That Time My Husband Was the “Hey Girl” Guy

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Ryan Gosling has been retired as the “Hey Girl” guy, and bloggers across the InterWebz are promoting their own special man into the role! With an upcoming linky party to celebrate the new twist in the “Hey Girl” phenomenon, you know I had to take part. Plus, given the chance to have Mr. Magpie say all the things he would never (and I mean not ever) say, I couldn’t pass that up, no way no how.

So, without further ado…

I present to you…

Mr. Magpie doing “Hey Girl.”

Take it away, Mr. Magpie!

I would have done more, but it’s really hard to get pictures of Mr. Magpie. Why? Because he’s always like this:

Which kind of makes up for the fact that he never says things like the Hey Girl man says.

Either way, I really REALLY should be nicer to that man.

Love, Angela

    Does Mr. Magpie know your showing his pictures on the internet? 🙂 Looks like there been some changes since I last saw you. I owe you hollyhocks seeds. I may need to drop them by and take a peek. I’ll wait until we are better here though.

      Thank you, Melinda! I have to be honest that as I was looking through all those pictures I realized how hard he’s worked around here to make our home the way I want it. It’s pretty generous. I hadn’t really thought about it before! ~Angela~

    Laughing OUT LOUD. By myself, at my laptop. You are HI-larious. I love how he actually looks like he’s saying those things you wrote on each photo. The second one about cuddling in bed with pinterest had me rolling! Thanks so much for the laugh!

      Thanks, Amy! Yep, that one is my favorite. He was in the middle of tearing out the old dining room floor at the time, but when his little girl needs a hug, well, that’s worth taking a break for. 🙂 ~Angela~

      Hahaha! Thank you. Yes, Mr. Magpie does have skills — I really really lucked out on that one. I’m not sure he’s *quite* as happy about it as I am. He jokes sometimes that he wishes he hadn’t told me about his handy abilities when we were dating! Ha! Just in fun, though. He likes getting things done. ~Angela~

    He doesn’t need to say hey girl things; looks like he’s busy doing the hey girl things. That’s sweet seeing all those pictures, and the one at the end tops it off perfectly!Liz

      Liz, you are so right. No, he’ll never offer to Pin for me (though he looks at mine if I ask him to), and he’ll never want multiple trees (though he’s gotten them for me anyway), and he’ll never *suggest* beadboard though he’s installed it for me. I’m very thankful. It still tickles me to think of it, though. Hehehehe. Thanks for stopping by! ~Angela~
