One of my all time favorite TV episodes was the Baggage episode of
Everybody Loves Raymond.
It portrays the pinnacle of a couple’s
passive-aggressive fighting with perfection.
They share a suitcase on a weekend trip.
When they return it gets placed on the stair landing.
Where it sits for days, and then weeks.
Clothes that were packed inside the suitcase they start wearing.
But no one moves the suitcase.
What does it say about
me that I am playing this
passive-aggressive game with
myself?
I brought home my suitcase.
I placed it in the masterbath.
Where it has sat for days…6 days…almost a week.
Clothes that were packed inside the suitcase I have started wearing.
But no one moves the suitcase.
Blog-Stedman is
unpacked.
The boys are
unpacked.
The rest of the house has attained
Nirvana-neutral status.
Yet
my suitcase remains…
In the end of the Everybody Loves Raymond episode, Raymond is leaving for a weekend trip and does this:
Can anyone lend me some stinky cheese?
LMAO…ummm yes chesse = wine it;s a win win situation!
LMAO…ummm yes chesse = wine it;s a win win situation!
LMAO…ummm yes chesse = wine it;s a win win situation!
LMAO…ummm yes chesse = wine it;s a win win situation!
Ahem. Chris got home from a business trip one week ago today. His suitcase is still in our bedroom. Unpacked.
This is so me! I will come home from a trip and continue to get ready from the suitcase and overnight bag.
I LOVE THAT EPISODE! It SO speaks to me and my husbands relationship. I will TRY my hardest to ignore something just to see if he will do it… but inevitably he waits me out and I do it just so I don’t have to look at it anymore.
come to find out he REALLY could car less and was not playing the game… it was me… against… ME. Errrr
A patient told me that when he and his wife divorced, his wife made a big fuss about keeping the expensive custom drapes in their (now her)home. On the day he moved out she wasn’t there. He took down the drapery rods, stuffed them with shrimp and left.
This is also one of my favorite episodes of Raymond. Probably my favorite since it is the first one I remember when I think about the show.
That wouldn’t work with me. I’d be downing the stinky cheese with lots of wine.
