Scene: The living room. Me on the laptop, Mike in the chair across the room, arms over his head, eyes shut.
Me: (I hear faint snoring-like noises.) Mike? Are you sleeping?
Mike: No, I’m awake.
A few minutes pass. Snoring sounds increase.
Me: Mike. You are snoring.
Mike: Yes, and I’m still working out barbecued meats in my head.
Me: What? Ok, so you’re asleep, snoring, and yet you’re trying to claim to be just thinking about meat?
Mike: Yes. I may have been snoring, but that was what I was thinking about.
Me: I am so blogging this.
See? This is what happens when you read cookbooks like they are novels, especially right before you go to sleep. I still can’t believe he tried to claim to not be sleeping, while clearly snoring. Right…

Mike is SO my hero!
Wow, that’s pretty good. In my little world, there are no thoughts that accompany snoring while awake. Yes, eyes closed, snore noises, but “I am not asleep.” It’s a guy thing.
oh, definitely a guy thing. and did you notice the google ads that appeared with this post? “stop snoring forever” and “anti-snoring mouthpiece.”
He was working out a cooking problem … IN HIS SLEEP!
I think I am going to try and work out my housework problems…IN MY SLEEP!
Hee hee. Too funny! Has he read “Julie & Julia”? Gives you more of a storyline with your recipes… and plenty o’ meats.
What is it about guys that makes them deny being asleep? My dad used to do it, and my husband does it–“I’m not asleep, I’m resting my eyes.” ha!
christine, my husband is “awake” like that ALL the time!
My husband does that too…claim to be awake when he was obviously asleep. Is that a guy thing?
