Repairs/Affairs/and Stuff

November 10th, 2006 at 03:01 am

Well, Sunday I went to a Christening for my niece! What a cutie she is! My gift to cover the cost of three meals and drinks was $150 dollars! It was great seeing the whole family and it really is nice, especially on happy occasions! Thank God I don't have an affair every weekend!Smile

I fixed two lamps in the house. I then bought and installed a new seat on the Kohler Low Boy. We had issues though! First the seat from Kohler was thin plastic and did not fit. It was the correct replacement model. We ended up ordering a cheaper wooden seat that has plastic sprayed on it that fit perfectly. The color was a spot on match too!

The parts to hold the seat on were awful so I installed the seat using a combination of old and new parts. I think someone must stay up nights for these companies figuring out ways to make things less simple to use! Go figure!

I made a payment today on the wifes last CC and I should be down below 4000 dollars. I cannot wait until my last payment is made and I can thumb my nose at the CC companies and start seriously saving bucks!

I just got a Kill a Watt device that was mentioned around the blogs here. Great device. I am starting to figure out how much things cost to run! I have explained to everyone in the house that items with motors and heating elements burn up scads of kilowatt hours! Save! Save! Save! My wife thinks I am nuts though!Big Grin

Yes! I have finished my bag of Tootsie Pops and am suffering from severe sugar withdrawal! AArrrrrggghhhhhh!!!!!

I am getting so close to freedom from indebtedness! I can almost taste it!

The wife has not yet gotten her leather coat but she has her new toaster oven! I am still waiting til she uses it before I touch it. It was her request, not my idea, folks to get a toaster oven!

The weather was 70 degrees today! It is pretty unnerving for it to be that warm this late in the year. I am not complaining. I have all my upstairs windows open and the heat off as we speak. It is in the low 60s here and it is heaven to me!

The wife and I are getting along fairly well and we have had some nice long talks. That is a good thing! I really do love that woman. You know, you just don't love someone as well as when you have been with them over time. You learn to know their habits, foibles, and little cute peculiarities!

Thinking back it was very hormonal at first. Love grows and takes deep roots over time. I could not ever imagine being with anyone else, ever! I have been through a great deal but I would gladly do it all over again! That is odd when you think about it. I love her that much!
Ah, enough sappy stuff!

After the the new year starts I hope to be out of denbt and will take stock of my fibnancial situation! I'll let you all in on it as you have so graciously helped my and listened to my tales of woe!

Sorry about the run on babble! Hope to respond to some of your blogs over the weekend. See ya soon gang!

    Yes the sugar rush is fading. I think I'll sneak into the remaining Halloween stash! The toaster oven was definitely my wifes idea. Hey, the one we had was working okay as far as I coud see. I don't understand but there you have itSmile

    You know, I got to thinking today about how much Hubby went through during my bad days before diagnosis(es) and meds and all. He loved me enough to hang in there and deal with it all. We have both come out the other side and I am grateful to be so much better--and grateful that he is still here. And that the pain and frustration he must have had so many times has faded. He let it go. I am grateful for that. You've helped me see the other side of the picture. Thanks for sharing with us. I think I understand now the depth of your love for your wife.

    When you love someone there is nothing too hard. I am so glad everything worked out for you and your husband. Love grows when it is tended. I hate sounding sappy but that is the truth of it. It just takes root in your heart and it just grows and grows.

    janh, thank you for listening! You and your husband are very lucky to have each other!WinkSmile

    Lux, I have to say on the whole it has been a lot more of the better than the worse!Smile

    I think it's great you guys are doing better... it goes to show that when you really love someone, you work it out, not run away from the problem like so many couples do these days! I agree with Lux-- you da' man! Smile

    I don't think you're sappy at all, priceplus, what you said was very touching. You are right that love take time,a nd deepens over time...no shortcuts to the process, i'm afraid.

    As a woman in dating mode, i must say my radar is always up when meeting someone new; if they are too complementary and eager for romance, i worry they're just interested in sex. Sigh. I'm in my 40s, yet some things never seem to change. It's always a tricky road to navigate. The best love, as you said, is one that can survive the years.

    On toaster ovens, i think they're great, and of course much more economical than heating up the big oven. I use my toaster all the time. It's even great for broiling a salmon filet, toasting walnuts for my salad, i've even roasted veggies in it.

    Fern, when I was younger my reactions were more hormonal. Getting older other things are a great deal more important. It is really a nice feeling to sit in a room with someone and not have to say a word. Physical presence is enough. I can't really put into words how that feels.

    As for guys looking for just sex, yep, there are plenty of them. There are nice guys out there and I hope you meet the right one! My sisters friend just got married at 44 for the first time and she is extremely happy. The had a charming little wedding!

    The toaster oven is a necessity in my book. My wife says she asked for it for her birthday because I never would have spent the money to replace the functional one we already had! I still don't get it but if she wants a toaster overn the.............well..........

    I love salmon cooked with a little paprika and dill in the toaster oven! I have never toasted walnuts. I'll have to try that!Smile

    Paul, it made me so happy to read this post. I think you are a great guy and your wife is a very lucky woman to have you. I know what you mean about love that grows over the years. I would be lost without my husband.

    I can't add anything to these comments because you have said it all in your post - and put it so nicely. My DH was my best friend before we dated and has been my best friend ever since. There are many times when not a word needs to be said, but we are completely at ease just being with each other Smile
