In a sudden onslaught of health-consciousness the DH has started working out and has given up the junk food. Hallelujah!:bowdown: In fact, mark it on the calendar, he actually ate some…fruit for breakfast.
Last night while Girl was at basketball practice. he and I went to the workout center together. Afterwards I went to pick Girl up and he was returning a movie to Blockbuster. Girl and I get back in the car and he’s alerting my Nextel.
DH: Hey, I’m over at the Steak-n-Shake drive-thru.
Me: What are you doing at Steak-n-Shake?
DH: I’m getting an eggnog milkshake. Does Girl want one?
Me: Why’re you getting a milkshake after you just worked out?
DH: The nutritionist at the workout center told me not to eat after 9 at night. He said have five small meals a day and a shake in the morning and a shake at night.
Me: (Girl and I look at one another and burst out laughing) Uh…I’m pretty sure he didn’t mean a Steak-n-Shake shake.
DH: But he said a shake in the morning and a shake at night.
Me: Slim-fast, babe. Nutritional shake with viamins and minerals.
DH: Oh. Well, this eggnog shake is really good.
:happy2::fryingpan:
Got to love him!
I had a co-worker who used to refer to fruit as the “F” word. :happy2:

I like his idea of a shake in the morning and at night.
And I know that’s not good for me either.

Willful misinterpretation of the rules is my specialty.
Thank you, Libral Arts education, for the amazing ability to twist pretty much anything… :happy2:

By the way, why didn’t he offer YOU one?
Comment by Kimberly — December 7, 2006 @ 11:57 am
:happy2: Ginger. Where are you and my man gonna round up a shake at 7a.m? :devil:
Kimberly, my poor DH — when he came in sucking on his eggnog shake I pulled a can of Sllimfast out of the fridge. He demanded I show him where it said it was a shake on the can. Denial can be a powerful thing. :mrgreen:
BTW, he didn’t offer me one cause he’s been married to me so long, he knows me too well. Eggnog milkshake = BLECH. I was much happier with my Leinenkugel Creamy Dark Lager. :thumbsup2:
(here’s my warped persepctive — all along I thought this emoticon was someone drinking a beer, never occurred to me it was a cup of coffee, so I’m just gonna stick with the mug o’barley pop delusion)

LOL - So I guess the nutritionist wasn’t refering to that ’shake’ that happens when I come down stairs in the morning, and again when I go back up at night…
I like your DH’s interpretation, though. :thumbsup:
But wait. Is it possible… that one has caused the other?! :cursing: :wallbash: :doh: (don’t they have bouble chocolate at S & Shake?) :cooldance:

Hey, Barbara, I’ll have the DH pick up an eggnog shake for you as well. :happy2:
Ellen, they do, in fact, have a yummy double chocolate shake at SNS. It is the only one that truly tempts me. I’ve been known to order the jr. double chocolate shake a time or two. :mrgreen:
