Intervention

It's 9:30pm and Heidi is in a mood.  I'll just get to the point here.  She's having PMS.  She sends me to the store to get supplies... chocolate therapy. 

"I want brownies."

"Do you want ice cream?"

"No.  Yuck.  Sick.  I'm so over ice cream.  I don't like ice cream anymore."

"Okay.  (trying to keep a straight face)  I'll get brownies."

"I want ones with frosting."

"Okay - chocolate, or cream cheese?"

"They ALL have chocolate frosting."

"Well, actually, some people make them with creme cheese or butter cream frosting."

"Yea.  Well those people should be tied up and shot." 

I get to the store.  I pick up frosted brownies and chocolate fudge ice cream (sometimes I know her better than she does).  I go to the check out lane.  Dead serious here.  Dude in front of me has two cartons of Ben and Jerry's, a bottle of Midol, and a bottle of wine.  

"Dude, we are so in the same boat."

(He looks at my order.) "Yea.  It's pretty bad."

"Good luck, man."

"You to."
