Frequent Discussion in Our House


Husband comes home from work....

Comes out of the bathroom after changing and says~

"What are those old things on the ground in the bathroom?"

Me: "They are {baby} urns...they are VERY hard to find"

Husband: "Why did you buy those?"

Me:" I have been looking for them for a lonnnnnggg time."

Husband: "Just like you have been lookingggg a long time for that plate with the nest on it that I passed coming upstairs."

Husband: "You didn't need all that."

Me: " I couldn't pass it up~"

This is a normal conversation in our house. I did find the most {perfect} store yesterday with the cutest things ever plus the most amazing fresh flowers. The moment I walked through their doors..my heart started beating faster....
I also stopped at J Jills and bought a cute Springy "comfortable" outfit(it has the cutest big brown button in the front)...I needed something to wear when I decorate my {baby} urns!

My mom and I have a joke when trying on shoes... especially shoes that are totally impractical.

Mom: But where are you going to where those shoes?

Paula: EVERYWHERE!!!!

Then we start laughing super hard because its something I started saying probably oh, 25 years ago.

Laurel @ Ducks in a Row said...

Our husbands should meet - wait I take that back. it would just add fuel to his fire.

Tara said...

Hysterical! At least he noticed...mine wouldn't notice the plate and he would only notice the urns cause he would stub his toe on them on his way out...!! lovely treasures!

Unknown said...

Sounds like a conversion in our house too!

Darlene - Our Creative Life said...

We are made to make our homes beautiful (to nest) so husbands just weren't wired like we were. I bet he has something though that he has that makes his heart beat a bit faster. My husband's is hot rods/street rods.

Cute stuff! I have to stay away from those places that make my heart beat faster right now... I always get in trouble there! And you have a very perceptive hubby.. mine would never even notice!

cherry said...

Wholy cow girl...you have been busy....love your finds...that plate is to die for. Love the bird house all decked out. cherryo

Unknown said...

Husbands, what do they know!!! My husband cannot understand anyone with more than four pairs of shoes.

If my opinion counts, I like everything you bought.
