Marriage Survival Tips - Deciding on Dinner - Pamela Reed Wedding Photographer

A recent conversation in our household. Disclosure: husband is a chef.

The Mundane of Marriage

me: What do you want to do today? (his day off)

Kevin: Well...yabbers about absolutely nothing related...

Me: First order of biz...what and when do you want to eat? (and the mundane begins)

Kevin: Mexican sounds good but our regular place is closed (Taqueria Guerrero)

Me: There are other places. We do have tacos we made in the fridge.

Kevin: I have to check if the hamburger meat is still good. (still sitting in a chair with no movement towards refrigerator)

Large gap in conversation as we stare at our electronic devices, feverishly reading.

Me: What do you want to eat?

Kevin: I don't want Asian or Pizza. Pasta ok.

Me: I don't want heavy, fattening food. How about crawfish?

Kevin: Our boil was cancelled.

Me: We can go to Rouses and get some.

Kevin: But they don't come with the fixins'.

Me: They package them separate. We can buy them pre-made.

Kevin: (crickets chirping)

Me: Go to the refrigerator and check our shit and see if it is okay to eat.

Kevin: ok

Me: Is the stuff ok?

Kevin: Yes.

Me: So what are we going to do about eating?

Kevin: Jesus f'n Christ...I thought we already resolved that.

And what are we going to eat? And we wonder why our day flies by and nothing gets done.
