Not Really a Rant, but too good to pass up

I'm finally writing again. Hopefully it lasts.

So, I'm sitting at my desk with my brain (my laptop) in front of me, typing away (actually trying to get out a paragraph or two for UW's IF) and my husband is lying on the bed. Yes my desk is in the bedroom, our living is just too small for it and my bookshelves. The dog is running between rooms the kids are in the living room and she doesn't know who she wants to be with us or them.

My husband opens his eyes, and asks me, "What is she doing?"

Being a smart ass and not hearing anything suspicious and definitely no sounds of arguing, mortal combat, serious injury coming from kids or dog, I reply, "I don't know, I can't see through walls."

Hubby, not satisfied, gets up to investigate and comes back shrugging his shoulders because there is nothing to be found. Lies back down, but does not close his eyes.

"$hit! That what it is!" he exclaims, as he is looking at me typing.

Of course, I found it hilarious, endearing, and annoying all at the same time. And just had to share this small glimpse of my life. Though I'm still wondering how typing sounds like the sound of shredding carpet, which he confessed is what he thought he heard.

SJ, I wonder if your hubby knows mine through the baseball forums? Mine reads at quite a few, and is in a couple fantasy leagues at last count. Fortunately, his computer is in the living room, so that at least we aren't competing with each other for computers or typing sounds.

Me and my DH have only one computer instead ... an overloaded one! Sometimes we also argue like children in order to see who can use it first! And now even our kids are getting in the way!

That's why I try to use it when he's at work and I'm at home and that's why I do not have such an ample time to do so, as during the day I have my own work to do! Regarding the typing sound, it's my DH that gets bothered! I type so fast that, as you said, Amethyst, it really sounds annoying at times! My DH types with the speed of the snail and I always like to make fun of him! He has to look at the letters first ... or better, he must search for them before pushing the right key! And he makes mistakes just the same! And to say that he works on a computer the whole day at work preparing Excel sheets, reports and so on! I sincerely don't know how he manages to do that in time!

LOL... we have four people and five computers here! I have a Mac, DH has a PC, and we kept two of our old PCs (from when we upgraded to new oes) for the kids. Then DH has his MacBook for work. It can get quite noisy in the computer room on weekends!
