Venting on a Happy Note

[PrincessFiona60]

In the cake that is a happy marriage, secret gloating is a main ingredient. Unless the spouse is very dense, he/she appreciates what's not said and values his/her mate all the more. Sounds like PF knows the cake recipe "by heart."

I was very careful to not say a word when he told me they were too small and I did not offer to go get the larger ones. He started digging around for the zip ties, when he told me they worked fine I just said, "Good." No sense in rubbing salt in a wound...

You can't fool me. You're saving that "I told you so!" for another time when it will have more impact.

Who? Me?!? I would never do that!

I was thinking the same thing. It comes under the heading of pick your fights. This wasn't one.

ROFL!

Humping all these boxes (remember, the 1000 cookbooks must weigh a ton), kitchen gadgets, clothes, etc. down the stairs at the farm, out to the car, out of the car, and into the other house (down in the basement, 50 ft. to the living room to park the boxes of cookbooks until the bookshelves are in place) translates to who needs to go to the gym? That flabby underarm that you watched with fascination while your almost-ready-to-retire teacher wrote on the blackboard in grade school--not happening any more. My biceps are killing me. Where are the friends I helped move? Why is the DH suddenly too busy in the greenhouse to help move me back to the house in the city? What did I do wrong?

Decided to move...

I've never understood this being a problem. Just get him his own tube and let him make a mess with his own toothpaste. Of course you might have to hide your tube.

I was just kidding...we've always had our own toothpaste tubes. I think the one he uses tastes like soap.

We got our couch today! Our primary living room furniture is now all here. And it's all fluffy-butt approved. In fact, he's very reluctant to give up his spot in the chaise and will steal it back as soon as it's empty again. Here are some photos. We're not sure if this is going to be the final arrangment or not.

Nice furniture set up!

I enjoyed an evening to myself for 3 hours last night. Dh went up to work on his late parents place & the daughter had a school dance. I had a free pass to a local fittness center. I throughly enjoyed the hot tub, steam room & pool.

We have cat towels, both cats will not drape themselves unless one of their towels is on the spot. Took me awhile to convince them of this, but it works.

Nice looking furniture, but my first thought was how much fun most cats have digging claws into leather

I'm part cat, so I understand how nice it feels to sink claws into leather.

 

[purple.alien.giraffe]

He doesn't have his front claws and we file his hind claws down so they aren't sharp. It was more protection for any kids he came in contact with than anything else but it has it's side benefits. We actually have never had much trouble with him clawing stuff. Also, the furniture isn't leather, it's a really dark brown, very smooth fabric that feels similar to distressed leather or suede.

Feeling good today. I got into the dentist & he put some medicated gauze on my missing tooth space. I could hardly believe how instantly better I felt.
