That’s What He Said

November 28, 2014 by Kim Dalferes

Psst! Hey, it’s me, the Hubs. Kimba is off snoozing away in a turkey-induced tryptophan coma. She left her blog dashboard open! I’m grabbing what may be my one and only chance to set the record straight regarding a few things.

Kimba is a great storyteller as well as a fabulous wife, mother, and friend. But over the years she’s gotten a few things wrong during her tall tale telling. Examples include:

I do not snore. Well, I don’t snore all that loudly. OK, let’s say I do snore a little loudly, but my snoring has never knocked the cat off the bed. OK, maybe just once.

I am a brilliant fisherman. Yes, Kimba has caught King salmon way bigger than mine. That just makes her lucky. I’m talented. Dammit, I am.

I am a tough guy. Just because I rescue kittens, drink margaritas, love babies and listen to Celine Dion doesn’t make me a wuss. Anyone would look a little wimpy next to this:

I have a lot of stuff, I admit it. But you don’t see me complaining about her 24 little black dresses and 30 pairs of black shoes.

Kimba is really not all that neat. You should see the top of our bathroom sink.

I happen to be an excellent driver. Kimba, on the other hand, just sayin…

Shhh, here she comes. Be cool.

Pray for me,

The Hubs

PS: honestly, who doesn’t love Ms. Dion?

    wow!! real fishermen listen to celine dion — whodathunkit? What a prize catch you have!

    • Kimba says

      December 1, 2014 at 3:55 pm

      Yep, he’s quite the catch! 🙂

    This was BRILLIANT, so funny!! Thank you for sharing it with us.

    • Kimba says

      December 1, 2014 at 10:31 am

      Thx for stopping by Summer – and I just checked out your detox tips, so perfect after the weekend I just had!

    Too funny. My husband wouldn’t dare take over my blog for a day. I am, though, working on helping him start his own blog — Grandpa’s Shorts to be the partner site to Grandma’s Briefs. 😀

    • Kimba says

      December 1, 2014 at 10:34 am

      Grandpa’s Shorts – love it! Maybe my husband’s blog could be “His Side of the Story”

    You sound like a very good sport, “Kimba’s Hubs”! My husband would love to set the record straight himself, but he has no idea how to get into my blog and I’ll never eat enough turkey to go into a food coma and foolishly leave the dashboard open. 🙂

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    • Kimba says

      December 1, 2014 at 10:35 am

      You are a wise woman Jackie. But, maybe let him loose just once, could be fun!

  5. Lois Alter Mark says

    November 29, 2014 at 4:12 pm

    Ha ha! I can’t even imagine what my husband would post but am not too worried because he probably wouldn’t be able to figure out how to do it! Nice fish, by the way!

    • Kimba says

      December 1, 2014 at 10:37 am

      Thx Lois – the Hubs really is a pretty talented fisherman, I’m the one who tends to tell the fish tails/tales.

  6. Toni McCloe says

    November 29, 2014 at 4:09 pm

    I love that post. It was so much fun to read (although it took me a minute to figure out what was going on.) You both have a great sense of humor,.

    • Kimba says

      December 1, 2014 at 10:39 am

      Thx Toni – most days we are able to make each other laugh, key to a happy marriage!

    November 28, 2014 at 9:01 pm

    Another great blog post, whoever be da author !

    • Kim Dalferes says

      November 29, 2014 at 12:01 pm

      Thx Hon. Now, about that driving comment…

  8. Marquita Herald says

    November 28, 2014 at 6:53 pm

    Too funny, and no doubt way too late to keep this a secret from Kimba. Wishing you both a happy holiday weekend. 🙂

    • Kim Dalferes says

      November 29, 2014 at 12:02 pm

      Hi Marty – hope thing are fab this weekend in your neck of the world.

  9. Karen says

    November 28, 2014 at 2:20 pm

    Great stuff, Kim!

    • Kim Dalferes says

      November 29, 2014 at 12:07 pm

      Thx Karen – hope your holiday is going well.

  10. Diane says

    November 28, 2014 at 2:01 pm

    This. Was. Wonderful!!! Oh, I laughed! Thank you for brightening my day!
    P.S. I can only imagine what my Husby would come up with. Locking my blog site as we speak . . .

    • Kim Dalferes says

      November 29, 2014 at 12:11 pm

      LOL Diane, you never know, your Hubs might surprise you.

  11. Lynn Hasselberger says

    November 28, 2014 at 12:54 pm

    funny! I can only imagine what my hubs would write.

    • Kimba says

      December 1, 2014 at 11:33 am

      Yeah, never can tell what’s running around in their pretty little heads…

  12. Susan - ofeverymoment says

    November 28, 2014 at 12:22 pm

    Great post! Everyone else in my family was in the turkey-induced coma while I wrote today’s post… maybe I should have awakened one of them to write it for me!

    • Kimba says

      December 1, 2014 at 11:37 am

      Yeah, maybe next I’ll let my son write a guest post, hmm….

  13. Suzie Cheel says

    November 28, 2014 at 10:51 am

    That was so funny, what a great start to the day and I love that fish

    • Kim Dalferes says

      November 29, 2014 at 12:15 pm

      Haha, yes Suzie, the Hubs is quite proud of his fishing skills.

  14. Carol Cassara says

    November 28, 2014 at 10:31 am

    I can see why the two of you are together! A match made in comedic heaven!

    • Kimba says

      December 1, 2014 at 10:43 am

      LOL Carol – laughter sure is our go-to glue to keep the relationship working.

  15. Mary says

    November 28, 2014 at 10:16 am

    Love it! Just last night I asked my significant other if he wanted to guest post. He got this look on his face like a child going into a candy store. Then after a few minutes he said he would have to think about it.

    • Kimba says

      December 1, 2014 at 10:44 am

      Pls let us know if he decides to guest blog – could be the new thing to do, Hubs Guest Blogging!

  16. Rena McDaniel says

    November 28, 2014 at 9:55 am

    Hahahaha! This was hilarious! There should be a day when we all turn over our blogs for one day to our hubby’s just to see how dumb they would turn out. Like a project or something! Hope you weren’t to hard on him!

    • Kimba says

      December 1, 2014 at 10:48 am

      Well, Hubs did cook the turkey this year, so I guess fair is fair.

Hello!

Author photo #2 in colorI hope you enjoy your time here and that you come back often. Wondering what makes me tick? This favorite quote from one of the grand dames of writing, Erma Bombeck, might help: Hook 'em with the lead. Hold 'em with laughter. Exit with a quip they won't forget. This seems to be a good overall life goal, don’t you think?

Kim Dalferes’ Latest Book…

Crazy Southern Irish Gal Two-Book Bundle

Humor writer Kimberly “Kimba” Dalferes dishes on a wide variety of topics–from days of her youth spent blissfully on the shores of Florida’s beaches to menopause and empty nests–in her nonfiction collection Crazy Southern Irish Gal Two-Book Bundle. In both titles: I Was In Love With a Short Man Once and Magic Fishing Panties, Dalferes’ crazy Southern Irish gal perspective inspires her illustrations of life’s quirky twists and turns. Together, these books offer descriptive and colorful essays on subjects such as getting a tattoo in midlife, unique uses for kitty litter, handling a rabid bat, public speaking gone wrong, and naked hot-tubbing in Vegas. Dalferes skillfully weaves what at first glance may appear to be dissimilar themes into a tapestry that invokes her life’s motto: live out loud, laugh often, and ‘occasionally’ drink tequila. Now available through Amazon Kindle.
