The other day the husband let me in on a little secret.
He said after many years, he has finally figured me out.
He believes that…
When I call him and I start out with “hey” it means something is not going my way and he needs to play Captain Save-A-Mom.
Or if I start the call off by saying “hi” it means I’m up to no good (aka want to spend lots of money).
But if it’s just a “hello” then it means I’m in the mood to just chat.
Sending me on unsupervised trips to Costco, Target, BevMo!, etc will result in purchases of several items not on the shopping list.
I will not get out of bed on a weekend before 9am if there is not a coffee from Starbucks (or Purple Bean a local coffee shop) on the night stand waiting for me.
Now that he has let me in on these little secrets of wisdom he has figured out I think it’s time to switch things up a bit.
But what should I do….?
Maybe I should drink a Cowgirl Razzberry-Tini while I think about.

I’m sure there’s more to you than that…….. my husband hasn’t really figured me out. Well, at least that’s what he makes me think.
Hmmmmm…………

Of there is more to me. I also get very grumpy if I haven’t eaten.
When he’s also figured out his mother and mother-in-law he may be on to something.
I doubt that will ever happen.
This made me giggle.
Hi. Let’s go shopping

Hi. I would love to go shopping with you.
He broke the number one rule of marriage- never reveal your secrets unless you want to have them exploited! Okay, not the number one rule, but he’s just ASKING for you to switch things up, lol.

He doesn’t have this figured out after all. He should know by now that you don’t reveal your secrets.

Maybe one day he will learn that.

Silly boy! Doesn’t he know there’s no secret? We change on a daily basis. What he thinks he knows now will be different next week. And, that’s the way we like it!
By the way, I need to institute a rule of no getting out of bed without Starbucks waiting for me. THAT is the best thing I’ve heard all day!

So he thinks he has figured it out? Let him think he did. You know and I know that it’s pretty impossible for a member of the dude-society to really understand what females are thinking. He may be up to some surprises in the future with three ladies at his side.

Love it, he’s a smart one huh, only 13 years. After 16 years what I’ve figured out with Glenn is when we’re alone I do most of the talking and in a group he does the talking. The more people there are the more he comes alive.

It seems to be the same with me and my husband. I’m always quite in the group setting and he isn’t.
Hahaha!!! That’s too funny. I think I do the same with my husband too

Time to change it up.
I’m not going to let my husband read this. Because I don’t think he’s put together these things about me yet. But I know that I do them too.
And yes, you have to change them now! Just to throw him off.

He is getting smart! You should have different greetings from now on – just to throw him off his tracks.
p.s. That pic of the ‘crazy in need of saving mom’ – your guns rock. Can I have your arm muscles?
I feel like Bev Mo is a store out west that needs to make its way east.
Elena recently posted..Adventure Boys
Those guns are the result of carrying around Layla for the last almost 3 years.
BevMo isn’t in Nevada but every time I go to Cali I have to visit the store and stock up.
For the record, a Cowgirl Razzberry-tini is never a bad idea…
In fact, I’m going to make a list of things I need to think about, too.

So, what does it mean when you start by saying, “Hey baby…” Or maybe you don’t do that. That would be a good change.

Nope, never say that. He wishes though.
I love that he has been thinking about your words!

It’s a great trick to get me out of bed.
It’s really very sweet that he pays enough attention to understand what your greetings mean. Over the years, I’ve learned if my husband calls me from work before noon, I should answer the phone, “What’s wrong?”
Also, you guys are some good-looking folks.
Julie recently posted..Dear Scrumplet
I hope he rarely calls you before noon.
Every time my husband says he has me figured out he is usually totally off or at least I tell him he is. Love those pics of you, especially the last one. I can’t believe I haven’t visited in ages. I’ve been a terrible blog-reader lately. Sorry!
Jessica recently posted..Two More Days
Ha! I like that you tell him he is off on figuring you out.
Don’t apologize, I’ve been a bad blog reader lately too. Life gets in the way.

Hahaha! The problem with men is that they think they can figure us out, then brag about it and that is where they go wrong!
Mirjam recently posted..Extravagant
Yep, the bragging is definitely what gets them.
So funny that he thinks he has you all figured out.
I wonder if my tells are like that. I know that when I need something, I call Hubs and immediate ask “Are you in town?”

I think it’s sweet that he’s figured out a few things about you. I wish my huz would tune in to me a little more!
I don’t think the drink is worthy enough to be featured on One Martini at a Time, but huz and I thought it was yummy.
I made a vodka drink a couple days ago – first time in many years. I thought of you, of course

This is such an awesome post! I think all men get smarter with time. My husband is starting to figure me out, finally, after all these years!
Sounds like it’s time for you to switch things up too.
No matter what they think or say, men will never really figure us out.
But I think it’s sweet that he is trying
