Upgrade necessary? I think not. |

A gift? Or a hint? |
- A: I don’t know what it is or how it works;
- B: don’t really need to be THAT connected at swim meets and soccer and PTO and hoops and check out lines. That’s what Twitter’s for!
- C: Do the math: price and monthly fee ROI not worth spending for remote access during valuable mom & Twitter-time. Seriously, I’m not that busy.
- He thinks about exercising and immediately buys new workout clothes, gym membership, protein shakes, bars, and more sneakers than humanly possible. Before he ever breaks a sweat.
- He has full Orvis flyfishing gear and has been out a half-a-dozen times, maybe. In 20 years.
- Took down a few trees? Insisted on massive need for new Husqvarna, axe, wedge, and splitter.
- He wanted a John Deere to mow the lawn in 3 point turns.
- Don’t even get me going on the maple syruping addiction.
I totally understand this prediciment. My ex and I when we were together were the same way. He had to have all the gadgets and accessories while I was fine with the stuff I already had. Besides, with every new gadget, it took hours to learn how to use it. Anyway, he got me some useful things, but for the most part, he ended up with the stuff that I thought was excessive.
Not a big gadget person either. Husb is. But….!!!! Are you f-ing kidding me???!!! You played tennis in Chuck Taylors for that long? THAT is injury-provoking and the lawn mower could be too. So glad you have someone there that is giving you the tangibles and intangibles you may need. Cuz this blog, well, it speaks for itself.
RAH, RAH, RAH!!!
I’m the gadget-go-getter of the two of us! At least in my defense I can say I”m more motivated once I get these things-at least at first! 🙂
New stuff makes me panic I’m over-reaching — athletically, professionally, um..fashion-ally.
UPDATE: THIS HAPPENED after post: at 11 yo basketball game, kid4 gets inadvertent elbow to the mouth. Tears, but okay.
HSB: “He needs a good mouthguard.”
ME: The (dubious) Look
HSB: “WHAT? Seriously, all the pros wear them.”
can’t make this up….:)
