Lesson 102-Hobby Lobby Workout

Me: I don't feel like going to the gym
Hubs: So don't

an hour passes

Hubs: Did you go workout?
Me: Yup...at Hobby Lobby
Hubs: :-)
Me:  But I only spent $21
Hubs:  That's good.  What did you get?
Me:  Crafty stuff
Hubs:  Thank goodness that store is in your life because I don't know what you would do without it.  It's like me and the xbox


Yeah...ok.  Hobby Lobby is way more cooler than playing video games.  Guys just don't get it.

Lesson 85-Lessons Needed

Confession:  I have no self-control

Remember last week, Helena over at Life in the Pitts, had this superb idea of having a little imaginary shopping spree and not buying anything? Well, she must have a heck-of-a-lot more self-control than I, cause that very day I headed back over to the Vera Bradley website and ordered my very own…and this time I did hit the ‘check out’ button. But I just couldn’t resist this beauty. For one, I love Vera Bradley bags. Husband says it looks like Vera Bradley threw-up in our closet. Two, it was part of the ‘Paris Collection’. Hint: if you want to sucker me in to anything just add the word Paris to it and I’m sold. Three, the description likened the bag to something Audrey Hepburn would have used.

Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE her. She is the epitome of grace, elegance, and beauty in my opinion. Four, it was on sale. The combination of these things, how could I not buy the bag?

Me: Can I buy a new purse It’s on sale…40% off

(Please notice I did not tell him the price before or after the discount. I decided the 40% of would sound better without a price. Also, I’m not sure if it really was

40% off—I’m not so good at math, but it seemed close enough that it would be

okay anyways)

Hubs: Yes ma’am

Me: Sweet!!!

Hubs: :)

Out came the debit card and not 5 minutes later had I received an email confirmation in my inbox Hey, at least it wasn’t shoes!

Lessons learned:

• I must work on self-control.

• Until I’ve improved my self-control, no more pretend shopping sprees.

• If I want something, tell Husband the discount, never the price (before or after)

• After a little math equation the discount was actually closer to 35%

• Said math equation reminded me how much I truly despise math

Lesson 71- My Children May Have Nightmares

Last night I was put to bed early by Husband due to a headache that was threatening to morph in to a migraine.  After laying in bed for well over an hour I sent Husband a text message (he was in the living room playing XBox).

Me:  I can't sleep

Hubs:  I'm sorry

Hubs:  You can come watch me play my game

Me:  You will not come see me?

He came in to talk to me for about five minutes.  And then returned to the XBox.

(About an hour later)

Me:  I'm still awake

Hubs:  Soon the little sheeps of heaven will take you to sleep land

Me:  That sounds creepy

Hubs:  I know

But apparently his creepy vision of sheep coming down from heaven to help me fall asleep did the trick.  But I still think it's creepy.  We'll need to work on bedtime techniques before we have children.
