time. I’ve told him he could save a lot of time and aggravation if he’d just fill the darn thing up, but no, he’s even stopped and gotten $5 worth.
Anyway, while I was waiting in the car, I was on my cell and not paying attention. The next thing I know, he gets in and we drive away. Perfect right? We’re off to wherever we were going and we have gas….WRONG!
About 10 minutes later I noticed the little gas light on and told Paul. He then realized he had paid the guy but drove away without filling the gas tank! OMG! Is he for real???
So, he drives back to the gas station. I guess we were lucky he didn’t run out of gas by then. He runs back into the gas station and tells the man what he had done. By that time I am hiding under the seat because I’m too embarassed to be seen with him! I can just imagine the guy laughing his butt off at this crazy guy in front of him!
So, we got our $10 worth and off we went.
Just another day in marital bliss!
