The 8 hour drive between Vernal and Boise definitely doesn't make getting to know each other in the traditional fashion easy. Since we cannot see how the other person is in common day to day settings Brent has grown to enjoy being on the phone with me and listening as I am doing something to see how I handle the day to day stuff.
Yesterday we made small talk while I was putting up Christmas lights on the outside of my house. While I am not sure that it earns me any brownie points for Brent to hear the occasional expletive slip from my mouth as I walked into the gas meter because I wasn't watching where I was walking or the time I dropped my screw driver (that I was using like a hammer) while I was sitting on the top of the roof. He seemed to enjoy himself and thanks to the miracle of a headset I didn't kill myself by talking on the phone while on a ladder or perched on the roof.

Shandy and I had to laugh. Using a screwdriver as a hammer is something she would have done in the past (ad possibly still would do if I wasn't around). At Ricks, she and her roomate bought an entertainment center and put it together with a table knife.
I still love you, though, Honey.

I do own a hammer. My first thought with the screw driver was that it could help me pry open the clips I was using. When that didn't work I decided to just wack them in using what I had in my hand, a screw driver, since I was on top of the roof.
At least she makes do with what she has.
