in the cage

w/ nic cage.

yes. i refer to certain snl skits... a lot. but only certain ones these days. most snl skits are just super crass nowadays. but the aforementioned skit is def worth watching.

my husband and i have a like/hate relationship with nic cage. i like some movies he is in, i.e. family man, con air, etc. c.krill just hates him. it may have to do with the fact that he just isn't a fantastic actor. you really can't compare him with a tom hanks or a russell crowe. i'm not hating, just speaking reality. c.krill hates that he shouts most, if not all, of his lines instead of speaking them. you haven't noticed this? now you will.

this post isn't about nic cage, believe it or not. this post is mostly about c.krill. you see, he agreed to watch jr for four days while i lived it up in colorado for babyfest (see previous post). this was over his actual birthday. what a guy. but where he doesn't really care for birthdays, i do. i am a BIG birthday person. all c.krill needs is a hug and a kiss, maybe a meal, and he's happy. if you get him chipotle then you have exceeded his expectations. i threw him a party a week before but that wasn't enough for me. so for his actual birthday, i had nic cage invade the home. c.krill has a pretty dry/sarcastic sense of humor so he could appreciate this:

can't see him?

there he is! on the back i taped a word that describes c.krill and then wrote a little something about him. he loved this. trust me people... husbands like to know that their work doesn't go unnoticed. i hung the rest up in places c.krill frequents the most. 

(a cup or ten of coffee anyone?)

(a little music goes a long way in this house...)

(please excuse the unfinished bathroom. we ran out of pallet wood :/ )

(if you needed a closer look in the bathroom)

(he sees you. he sees everything. a little accountability maybe?)

(rest and reclinement- not a word.)

i did all this while he was getting a massage. 

mad wife skillz right here. more like mad birthday skillz. besides the massage, this cost next to nothing. all you need is a creepy pic of nic cage, scissors, printer, pen, paper, tape and a husband you can say nice things about. that last one is important. 

also, i can't take credit for the idea of the creepy nic cage, though it fit right in with c.krill's and i's ongoing joke. i saw this on... you guessed it... the internet. i came across it while looking for a clip of in the cage with nic cage. sometimes i get on the internet so i can laugh. sometimes i need it. we ended the day with a date. it was needed and we both ate too much. that's life i guess. 

as i sit here writing a post, i notice the drooling monster getting into the maple syrup and strawberries i left on the table this morning. obviously lacking in the mad mom skillz this morning. excuse me, it's bath time.
