Today was a fairly busy day for me. I went into town and that always takes up some time. I didn't accomplish anything here at the house though except that I got all the Christmas boxes full of decorations put up. And I did manage to straighten up the back porch some.
The weather man said we had one more day of spring-like weather before old man winter set in. (January is our coldest month) I dread the cold. Late this afternoon Kevin and I played in the yard for a long time and then my husband went out to start up the grill for some porterhouse that I had for our supper. I went out to where my husband was cooking and the following conversation pursued between husband and myself.
Me: Can you believe it? Here it is January 8, Elvis' 74th birthday, and here we are outside; Kevin with no shirt on, me in a pair of shorts and sandals and it is in the 80's.
Husband: So what does Elvis' 74th birthday and being warm have to do with anything?"
Me: I rolled my eyes at him and huffed Men! Don't you know Elvis' birthday and being warm has everything to do with one another." It is an oxymoron don't you see? Elvis' 74th birthday, that means it is January. January means it is winter. We are outside, Kevin is shirtless, I'm in shorts, it is spring weather! Like I said it is an oxymoron, Elvis' birthday and the warm weather.
Husband: All I know is you are talking like a moron. Is the rest of supper ready? Steaks about done.
I went in and thought about what I had just said and decided it was one of two things. Either I was tired or I was a moron.
Happy Birthday Elvis.
