Jul. 26, 2009 - So, I kinda like the new table afterall...
The new air hockey table is growing on me. First, it is a great table; one of those $500 retail babies and to get it for $30 was a steal. Mr. Wonderful, sensing my doubts (and initial displeasures no doubt), did a great job of cleaning it up to gleaming perfection.
Second, since I am pregnant and Mr. Wonderful not yet fully recouped from neck surgery and two burly neighbor men out of town this weekend, we decided to leave it in the garage for now. So, I cleaned out and organized the garage, a task that inexplicably needs doing every month. Am now feeling virtuous and self-righteous rather than grumpy and frumpy.
Third, and perhaps most importantly, the kids love it. As do the neighbor kids.
Fourth, I'm not sure it will ever fit through the door and into the basement. Which means only one of us will be able to park in the garage this winter. That would be me. Which may make my honey pause and contemplate a bit more before he lugs home a new oversized item.
Natural consequences are a beautiful thing.
Blessings, Holly
