My long suffering spouse...

Den of the Beastly Bear

Hi folks!
Today I thought I'd introduce you all to my lovely wife, Mama Bear.

Ain't she Purty?!?

I say long suffering because she really has had to put up with my twisted sense of humor, TV/Commercial rants, and my off color comments/sexual innuendos for many, many years now!

She really can't take me anywhere...

For example:

We got an invitation to a house warming for a home my wife's company had built(she worked for a builder). This was a very nice, very EXPENSIVE home...elevator included!

The owners had bid on a wine and cheese tasting party as part of the local PBS station fund raising drive, and won.

They coordinated the party for the day of the housewarming.

They graciously invited not only their friends and family, the builders, and all the sub-contractors that worked on the home!

As we rolled up to the home, we parked my Dodge truck well past the Mercedes, Audi's, and BMW's down by the other trucks owned by the contractors. So it was quite a walk up to the house.

As we walked up the walk to the front door we saw my wife's boss Bob coming towards us walking with a man we didn't know.

Now my wife's boss is a SUPER guy!!! He treated my wife and I like family, and to this day his daughter is one of my wife's closest friends. 

As he walked up, he greeted us and said

"Kathy, I'd like you to meet Dave ______. He and I go way back...

Dave, this is my Office Manager Kathy...I truly don't know what I'd do without her! This is her husband, Joe."

Dave stepped forward, we shook hands, he stepped back and gave my wife a thoughtful look.

"By God you look familiar, but I can't for the life of me put my finger on from where!"

I said "Oh, you must subscribe to Penthouse..."

To Dave's credit he barely skipped a beat.

"Um...ah...no, that's not it...Hmmm, I'll have to think about it"

Bob chuckled, my wife cracked me on the arm with a "stop it".

WTH? You'd think she'd be flattered by my suggesting she could pose for a Gentleman's magazine...sadly that was NOT the case! :-)

Then there was the time we were refinancing our home.

In the mortgage company's office signing our lives away...

Our loan officer passed the papers to my wife and said

"You must also list your Maiden name, as well as any other names you may have gone by."

As she started writing I said "Honey, you don't have to put down your stripper name...cause "Cinnamon" was not your "legal" name, right?"

This last was addressed to the loan officer, (a younger fella in his mid thirties) whose mouth fell open as he furiously blushed from the top of his salon hair do to the tips of his Brookes Brothers wingtips.

"Um...ah...yes, um that's correct sir...that would not be necessary!"

This time she just said "Well then, I just won't put that down.."

We've been out with other couples, I'm just being myself and cracking jokes...being a smart ass and making inappropriate comments. We are having a great time, laughing our asses off...

When the woman of the other couple will say something to the effect of "Oh my God...he's so funny, I bet he makes you laugh everyday!!!"

To which my wife usually says "Try living with him!"

I think this happens a lot.

A friend of mine and I were just discussing the other day how you never seem to see two extremely boisterous, jovial people together.

There is always one "normal" person...and one "me"!!!

So to all you normal folks, I'd like to truly thank you for putting up with the rest of us!!! Where would we be without you?

Love ya Hon!

Be Well Folks!

Beastly Bear
