As I traveled on 94 W the traffic was bumper to bumper. I had a headache that stayed with me for more than half the day,and I felt pretty worn down. I thought I'd never get home. Watching the woman in the Red subaru put her lipstick on after the second time made me realize I hadn't moved more than 4 feet in the last half hour. what the heck was the holdup? The screaming baby 2 lanes over must need a nap by now, can't they keep her quiet. the sun has to be draining her, you'd think they'd have a pacifier for her.
Honk Honk!, finally movement. I couldn't get home fast enough. Just as I approach the doorway, Ringggggg, Ringggggg, Ringggggg, hmmmph, Jim, what does he want now. "Hello". "Listen Regina, I really need you to hear me out about the boat. I spoke with the salesman and he's giving me until Friday to give him a down payment". "Jim, I told you, I do not want to hear about that boat anymore! my head is killing me and I am sick of going through this same argument over and over again. We cannot afford a boat Jim, we have too many other priorites and boarding the SS JIM Be Slim is not at the top of our list". "Listen, I just got home and I need to get in the house and relax, I'll see you when you get home from work".

The door slams behind her. "oh, hello Divine", their 3 1/2 pound chihuahua races to her feet clawing to receive the hugs and kisses she's been missing for the last 8 hours. Picking her up, she places her keys in the bright orange bowl that accents the beautiful coffee table. "How is my sweet today?" Ringggg, Ringggg, Ringgggg, picking up the phone, "Hello". "Honey, I'm stopping by the store on the way home is there anything you'd like me to pick up?" "Sure, can you grab a cantaloupe for breakfast in the morning and a bag of treats for Divine, she's running out". "Yeah sure, it seems she's always running out."

Rinnngggg, Rinngggg, , "Yes, Jim, what is it now?" "Hello", "Hello", Regina hangs up the phone. Dropping her body into the oversized Laz-y-Boy she received as a Christmas gift 2 years ago, Regina drifts into a welcoming sleep.

The Ford-150 Silverado awakens regina out of her slumber. Seconds later Jim shoots through the door shouting, slamming it behind him. "Listen Regina, I'm the man of this house, I work hard to take care of the two us and every now and then I deserve to have some of the things that I want. I don't ask for much, just a few things here or there. Hmmmph, if you think about it, when was the last time you even remember me buying anything? I can tell you, September, 2000. And, aint nothing gonna stop me from gettin this boat"

"Jim" I'm tired. Had a headache most of the day, and on top of that, when I got in my car to head home in this 90 degree weather my air conditioner went out, and you kept calling me" about a boat that we can't afford! Regina hops out of the Lazy-Boy, and walks toward the bedroom. As he follows behind her, she screams and slams the door in his face.

alright, already . And not one of those thousand times I called, you ever mentioned to me that you weren't feeling well...sorry, but its such a good deal I don't want to pass it up. I just wanted your blessings and all. Aww, the boat, this boat is so magical I could put you on it right now and it would take your headache away instantaneously... so I'm assuming your slamming the door in my face means, "yeah go for it"! Thanks babe!

Regina sat on the bed with her head in her hands in discuss! When all of a sudden the bedroom door opens (Jim standing there with a crazy look on his face) "Jim please I don't feel like arguing anymore today". Jim still standing in the doorway with his hands in his pocket. "I didn't come home to argue with you either," "I thought you would have been excited to hear that all I have to do is put the down payment on the boat and then I would be-able to get it". Regina in a soft spoken tone, "But I thought we had already talked about we couldn't afford it. "No Regina you said we couldn't afford it, not we". Regina was silent for a minute. "Well, we can't , can we?" (Regina hoping Jim would say no). Jim sat down on the bed beside Regina with a smile on his face, took his hand to turn her face towards his, "Yes we can". Regina still looking him in the eyes, says "how can we, especially now that my air conditioning has gone out?"

"Regina listen, I'm really sorry that you're not feeling well this evening, I'll make this quick, so you can get some rest." "I wanted to surprise you but things don't always go our way." "I finally got that raise we'd been waiting on, so I can get your air conditioning fixed. Can you hold on until the weekend? "Really Jim?" Oh great! of course I can. I guess the boat won't be such a problem after all." Giving Jim a light kiss on the lips, Regina changes into her night clothes and slips under the the lavender scented sheets that ocassionally helped with the chronic headaches that had become a little more noticeable the last few months.

Leaving Regina to rest, Jim goes into the kitchen to put the champagne away he bought for their celebration. He grabs a heiniken from the fridge, chips from the cupboard, pulls up a seat and checks out the daily sports page.
