A few things have been going on around here. Hubby and I took the boys to the outlets yesterday. I was the audience to a firm announcement that we will NOT spend any money. We were just there to look.
Mmmm hmmmm.....
Hubby ended up falling in love with a RL blazer, and we bought several golfing shirts. Eighty percent off is just too good a deal, but what I think is funny is that he was totally first to break that rule! :) Usually it's me!
I wasn't in the mood to try on clothes. I'm at a tweener size- not quite one size, but not quite the next one. Somewhere in between. And it's very frustrating. AND, I'm sure the vanilla-ginger-pear crumble I made didn't help... or the brownies I made this afternoon. :P
Anyway, after the outlets, we stopped briefly at home for lunch, then went "just to look" at a new mattress.
Mmmm hmmmmm......
We ended up buying a Tempurpedic! Our current mattress has been giving Hubby neck issues, and exacerbating my SPD. We really wanted a Tempurpedic, but didn't think it would be wise to spend the money. However, once we tried it out, we just couldn't resist. It's being delivered this afternoon, so finally we will get a restful night's sleep! With our old mattress, we ended up smushed in the middle. Laying on either side felt like an uphill battle to keep out of each other's way. Now, we will both sleep well and hopefully feel better.
I have to laugh whenever Hubby says "we're not going to buy anything", because that usually means we will. I consider myself to be somewhat of a spender, but he's way more of one. I tallied up our spending over the past two weeks, and (not counting bills, gas, or groceries) he spent five times as much as I did! LOL
So last night, after the mattress purchase and paying bills and calculating our finances, I gave him the "we're not going to buy anything frivolous" speech. Very ironic.
