WIFE'S DIARY:
Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had
made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for
dinner. I thought he was upset at the fact
that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it. Conversation wasn't flowing,
so I asked him what was wrong; He
said, 'Nothing.' I asked him if it
was my fault that he was upset. He
said he wasn't upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about
it. On the way home, I told him that I
loved him. He smiled slightly, and kept
driving. I can't explain his behavior. I
don't know why he didn't say, 'I love you, too.'
When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him
completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with
me anymore. He just sat there quietly, and
watched TV. Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to
go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to
bed. But I still felt his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep; I cried. I'm
almost sure that his thoughts are with
someone else. My life is a disaster.

RANDOM THOUGHTS
 When I’m quiet strangers think I’m shy. People who
WHEN YOU TREAT PEOPLE LIKE THEY TREAT YOU THEY GET SO UPSET
know me think, “OMG, he’s thinking! Everyone run for your lives!
 There was a cupcake in the
fridge and a note saying, ‘Don’t eat
me!” I ate the cupcake and left a new
note saying ‘Don’t tell me what to
do!”
 That’s it! I officially resign
from adulthood.
Decisions will now be made using the
eenie-meenie-minie-moe method and all
arguments will be settled by sticking out
my tongue.
 Sometimes I just want someone to hug
me and say, “I know it’s hard. You’re
going to be okay. Here’s some coffee and a check for $5,000,000.
 Don’t worry. Dance like no
one is watching. Everyone is
on their phones. No one IS
watching.
 Kids today
have no idea how easy they
have it. Why, when I was their age, I
had to walk 11 feet through green shag
carpeting to change the TV channel.
 When I’m sad I start to sing. It
always helps to realize my voice is
worse than any problems I might
have.

* Sardinia, the second-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea,
also is an autonomous region of Italy. If you ever
decide to vacation there, keep an eye out for "casu
marzu," a cheese that's produced locally.
Whether you're keeping an eye out in order to sample it or avoid it depends on
whether or not you have an appetite for adventurous eating. The makers of "casu marzu" deliberately introduce into the process the
larvae of a particular cheese fly. Though the
cheese is sometimes cleaned out before it's served,
it's often presented in its original state, wriggling maggots and all.
