MRS. CRANKY’s BIRTHDAY
I wish I had
met my wife before I was married the first time. Of course she would have only been nine so
maybe that wouldn’t have worked.
Mrs. Cranky
was born Bloopte-bloop years ago today.
I swear she was born in 1938 based on her knowledge of music and other
things. I seldom think of her as younger
than I because we have so much in common that I think our age must be similar
as well.
We have the
same taste in music, except I like bluegrass and country and she hates
bluegrass and country. She likes music
from the eighty’s. I had three children
at the time and missed the eighties alltogether.
Mrs. Cranky
loves ballroom dancing. I like to watch
ballroom dancers…well I watch the women.
Mrs. Cranky
is half Italian and half Irish. I am
half-assed.
I love
Italian food. Mrs. Cranky is Irish in
the kitchen.
I love
sports. Mrs. C is a Met fan.
I
particularly love football. Mrs. C roots
for the Lions.
My favorite
cartoon is Bugs Bunny. Mrs. Cranky is a
Disney Club member.
I hate
concerts. Mrs. Cranky loves concerts.
Mrs. Cranky
is a human GPS system. I get lost coming
back to bed from the bathroom.
I guess
maybe we don’t have anything in common after all.
Happy
Birthday Karen, I love you anyway!
we have enough in common, don't worry about it! you can tell the number, its 53 (so we are now officially 14 yrs apart) thanks! love you! those guys you have lunch with today better appreciate you being with them instead of me ...
ReplyDeleteI just read another blog where they are celebrating 49 years of marriage today.
ReplyDeleteSeems the key is a sense of humor and mutual respect. Took you two other tries, Joe, but you end up with the brass ring...
I'm still on the merry go round ... dizzy stuff
Happy Birthday, Karen... ;)
Congrats Karen. Hope you have a wonderful birthday.
ReplyDeleteJoe, you'd better hold on to this nice lady. Sounds to me like you married up big time. ;)
S
I know exactly what you mean.
ReplyDeleteI was luckier on the second try.
Congratulations.
Wish your wife a very Happy Birthday from me. Hope you spoilt her rotten for putting up with you.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAREN!! As for you, Joe--apparently the 3rd time's a charm!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Karen!
ReplyDeleteJoe, get back on your head, coffee break's over.
bless, bless, bless her for marrying you! :)
ReplyDeleteThat was super sweet! Happy Birthday to Mrs Cranky! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Mrs. C. You must be a saint to put up with all the crankiness. Seriously, I'm glad you two found each other. Everyone needs a soul mate.
ReplyDeleteA very happy birthday to she who puts up with a lot, Mrs. C.
ReplyDeleteI really hope you show your appreciation by giving her something a bit more substantial than a pink $3 change purse and a box of SnoCaps. Not that I'm planning to ditch my husband any time soon...
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Mrs. C. You deserve a toast of the best dirty-water that New Jersey has to offer.
Happy Birthday Mrs. C! I, too, am married to a man older than I. He's retired, too. While he watched man take his first step on the moon and wrote a report about it in his junior high class, I was irritated that the televised event interrupted my Blinky the Clown program. Or something like that. Hope you had a great day!
ReplyDeleteHere's to Mrs. Cranky on her Bloopte-bloop birthday! May she be blessed with many, many more and you, too!
ReplyDeleteI think I recognice that cake... the family tradition cake?
Happy Birthday Karen and bless you for rewarding Joe with your love (a remarkable accomplishment)!
ReplyDeleteBuon Compleanno Mrs. C......And why is the second time around seems so much better
ReplyDeleteAww..Happy birthday mrs cranky!
ReplyDeleteAwww Happy Birthday to the young Mrs. Cranky. They say that bloopte-bloop is the new blankity-blank.
