Venus vs. Mars

Men and women don't think alike. :) Well, maybe I should qualify that and say, The Mister and I don't think alike sometimes. Here's a funny story and good example of what I'm talking about, in case it never occurred to you that male and female minds work differently. lol.

.

I got a new laptop a few months ago. The Mister took my old PC off of my desk and "put it away". I found someone who could use my old PC..a blog friend who's computer died...so I decided to plug it in and make sure all of my stuff was deleted before packing it up for shipment. Well, the monitor and computer box were in the attic but nothing else! I emailed The Mister at work and asked about the cables and the rest of what I needed. He replied that it was all in our second pantry, with the extension cords and light bulbs.

.

I looked in the second pantry, only to find one of the cords. Not wanting to waste my time scouring the house, I waited for him to come home for dinner. To make a long story short...

  1. The computer and monitor were in the attic.
  2. One cord was in the pantry with our extension cords.
  3. Two other cables and cords were in the water heater closet with the mop and broom.
  4. The keyboard was in the hall closet with the hats and gloves.
  5. The mouse was in a dining room buffet drawer with the napkins.

Yep, I was speechless, too! I still am, in fact! LOL.

    I think that story could be repeated in a number of households! Here, if I lose something I only have myself to blame. I still haven't worked out how my spectacles ended up in the oven one day though...Luckily it wasn't on!

    LOL One question...was there really any thinking involved here..or was it just absent-mindedness! ;D

    Julie ~ you know, I didn't ask. Although when he couldn't find the keyboard himself for a while, I think he knew how amusing it all seemed. He didn't give any logical explaination. I was kind and just smiled as he looked around the house for all the parts and pieces. lol.

    I can't even imagine his reasoning at the time. Probably he can't either. Haha.

    And, Don would have a perfectly good reason (to his thinking)why he did what he did.


    Great Story!!!!!!

    Betsy,
    Did the Mister really put your computer parts in all those places....
    OR
    Did the triplets help him? ;-)
    Just a thought...
    Take care,

    P.S.
    Its spring....for today in the Rocky Mountains. A nice sunny, but cool day.

    2 Moms ~ oh no, the triplets would have hooked up the computer and used it! ha. They would never dismantle one. But nice try...I'll let The Mister know you thought of him and gave him the benefit of the doubt. haha.

    thanks for the comment on the video I made
    But I didn't mean to cause a facade
    I paid to have the voice done
    So it wasn't me having the fun
    I just wrote the script and did the pics
    Wasn't meant to casue any tricks
    As I can sound good too
    But don't have the hardware needed to do
    Anyway that is very funny
    And for a lot of people right on the money
    But not me as I'm very aware
    Putting everything in one spot in my lair
    Even my over 2000 movies are in order from a-z
    Yes I know that's sad for me
    Well off I go to write a new blog
    Then I can go sit and watch from my log

    Sounds like The Mister had other things on his mind when he was stashing your PC! You know what they say about the poor darlings being able to do only one thing at one time.
