I was filled with excitement as I waited for Doc H to return home after his long day at the hospital. As soon as he came through the door, I ran to greet him at the door following our dog's lead. I gave him a kiss and looked him in the eye to make sure he got a good look at me.
Me: How was your day?
Doc H: Exhausting.
Nothing.
He continued on to complete his "I just got home" routine: "hi" to what ever kids are home at the moment, keys on the counter, a quick rifle through the day's mail, upstairs to change. I continued cooking dinner.
He came downstairs and joined me in the kitchen. Time just ticked away. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. His inner-ID must have been screaming the warning, "NO NOOKIE ALERT! NO NOOKIE ALERT!" at him, because Doc H poured me a glass of wine as if he knew he would need to dull my senses a tad.
I drank the glass plus some.
About an hour passed... and finally(!!!!)...
Doc H: Did you get your hair cut today? (cut!)
Me: What?
Doc H: (Now he's giving my hair a good look) Did you? (He's a little panicked now, he knows he's a little weak in the 'notice the wifey's hair' department). Did you get your hair cut?
Me: ...snarky laugh...
Doc H: You didn't?
Me: ...snarky laugh...
Doc H: You did. You got your hair cut.
Me: That's it? ...I went blonde!
Doc H: Well, you didn't have to lie about it!
Me: I lied?! I didn't lie!
Doc H: You didn't tell me when I asked.
Oye vey.
I ask you... who won the buck?
LOL I say he definitely didn't notice in the allotted time frame that is allowed to be considered as him "noticing"! He did a half decent save near the end asking if you "cut" it, but even then didn't notice the colour change. So unfortunately, I would say Cindy won the bet! (she said he wouldn't notice right? lol) So funny though :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you! And I did think it was funny. Thank goodness I have a sense of humor, otherwise it would've been the doghouse for him!
DeleteTell Doc H he let me down!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA!
DeleteI don't think guys notice anything different at all. When My husband knows I have a hair appointment, the first thing he says when I walk through the door is, "Hi Sweetie, your hair looks great!" I don't think he even had a chance to look up from the TV before saying it and it's a "cover all your bases" type of comment. I think Cindy won the bet.

OOooooo! You married a smart one. He nips any chance of discord in the bud!
DeleteI am the worst wife ever.... it takes me week to notice my husband's hair post cut. Usually our conversation goes as follows:
ReplyDeleteMe: Oh you look handsome.
Doc: Thanks
Me: Did you loose weight?
Doc: A bit I squeezed my fat ass into those dress pants my dad gave me. (Last nights conversation word for word I swear.)
Me: Good for you! Yeah you look different.
Doc: Yeah they went a little shorted this time.
Me: OH you had a hair cut!!! I knew something was different!
Doc: Seriously? You are so oblivious.
Me: What I haven't seen you in daylight for 2 weeks. BTW keep up the trauma rotation diet.
LOL! That's funny!
DeleteHaha- I dyed my hair blond this week and my husband was like, something is different! Men!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear I'm not alone! :)
