Better understanding today
Hey. I had a "serious" discussion with hubby yesterday. We had had breakfast, it was just the two of us drinking coffee, before starting projects, and I asked him, nicely, what made him buy me a ring, after all the past history of ring buying and the fact that I wanted a watch... he told me I had shown him a picture of a ring I admired ~ and I did ~ a "past, present, future" 3-stone ring... it was a generic picture, certainly not from the jeweler he chose to go, and certainly not for the price one would expect to pay; anyway, since they didn't have one of those rings, he decided to try and find something else. I guess I can see his reasoning... we can't afford a 3-stone ring for me, it's pure fantasy; I thought he understood this was a "wish list" type of thing that I would buy myself should we ever win the lottery, but I don't seriously entertain the idea of getting one. So, I'm feeling better about his lapse, and can understand it better. I've asked my daughter to keep an eye on his gift giving forays (for me), and urged her to dissuade him from buying rings for me in the future, should it come up...
Now we're wrestling with the decision of home improvement or not. We've refinanced the house once, have a low mortgage, and would like to add on another bedroom, return our garage to a garage (presently a bedroom and bath); I wish I could get an impartial (i.e., no vested interest in the outcome!) expert to tell me whether or not this makes sense for us...
Back to work today; things are feeling more normal, though I could get used to having the days to myself...to do with what I like rather than having my activities dictated to me by other circumstances (WORK!) :)
