I missed my flight. Bound to happen. Of course, Iรขโ‚ฌโ„ขm blaming him. Sent him back three times; cell phone, watch, oxygen. Who forgets oxygen when traveling to Mars?

Sigh. I’ll be there soon.

    This sounds like my husband who is always going back checking and re-checking everything until I block his way in the mudroom saying, “You aren’t going back in there again.” We’ve had some close calls on the way to Mars as well.

  3. like the mars touch. much better than needing oxygen for emphysema ๐Ÿ™‚

    Haha Barbara. Of course you didn’t come out and say this was your husband, but we all know it was! ๐Ÿ˜€

    Bad thing to forget the oxygen, though I’d be more hyper about not having the cell phone! Nice story.

  7. Marie Nicole says:

    That’s the downside to buying tickets at cheaptickets.com. They never provide the oxygen.

    Love the mars bit – short note to let you know why we’re running late, ‘he’ forgot to pack the oxygen… an obvious need!

  15. Tara R. says:

    Men! Always making leaving on time anything but easy.

  16. Wisper says:

    Nice. I like the little twist of going to Mars. Not the impression I got when I read the first line.

  17. Gene says:

    That was cute.

    Besides he didn’t forget the oxygen. A politician was trying to steal it for their next speach.

  18. Trifecta says:

    Right? I can definitely see this happening. Great response to the prompt.

    Congrats, my dear friend!

    Ha! Nice. I like the everyday exasperation over something so out there.
