Sally:
I’d much rather go down the road with hubby than go on a shopping spree!!!…ugh!!!..shopping!!!..yuk
And I thought I was the only woman in western civilization who hated shopping… I’ve never gone in the truck with Patrick. His company doesn’t allow passengers, and I couldn’t go because of the kids anyway. Maybe when they’re older. I used to go with my ex quite a bit… and wasn’t impressed… but I"m sure that was more to do the quality of his company (or lack of…) than it was the trip itself… 
I try to take an interest in what he does, but it can get old fast when its ALL he talks about. It isn’t like he’s searching the web looking for nursing or psychology forums to join so he can understand me better lol… but thats men for ya!
