My husband has made a fatal error in the world of spousal behaviour and I will never let him forget it. This is a good thing, believe me. Let me put it into context. We were discussing the clutter in our house and how it makes no sense to spend money on things that collect dust i.e. So then we talk about spending money on things we don’t need. He says, can you believe this, "I can understand spending money on jewelry." Stop, forever preserve those words of wisdom, carve them in stone, shout them from the rafters – "I can understand spending money on jewelry." Wait, he tried to backpedal, "I only meant that it’s better than spending on something that collects dust." Too late, my dear.
This is the same wonderful man who told me that the cost of knitting needles doesn’t count as an expense as they are necessary tools for my hobby. Alright, so he was trying to justify the cost of his lathe, the necessary tool of his wood working hobby. I’d have to buy a lot of needles to compete with his lathe. Maybe I already have. If not, I could put the money toward jewelry. I’m keeping this guy.
I’m over my funk. Thanks for all your wishes. We had visitors over the weekend – our Vancouver Island friends, whose daughter was married the same day as Elina, can you believe it. We were out of touch for a few short months, enough time for the girls to set the same wedding date. We shared pictures, good wine and great memories.
Something to make you smile, my sister’s first scarf, off the needles and onto a cooperative model:
