I've recently taken up running. And I kind of hate it. It's boring and it sucks, but it is a quick form of exercise that you can do anywhere. And when we were snowed in I could even do it on the wii and run around their pretend island. But I was complaining to Doug about it yesterday and said, "seriously, the only time I want to be running is when I'm running away from a bear."

I started a new medication that has a warning on the side of the bottle that says "call your doctor if you notice sudden mood changes, depression, sadness, or fear." After reading that last night I said to Doug, "I get the sudden mood changes or depression, but sadness, what if I should be sad? Like what if something bad happens?" And Doug replied with, "or what if something genuinely frightening happens? Like you see a bear?" And I said "exactly. Should I sit around and wonder, am I afraid of this because of my migraine medication or am I genuinely afraid of this? Should I call the doctor and ask if it is ok to be afraid this?"
And Doug, said "maybe that would be a good time to run."
It is probably a really good thing we married each other, because very few other people would think we were funny.

Phil and I often find ourselves in similar conversations, ending with, “It’s a good thing YOU love me, because no one else is gonna.”
My husband and I freak people out. I will say “Hey, can you hand me a soda?” and he will say “Absolutely not.” And I will then say “Why do you hate me so much?” and he will shake his head and very slowly say “So many reasons.” And everyone in the room gets all quiet and awkward. And then we laugh cause they just DO NOT get us.
Also, running sucks. Even the little Mii on the Wii can’t motivate me to hate it less.
Hahaha…awesome story. I think you two are very funny.
This really had me laughing out loud, and heaven knows I needed it. Thanks!
I do think you two are funny, but that’s the kind of humour I “get” and enjoy. HEHE.
I could just picture it… you sitting around and wondering wether you are genuinely scared of if it’s just the meds…
I think you’re funny. I don’t want to marry you, though. I don’t believe in polygamy.
I think that if you see a bear and feel happy, you should also call your doctor, because that can’t be normal.
LOL! Sounds like conversations that go on in our house also
We also have the “Why do you hate me” conversations – thankfully most of our friends are used to it by now
running is seriously a creation of the devil.
I personally found this funny. So there ya go. New hard drive coming today – watch out, lotsa posting coming!
