a story from the hubs

There are a couple of things keeping me from being myself today, (this week, so far this year, whatev) but that's not why you dial up The Kerry Blog every day, now is it?

So, today I have a story from my dear hubs.  I don't often write about the hubs, because I get in enough trouble as it is.  

Here are a few things to know about Mr. Faler: 

• He first struck up a conversation with me at Pizza Tech in the Student Center of Louisiana Tech when I was standing under a sign that said "Pick Up."  He took the sign as a sign apparently.
• Favorite beverage: every single beverage ever made.  You know how when you're meeting someone for dinner and you get there first and order them an unsweet tea because you know that's what they drink? I wouldn't even try it.  If I got him a tea, he would have wanted root beer.  If I got him root beer, he would have wanted a real beer.  If I got him a beer, he would have wanted a cosmo.  
• He never knows what a movie is titled or knows any actor's name.  Actual conversation from before Christmas when he called me from Salt Lake City: "I watched a good movie tonight." Me: "oh, really? What was it?" Hubs: "Iron Man is in it with that black guy who was in that movie."  You see what he did there, right?   Me: "Robert Downey, Jr."  Hubs: "Yeah, he was a reporter.  And the other guy plays a fiddle."  Me: "Will Smith?" Hubs: "No, Ray Charles."  Me: "Hon, I'm pretty sure Ray Charles is deceased."  Hubs: "No, he WAS Ray Charles."  Yeah, that clears it up.  Me: "Oh, Jamie Foxx."  Hubs: "Yes!  That's him!"  Me: "Glad we got to the bottom of that one."  It was The Soloist.
• What he SERIOUSLY wanted to name our first child: Andromeda.  

Now that know you the hubs a little better, you know that he's as random as it gets.  He lost his glasses and has narrowed down the places he must have left them to exactly Starbucks (watch, I'll find them in his Explorer).  He calls me yesterday to relay this story:

He went to Starbucks to check if he left the glasses there, since he's convinced that's where they are.  

He asks the barista, "have you had any glasses turned in?"

She replies, "sure, could you describe your glasses?"

He says, "they're roundish, made of glass-like material."

Barista says, "we haven't had any like that turned in."

I told him it was Starbucks, not Eyemasters.
