really I do. He's so funny. Plus, he's a little quirky. After 20+ years, his little quirks that used to make me nuts are kind of endearing now. Hopefully he feels the same way about my quirks :-)
Like his obsessive personality. Only, I wish I could get him to be obsessive about constructive things, like FINISHING THE BATHROOM! It's been almost 2 years for heavens sake. Oh, don't look at me - I am NOT the fix it girl.
Anyway...his latest mental venture has been about owning a weapon. One that goes bang. Hours on the computer researching, reading everything and all the message boards. For weeks. Now he's a walking encyclopedia about guns. It's actually impressive.
He finally got his year end bonus. Betcha can't guess what he did with it? Uh huh. Bought a gun. I could think of 13 or 14 better ways to spend that $$. But it's the only money he gets all year that's just his. And who am I to poo poo his hobbies? I have a dozen hobbies myself. It's just that my hobbies aren't expensive. I did have to put a condition on it though. WE have to learn how to use it, clean it, load it, fire it and all about gun safety. He said okay. So I signed us up for the NRA basic pistol course next month. To tell you the truth, I'm looking forward to it. (don't be scared Mom!)
Of course now that he's done that...I've got the overwhelming desire to buy something totally frivolous. Perhaps a new pair of shoes? Hmmmm
