[Tigger&Belle]

I'm obviously not feeling fell today. I forgot to pour myself a cup of coffee (if you knew me you'd know how serious it was) and then I eventually remembered and then had a cup before t-ball. I brought a mug with me to t-ball, but forgot I'd brought it. This could be serious!!! Don't know if I should go to urgent care or the emergency room...

Good morning! Am I allowed to bring kids into the bar? Here's a picture of my new "girls" - and my 10 year old! She was in a school play yesterday, which is why she's got tons of makeup on:

Is anyone else having trouble with the board? I can't quote, use PM's or start a new thread. It's been going on since last night....

It seems like I missed quite the party last night . I had a bit of DH's giant Japanese beer and was finished for the night. Now I'm impatiently waiting for him to wake up because I don't know how to use the espresso machine

 

[L107ANGEL]

Steph the board is really acting up today.

I'm really bored today. So here's the tale of my new rug. In April, Dh and I moved into our new home. It's a home of compromises. He hates multiple stories, I hate hardwood floors. It's a 2 story townhome with hardwood floors It's got it's flaws but the price was right. So for 2 months we've bickered back and forth over rugs. He doesn't want any. I say bare wood floor is cold and cavernous and besides, I'm sweeping it twice a day, they are filthy. He says that's his point. Think of the dirt that would be in the rug! Better in the rug than on my feet I say. Anyway, I finally wore him down and he agreed to a rug for the living room.

For the past 2 weeks he's been looking at rugs online. Ebay, Target.com, buttfuglyorientalrugs.com, he's been scouring the net for the ugliest rug possible. I think the idea was to wear me down. Every night, 4 or 5 times a night he calls from his recliner for me to come look at another rug on his laptop. Only once, ONCE in two weeks did he actually show me a rug I didn't hate. I didn't much like it, but I didn't hate it. It was a blue/green stripe woven rag rug. You know, like you took a nap on in kindergarden only bigger? The colors matched our furniture and it wasn't gawdawful oriental style and I said it was a start in the right direction. I DIDN'T SAY I LIKED IT.

Fast forward to last night. I'm not feeling good and we need some things at Target so he runs over there. He comes back an hour later looking very much like the cat that ate the canary. He has a suprise for me (that's never a good sign). In he comes with the very rug I said I liked. And he got it on clearance for $45 down from $99. Only it's not the very rug and I didn't say I liked it. It's MUCH stronger in color and it's jute. JUTE!! Jute like you put on a scratching post jute. The cat loves it. I'm wondering how you clean hocked up hairballs and cat vomit out of a jute rug. Speechless, stunned and not up to arguing I go take a bath and go to bed.

When he crawls into bed he's expecting a "good boy treat" for getting me such a wonderful rug when he didn't want a rug at all. I quietly reminded him he has a wife who collects quilts, loves poodles and thinks Rachel Ashwell is a goddess. And that the difference between my taste in decorating and his is that I have some. And that a rug made of navy and puke green striped ropes doesn't fit with quilts and poodles and shabby chic.

This morning, as he wakes me up to kiss me goodbye before he goes to work, he tells me the rug was only $45 and we'll go look for another in a couple of weeks. This one can be attached to the mega cat complex we are planning for Simon. Yup, he'll love it.

hmmm I like the rug....

Sug, that rug has got to go!! Your post on the oriental.com had me laughing

 

[Shugardrawers]

This rug is the definition of passive aggression. "But Sweetie, you wanted a rug, I got you a rug. Heck, I didn't even want one but I gave in"

The rug in and of itself is ok for some people. It would be great in a 12 year old boys room. Or the dining room at a frat house. But not MY living room.

I passed on a beautiful shabby chic cotton rose braided rug because I knew he'd hate it. So why would he buy something he knew I'd hate???

 

[L107ANGEL]

He problably thought you would like it. Some of the gifts I have received through the years were amazing!! Who wouldn't want a cordless drill for mothers day
