Somewhere along the line, I've turned into Dear Richard's secretary. Yesterday he called me from Tunica, MS to ask me to email some reports from his computer to his cell phone. (This trip, he went from Oregon to Mississippi to Tennessee and is coming home tomorrow.) It took me a while to find what he needed, but I got the work done and got it all emailed out to him. So then this morning, he called me to thank me for getting those reports to him. I said, "Well, dear, you know, you did pay for them." Silence. And then, "What did you buy?"
There was a cookbook that was hawked on QVC on Wednesday night. I don't buy from QVC because the shipping is just ridiculous. So I go to Amazon and I always get it cheaper. I paid a little over $12 at Amazon for the Southern Living cookbook that I wanted that was on QVC for well over $20 with the shipping. I told Rick what he bought to pay for my secretarial services.
And it went like this:
Rick: You bought a cookbook?
Pam: Yes
Rick: Is it a good one?
Pam: I think so.
Rick: Will I like it? (He doesn't care about the book itself. By this, he means, "Will I like the food that you make from this cookbook?")
Pam: Yes.
Rick: Are there cookies?
Pam: Yes.
Rick: OK!
Evidently, as long as there are cookies in the book, I can pretty much get whatever cookbook I want.
I just love that man.
