The Daily Chris: He Lost the Dog Walker’s Check, edition

Chris lost the check I gave him last week for the dogwalker (what is WITH guys always “misplacing” everything?!). I told him to leave Marty a note that we’ll drop it off this weekend, so he crafted this lovely masterpiece.

Obviously he did not ask for my feedback before sending this memo.

Hey Marty,

I am embarrassed to say this but Meg lost your check and said she will look tonight when she gets home. She has been extremely cranky lately and not a stellar girlfriend. Just last week she yelled at me because the closet was messy and even hit me in the face. I guess that’s what 4 bottles of red wine a day will do that to you.

I know I know, I deserve better….but as they say, love is blind. I feel so scared. Anyways, I’m sorry that Meg has been absent lately…I apologize on her behalf and will make sure you get paid this weekend.Please leave me your address so I can drop it off first thing Saturday, if I make it out alive.

I feel a punishment coming on… If a check is not dropped off to you by 12:00 Saturday, call the cops at 12:01, and in the mean time, pray for me, and all victims of abusive girlfriends. Make sure you make sure Miles is safe too. I think she screams at him when no one is around.

Nah.

Anonymous asked: why doesn't Chris like NYC?

ed note: I love anonymous questions that are completely unrelated to anything I’ve posted about.

Well, if I was to answer objectively, I would say Chris along with many others do not prefer NYC due to:

- The insane cost of living

- The fact that we’d have to sell almost all of our belongings to fit into a 500 sq ft closet (if we’re lucky)

- Black boogers. Daily.

- The sheer shock of NYC public transpo after just buying a brand new car

- The sheer shock of NYC public transpo in the summer. Even if you’ve lived here forever.

- The sheer shock of thousands of people being all up in your ‘bidness 24/7

- The Yankees.

However, the true answer to this question as it relates to Chris and I, is that we have never been ones to move somewhere strictly for location. We love Connecticut and are very happy there; so we’ve always been a bit more calculated about our next steps. I.e. if one of us is to get the opportunity of a lifetime somewhere, we will go for it if it makes sense for us. 

The move to NYC made sense for me. I love my new job and it was a really great decision. Chris has his own really fun updates brewing that don’t currently merit a move to the Big Apple. 

We’re coming up on three weeks in to this new adventure and we’re both loving the arrangement so far. Having a weekend escape in the ‘burbs has been magical, and Chris is loving the opportunity to (finally) be Miles’ favorite.
