debate night = sexy time, apparently.

husband is cracking me up this weekend. i love this about him. he has such a goofy sense of humor, which is what attracted me to him in the first place.

this conversation took place last night, shortly after he finished work for the day. it began completely randomly as we were watching tv:

husband: hey, why aren't you naked?
me: because i have clothes on.
husband: well, that's an easy fix.
me: mmmhmmm.
husband: but babbyyyy
me: what?
husband: it's presidential debate night!
me: and?
husband: we HAVE to have sex on presidential debate night!

lol.
though he would find any reason to "celebrate" by having sex, including a presidential debate...there is actually some tradition behind this. as sad & wild as this sounds, during one of the debates in 2004 we decided to start a drinking game. it was just the two of us, and we were bored. every time Bush stuttered or said the wrong word, or just sounded like an idiot, we took a drink. needless to say............we got hammered. with our new drunkenness, we started searching for drinking snacks, and found a funfetti cake mix & frosting. so we're making funfetti cupcakes, drunk, getting batter all over the kitchen....and we somehow end up naked and having sex. in the kitchen. instead of making the cupcakes.

yeah, it was a weird night lol.

i reminded him that this year i couldn't consume any alcohol, nor was i a tiny 115 pound 20 year old with perfect skin and perky boobs and i wasn't feeling quite as sexy*. but, he said in honor of our tradition, he was still going to bake. he made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. they are soooo delicious!

(*i do realize it's not like 10 years elapsed, but it's incredible how pregnancy can really ravage your body)

so, anyway...enough about presidential debate night traditions & back to why husband is making me giggle. you know how i mentioned odin being a wiener? (Odin = my cat, if you don't know) Well, he has really....started acting out. he mauled my gerbera plant for a 3rd time. and this morning? he found the bag of chocolate chips husband used on the cookies last night, dragged them through the house - leaving a trail of chocolate chips - and left the bag at the bottom of the stairs. why on earth would a cat do this?? so we're thinking he's just getting into anything he can, but his weirdness is extending!

i actually felt like doing some housework this morning (im usually too tired or sick feeling to want to do it), and husband took a trip to buy a new video game, buy me a box of mr. clean magic erasers, and pick up asiago cheese bagels at panera. while he was gone, i was scrubbing the kitchen...and i noticed odin had something under the kitchen table. it was matt's golf club cover, which is like a plush husky dog thing. he was repeatedly biting it and humping it!!! he has NEVER done this before! so husband gets home, catches him in the act, and cannot stop laughing. he kept saying things like "odin, stop it, no means no!" lol.

so then he picks the husky thing up, throws it in front of the fireplace and says "at least be a gentleman and do her by the fire or something". lol....oooh that husband of mine.

seriously though. why is my neutered cat, who has been without the proper equipment for 4 years, suddenly wanting to hump things? it's not even the right season for it. i'm starting to wonder if all the flea stuff we've been using on him & around the house (that's not working anyway) is scrambling his brain.

maybe seeing two presidential candidates debating is an aphrodisiac for men? :)
