Ernie and the Electric Blanket...
Posted: Thu Nov 05, 2009 12:39 pmThis is the continuing saga of Ernie coping while I'm away....(or maybe not coping.... 
) Last week he calls asking me where do I put the electric blanket on the bed.... 
I said "on the bed"....He says....well, how? on top or on the bottom? Well I finally figured it out and he wanted to know where in relationship to what layer it was on the bed.....so I said...after the sheets and before the comforter..... So, that crisis was solved..... Last night around 9:30pm, he calls...first he wast talking so fast and not making any sence (sp)....in fact, I didn't even reconized his voice.... ....so he yells at me...."You don't know who this is even after 32 yrs...." 
....well, then he slowed down and I found out "Part 2" of the "Electric Blanket" story...seems he didn't plug it in when he put it on the bed....so now he wanted to know where all the plugs and controls were....again, after explaining where they were and how to hook them up....he got it done.....I think he's had enough of me not being there.....good thing I'm heading back Sat........I just had to share....and give ya' all a little laugh....we sure did here....

Ernie is going to get the controls switched around..when he goes to bed he's going to crank up the blanket and not get any heat on his side of the bed...keep turning it up and will still be cold...and Lori's side of the bed is going to be toasty warm. How do I know this 
I've done it...I kept turning up my control and was getting colder and husband was in the "well done mode" and had turned off the control on his side of the bed. Of course...that was before I was experiencing my own little private summers in the middle of the night! 
oops, forgot about the broken ribs, she did....
