*STORMS IN*
Okay so FIRST OF ALL, Noodle had a damn temper tantrum because I want some color other than blue in our house. I got some green throw pillows to go with the blue ones on our white couch and he was all "AHHHHHHHHH OMG YOU NEVAR LISTEN TO ME WHY DID YOU DO THAT OMG THOSE TWO DON'T EVEN GO TOGETHER." B*tch please, somewhere out there David Bromstad is clutching his fantastically coordinated pearls. If they're next to each other on the goddamn color wheel they go together. And he's all "WTF is a color wheel" and I'm all "What I'm going to run your ass over with if you don't let me decorate my motherf*cking house." Excuse me for not wanting it to look like Cookie Monster jizzed all over our goddamn house.
SO THEN I went to Homegoods and bought some towels, nice towels, white ones from Ralph Lauren. $9.99 each. GREAT deal. I bring them home to show him and he's happy, going on about what nice towels they are and how they'll go great in the bathroom. So I go "I know, right? And guess how much they were. $9.99. I couldn't believe it, what a great deal."
And his panties immediately start to wad and he's all "OH MY GOD YOU SPENT TEN DOLLARS ON A TOWEL WHY WOULD YOU SPEND THAT MUCH MONEY OH MY GOD AND BY THE WAY THE WORLD IS ENDING RIGHT NOW." I'm like "Hey. Drama queen. Ten dollars is a fantastic deal on a Ralph Lauren bath towel, dude. When is the last time you even BOUGHT a towel?" And he goes "Well...I haven't. I mean, my mom always buys me towels except for when you do."
SO THEN WHY ARE YOU FREAKING OUT. You don't even know how much a towel costs IN THE FIRST PLACE. I'VE SPENT THE LAST 8 MONTHS WATCHING NOTHING BUT HGTV AND POURING OVER PINTREST AND HOUZZ SO LET ME DO MY GODDAMN THING, MAN.
If I wanted to hear the pitter-patter of little feet, I'd put shoes on the cat.

Anyways. Caps lock is how I feel inside. All of the time.
If I let him design our house everything would be beige and poop brown. And blue. He spent $600 on a goddamn dimmer for the kitchen and do you know why? Because it was blue. SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS. FOR A DIMMER SWITCH.
[QUOTE]That must be one hell of a dimmer switch. Does is make you coffee in the morning?

Oh no, we have a Keruig for that. Not just a regular single cup maker though, the Elite. Why do we have the Elite? Guess. No, you know what? I'll give you a hint.

I DON'T EVEN DRINK COFFEE.
The only reason he got that stupid dimmer switch is because I had leverage to have the popcorn ceilings scraped which he said was a "waste of money."
Check and mate, b*tch.

[QUOTE]Dude. That fuucking dimmer switch better do more than make you coffee. Is there something wrong with spray paint? I thought dimmer switches were like, $10.

It's this wierd touch LED dimmer that you just have to run your finger along to dim. I won't front, it's pretty damn cool. Whatever, I told him that's his anniversary gift so I hope he enjoys it.
You're welcome.
You know that warm sensation you get when you're happy. That's me.

It's where most of TN is. And it's so, so much more awesome than the boards here. The format, the layout, the functionality, the fact you can swear and it has an app for smartphones...
They'll be all finished up next Wednesday, and we're having the new bed and couch delivered on Saturday. So technically we should be in by next weekend.
However, somebody whose name rhymes with poodle kept dragging his feet on ordering blinds, so none of our windows have any shades. And he's super paranoid about people looking in windows of the house when we're there so he doesn't want to move in until the shades are installed, which will be the week AFTER next.

mmhmm. My TB month board migrated too. (Well the people who aren't lame did) and it's way better.
I'll probably delete the other one, though. It has TK in the name and I don't really watn to get sued or anything.

[QUOTE]so. nuggs. WHEN is your BBQ Open House for the internet stranger friends?? Can we all come bombard noodle at the same time?

Maaaaaaan I would love to see his face if like, 15 internet people showed up on front door step all "Hi! We're here for the internet message board get together." As soon as we can manage to get our back yard cleaned up at least a little bit I'mma be in touch with La Fische.
[QUOTE]In Response to Re: *STORMS IN* : Would he feel better about it if we brought something blue as a house warming?

"OH MY GOD DID YOU TELL ALL YOUR INTERNET PEOPLE ABOUT HOW MUCH I LIKE BLUE WHY DID YOU DO THAT HOW MUCH DO YOU TELL THEM I BET THEY KNOW MY SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER YOU'RE GOING TO GET US ALL KILLED AND THE WORLD IS ENDING."
I moved in with my FI and his roommate 2 years ago. The entire house was beige. 2 years later, I got 1 accent wall. It's brown.
I don't get men.
everything about this post is hilarious... but I mean... who WOULDN'T want Cookie Monster to jizz all over their house?

[QUOTE]Nuggs I think we might be marrid to the same guy. FI LOVES blue. <strong>Everything he wears is blue, his car was blue until he bought his new truck.</strong> he wants the whole house blue. I comprmised with giving him the master suite all in blue and the guest room in blue and shite. Then he stopped caring about the rest. And as far as how much towels cots, these are the reasons I recommend separate bank accounts.

Thank you. I thought I was alone in this. FI thinks everything needs to be orange (including his car). Being a lovely person, I spend an inordinate amount of time trying to convince him that varying shades of other colors (usually pink) are actually orange. Perhaps I can use your techniques to gaslight him into letting me paint a room pink and have him stop caring.
*twitch, twitch from permanent migraine from all the orange, twitch*
Completely died laughing since until I moved in, THERE WAS NO OTHER COLOR!! He still doesn't get what's so funny...
Of course this did get me thinking. I remember being little and in school we always had coloring boxes. The girls always arranged their colors starting with purple and then working their way down. The browns, blue and orange were always at the end of the box. They were "boyish". The boys were the opposite. I guess it all makes sense now...
