"Why?"
"We'll get it next time."
"I'm getting it."
"Just get it next time."
"Do you know me at all? Now I'm getting two."
"It's not going to fit in your Honda. Let's just come back with the truck."
"I CAN FIT THREE IN MY HONDA. NOW I'M BUYING THREE, ARE YOU HAPPY?"
Anything can be a competition if you try hard enough!
ha ha. Good to set those ground rules early in the relationship. That rooster post is hilarious @librarianjess.
ReplyDeleteI want one of those too and Jake always says the same thing, "we'll get one later." I keep trying to tell him that it looks so much nicer than what some of the neighbors do. They make planters out of old tires, not my thing.
ReplyDeleteWe have neighbors that grow irises on the parking strip in tires. It's sorta cute but ultimately it still looks like trash to me.
ReplyDeleteThe wine barrel is *really* heavy. Make sure Jake helps you lift it. :) Greg gave me so much grief for thinking I could get it in my car by myself.
LOL, I have found myself in your argument/competition shoes more than once. Just push me and see if I don't push back!

ReplyDeleteOh Heather, your post really gave me a good laugh!
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to watch you guys having this discussion. It's something that sounds very familiar to me. :)
Anyway, I like that wine barrel planter. It would be too big for my garden but seems to fit well in your garden. I had a discussion with my hubby about buying one of the whiskey barrel planters and he said it's too big for the area I wanted to place it. I disagree! Well, our discussion didn't come to end end as quick as you were done discussing the wine barrel with your Greg. Our discussion is still open.
I'll get my whiskey barrel, if he likes it or not. ;)
Last week, I got 2 of these. In my Civic. By myself. I also have bruises all over my legs.
ReplyDeleteThat's because you're a rockstar.
