When will I learn?
Right now, I am slightly annoyed with myself because I never seem to learn the lesson that I constantly put upon myself.
One is I told hubby since he has not had a new computer in a long time, he could get a new one. He had told me how they had come down in price and are really cheap, blah, blah, blah....
My friend needs a new computer and he found one for her that comes with a monitor and a printer for under $500. Of course, the one he wants for himself is $1500!!! It does not even have a monitor (got a new one last year for Christmas) or a printer. What!!!??? What happened to the lower price? $1500 is not a lower price when it is more than the one he bought before. This always happens, he says something, I agree and then I regret it later.
The lesson I have not learned is if I give the go ahead to get something, don't whine about how much it is going to cost because I already gave the go ahead. (He deserves it because he has been doing well saving money by taking a lunch every day to work).
The other lesson I have not learned yet happens late at night. I am in bed sound asleep when I wake up and I am cold. Hubby has rolled over and take the blankets with him. I try to grab one of the four blankets we have and pull it toward me only to have my hand slip and bonk me in the jaw!! So, now, still no blanket and my jaw hurts and I am really cold. You would think I would put a fricken sleeping bag on the bed and be done with it but no...I still keep hitting myself in the face. Then I wake up grumpier than normal.
Now that I got this off my chest, I am going to look for a snowmobile suit and a football helmet to sleep in.
Bye!

You should file these tips away for when you get marritt Hoot.
I'm not getting married, Nanny, it's an outdated institution. I might just live with someone.
Well, then you naughty girl, you'll have to put up with stuff like this for free! Young people!
Tell Betty you think I need a new computer too.
Hon, what do you mean you don't say the right words or post them enough? you got to be kidding right? you always make me feel better Lori. you and your family are great friends who always support me and make me feel like a million bucks..american currency at that, lol..
thank you my sweet. for being there for me and for caring so much...
we all agree to purchases and then find that it is alot more..i think that is how anything get purchased..and the blankets thing, that is just funny..i have been there since i shared a bed..no matter if it's one of the girls sleeping with me or Joe, they steal..i have found a bit of what works for me. i bought the biggest size i could find. i have a queen bed but have an oversized king size duvet..duvet is the other thing, because it's fluffy and heavy it is harder to just grab and pull...
i read your son's hair post. he is adorable. he will be a great boyfriend, friend, husband. my sons noticed my ever move to..how sweet is that they notice eh?
hope Bree is doing better. hugs, kisses to all.
Hi Lori, I'm sorry I havn't gotten by before now. I really appriciate and value your kind words. I am trying, so hard, and want Jack to look down and be proud of me.
I think its ingrained in humans, that we agree and regret, or disagree and regret... but I'm with you, 1500 is a lot! and if he said a "good deal" he should have been more specific! As for the blankets... when I make our bed, its Joe's blankets, and mine, totally separate. I don't share blankets at all.
Put some ice on your jaw! hope it feels better. (and I'm sorry, I laughed, I've punched myself too)
Put an extra blanket on the side of the bed. Helmets would be uncomfortable.
Dual control electric blanket.
Lori, you did sucgh a great job of sharing this scene I just about fell out of my chair laughing -- but only because I have been there and done that. Keep a wonderful, snuggly extra blanket o your side of the bed.
And I must admit that as I read abou the price of the new computer I found myself wondering about the vacation fund.
Lori all I can picture is you in a football helmet and a snow mobile suit sitting at a 1500.00 computer typing!! Are you smiling? lol
I sooo hate 2 be cold! My husband goes around OPENING the windows all day and night! It's 50 degrees out!
SHUT THE WINDOWS!!!
He doesn't even shut the heat off when he opens them....I can just imagine my gas bill :"(
:)
My what a great post you have! I will stop in every day....wait a minuite....there is something familiar about you.....
Sent by Dr. John, a guy who has too much time on his hands and thinks the rest of us do, too (just kidding...we love going to his link picks!).
ha ha ha ... better get the sleeping bag and make sure you zipper it up, or else he'll take that too!!!
dr john sent me!
I learned a long time ago that if you want to stay warm at night- get your own blankets- never mind trying to share with hubby. Sleeping men are not sharing men.
And, of course I came here from Dr. John's marathon, where dragons fly and white rabbits in sweaters run for Mayor and from Mrs. Trumble.
Hehe, lots of Hubbies are like that. CPU and the covers! I keep a throw folded up and hiding under my side of the bed in the winter for this very reason. Plus he is very tall and likes to sleep with feet covered. I like to sleep with feet out and covers cuddled by my neck. The blankets and sheets get more of a twist and spin then they do in the wash!! It's either sleep upside down or have my own blanket stash.

(Stopping by via Dr. John whom I bet steals Betty's covers!)
Hi, Lori! puff, puff just jogging through in the Dr. John Marathon. Don't forget to post a comment on your own blog for those ever valuable JC points!
Playing six degrees of Dr. John.
So do you get his old computer?
Hey I've been taking lunch to work, must have a word with wifey, Dr John sent me today.
I so know where you are coming from with the computer issue!AHHH! No matter what we have it will never be enough for some reason.
It sounds like you need some protective gear to sleep in. It will keep you warm and safe! LOL! Lately Sugar keeps putting her paws on me and her claws hurt and I incorporate the pain into my dreams, like being bitten by a snake.
Well boys and their toys its got to be big and shiny or it's no good Dr.John sent me
I laughed so hard reading your post. I think our husbands might be clones....'cept mine throws all the covers on top of me so I wake up thinking I'm having a hot flash.
Sprinting through on Dr. John's marathon trail.
back again! Running Dr Johns marathon...you are his link of the day.
hello angel. hope you are having a happy wknd.
wonderfing how Bree is doing lately. have the meds helped?
hope you haven't had to sleep with a helmet or a suit..
dr. John sent me here..know him? :)
$1500 for a PC??? I'm in the biz, and I'm telling you, it better be a high-end notebook for that price, or someone has seen him coming (if you know what I mean)!
And now that you know, maybe your hubby should wear the football helmet for a while, eh? ;)
I needs some tips on how to convince the hubby to let me buy a new computer.. he just doesn't understand how fast they are outdated. He claims he can't even turn one on.. but I've caught him. He can work it when he is looking to buy something for himself.
Dr. John's marathon?? who has the time.
