let's stick with the "hot" part of that equation...lol.

Shocked, I answer the phone with, "Hey Baby, whatcha callin' for in the middle of the day?"

"Just checkin' on my girl, makin' sure you're doin' okay."

I tease, "Aw, so you're wantin' to know if it's safe to come home tonight?  Checkin' on the mood, huh?"

"I didn't say that exactly, but you gotta admit you were a hot kettle of fish last night."

"So now I'm being referred to as a 'hot kettle of fish,' good to know..."

Thanks for sharing this yummy pie. When nicely written, humour tastes delicious.

stephen - he is funny and wonderful for even calling when i'm moody.  i love him dearly.  and thank you so much for the compliment - i haven't really tried to get in mags or newspapers, but i would love to! :)

Hot kettle of fish? I think that's funny and the guy has class for calling. Excellent post. Your writing is the kind I read in magazines or newspapers. Are you published?

[bolton carley]

lol, teresa!  he might have been worried about knives, but he's always well-intentioned.  he doesn't call very often, but definitely knows when i'm needing a pick-me-up.  he's a very perceptive one!  i know how lucky i am even when i am a kettle of shit. :)

I'm just shaking my head at the fact that you get calls like that, "Just checkin' on my girl..."  I think he could call me a hot kettle of shit for making such sweet-intentioned calls.  Or maybe he was just calling to make sure you weren't sharpening knives.  Teehee...

HE DID! :)

YUCK about the car situation. Did he really say, "hot kettle of fish"? I can totally hear it! :)

[bolton carley]

thanks, bill!  he's actually a really good sport, but it's a good thing i don't get offended easily either! :)

angela - i was upset because my writing hasn't been going as well as i'd like and i have to go back to work this week and some idiot hit a semi tire tread that flew into my car and dented it.  just a minor meltdown kind of night. lol. :)

mike - thanks!  and fine was more likely than hot! :)

gita - like that term! :)

Too funny.
