We've Been Found Out

Well, looks like our footloose and fancy-free days are over. My husband has just discovered I have a website. He was out of town on business and during our daily phone call asked me what my web address was because "a friend wanted to know." The next day when he called he was quite surprised:

"Hey, I went to your website. I didn't know it was so fancy."
"You've never been to my website??" I asked.
"No. Was I supposed to have?"
I said nothing.
"I saw your blog," he said. "And I read about that trip you took to Europe. Did you put all those pictures and stuff on there?"
"Yes."
"How do you know how to do all that?"
"I'm one smart cookie."
"You posted a photo of me without permission. I'm suing."

Then, he sends me an obscene email via my website because he was hoping it wouldn't reveal who it was from and he was hoping to freak me out. (And it would have, too, but all the emails show who is sending them. So, I knew right away.)

Well. I got another "anonymous" email from him tonight claiming I was his destiny because my favorite book is To Kill a Mockingbird and his favorite book is Death of a Hummingbird. Then he tells me that it's just like a woman not to realize how ticked off Josh would be when he got dumped. Then he says he doesn't need to read a book to know what the measure of a lady is: 36-26-32!

If he figures out how to post a comment, we're goners because I guarantee you he will use a fake username and will post outrageous things knowing that I have to be polite and politically correct.

... Oh, no! Oh, no! I just checked my emails. There was one from him. He's trying to figure out how to post comments. [insert Beethoven's 5th]

Jezreel said...: That SO MUCH sounds like my husband. He likes to leave comments on my guest book and stuff like that. I can just imagine the comments my husband would leave on my blog if I let him...
Barb said...: Actually, e-mail can be a great, fun way to communicate with a spouse, esp if you've gotten out of the luv letter habit. Assuming you put more in your e-notes than "Please bring some eggs home, dear!" I'd give your hubby a trial run on the blog and see wutcha get!
Jezreel said...: My hubby and I always e-mail one another while we're at home - and we live in a 950 sq feet house! I could walk the 20 feet over to his computer, or talk to him over my shoulder, but e-mail is so much fun!

Oh, and Dee, you can check out my review of The Measure of a Lady on my Review blog (linked from my profile).
Meg said...: This is hilarious! I'm afraid to tell my husband. It might give him ideas about my blog.
