Someone stole my heart(s).
February 18th, 2008
I like artichokes. A lot. I eat em like penny candies. But you know, they’re not cheap! A tiny little jar, costs what… $5? So I don’t often indulge.
Heidi, knowing my fondness for them, got me a GIGANTIC jar. Seriously, it was huge! She thought it’d make a fun “just because” type gift. When she presented the jar to me I said, “Holy cow, did we win the lottery!?” Turns out they were just a smoking deal, courtesy of CostCo.
So… Later that day, we dropped my car off at the dealership for some routine maintenance. We picked it up, and headed back home. I popped the back-door handle, ready to lift the jar off the seat and take it inside like a new baby, but then… my heart sank. IT WAS GONE!
Who would steal a jar of artichoke hearts?!?!?!
And, it’s not like we can call and complain. I’d feel stupid. “Uhmn, yeah… There was a jar of Artichoke hearts in my car when I dropped it off, and now it’s not there.” Phone jockey, “Sir, with all due respect… who would steal a jar of artichoke hearts?”

It would only happen to you.

tj timothy john meninkus hooperton uhl (or however it goes)… what can I say… I had no idea that you loved artichokes. I am so sorry for the sad news. I will mourn along with you and maybe next time I am at Costco I will grab you a new jar. I know, that’s why I am your favorite sister-in-law (on your side, who knows, maybe Heidi’s sis is way cooler than me).
Love you both! aim
