Me: what should we do now? it's almost 10 o'clock, so I don't want to put another movie in... I'd fall asleep for sure!
Mike: yeah, you have been really tired lately!
Me: I know!
Mike: I wonder why?...
Me: because I've been avoiding caffeine!
Mike: oh, is that it?
Me: well caffeine wakes you up!
Mike: oh, I didn't know that!
Me: yes you did!
Mike: oh yeah... I knew that.
Me: you dork!

The Mike Stories, Pt. 15
Today on the drive home from Hermiston, OR, I was reading What To Expect: Eating Well When You're Expecting. I'm trying to get a jump start on eating right before I become pregnant. While in the car, I got to the section on weight gain, which outlined how much weight women should expect to gain, depending on their personal situation, the rate they should gain the weight, and so on. A part of that section breaks down where all of that weight goes. a certain amount to the baby itself, a certain amount to the placenta, the uterus, extra blood and fluids, etc. Please enjoy the following conversation we had in the car at this point in my reading! ;)
Me: holy crap!
Mike: what?
Me: when I get pregnant, I'm going to gain two pounds in my boobs!
Mike: wow!
Me: that's a lot! TWO pounds! to my BOOBS! That's a pound per boob!
Mike: yes, that's a lot!
Me: (finally looking up out of the book and up at Mike) oh. my. god. just look at the big fat grin on your face!
Mike: I'm not grinning! (still grinning)
Me: yes you are!
Mike: no I'm not! (still grinning)
Me: yes you are! it's because you're thinking about my enormous boobs when you knock me up!
Mike: No I'm not! (even bigger grin)
Me: you are too! you have a giant, ear to ear grin on your face!
Mike: do not! (still grinning)
Me: liar! I can SEE it!
Mike: oh. (still grinning)
Me: holy crap!
Mike: what?
Me: when I get pregnant, I'm going to gain two pounds in my boobs!
Mike: wow!

Mike: yes, that's a lot!

The Mike Stories, Pt. 14
Mike: huh? I wasn't paying attention [the topic was sex]
Me: What planet are you from? You're supposed to be from Mars!
Mike: Wait, aren't you supposed to be from Mars?
Me: No. I'm from Venus!
Mike: How come you get to be from Mars?
Me: I'm not. I'm from Venus!
Mike: Have you read that book?
Me: No.
Mike: Me either.
Me: Venus is a goddess, and Mars is a god. Therefore I get to be from Venus, and you're from Mars.
Mike: ooooooohhhhh. I get it.

The Mike Stories, Pt. 13
Mike has recently taken a strong interest in The Mike Stories, and has even tried to influence them (which seems kind of redundant, since they are about him).
First, Mike took Spanish Mike to the next level, by giving him his very own facebook page. (connect to Spanish Mike here). As you would expect, Spanish Mike only posts in Spanish. The first thing Mike did after creating a page for Spanish Mike is as follows:
Mike: Spanish Mike's relationship status is "complicated"
Me: Yeah, I know. Pat thinks that's really funny.
Mike: yeah... well, you should facebook divorce regular Mike, so you can facebook marry Spanish Mike, since it won't let you have 2 relationships.
Me: how about no.
Mike: but!! you should!!
Me: how about this: when we renew our vows in Vegas, we'll do it in Spanish... then I'll think about it.
Mike: will you wear one of those Spanish skirts?
Me: do I get a Spanish speaking Elvis to officiate?
then he wanted to know if I was reading Spanish Mike's page. I told him I don't speak Spanish. Then he told me I should copy/paste it into Google Translate. I told him that he should seriously just translate for me if he wants to tell me something.
Next up, Mike wanted to help create the title for Pt. 12 (see previous entry)... and most recently he has been trying to promote his own fame. We went out with Marilee & Shane over the weekend to SAM to see the Warhol & Kurt exhibits before they ended, and (since we were meeting Shane for the first time), I mentioned to Mike that he would be meeting someone for the very first time who had known of him first via The Mike Stories. Thinking this was extraordinarily cool, Mike told me that The Mike Stories need a facebook fan page. (he tells me he needs fans). dare I tell him that all of his fans are really my fans, since you're all enjoying Mike through my perspective? figuring i might as well indulge his self interest, you can 'like' The Mike Stories on facebook here. check it out, pass it on, and befriend Spanish Mike while you're at it.
