@nomar

 

One day my husband sarcastically asked if I would like him to put in a "loading dock" on the front porch.

 

I smiled sweetly and said, "sure, start building."

Thank goodness I never ordered anything without DH's understanding  II couldn't live with the stress of having to sneak things in.  Just not my style.  Any time he had a problem with my ordering anything from anywhere (rarely ever happened) the order got canceled right away. Nothing was ever more important to me than our mutual agreement on everything. Love that man so much and miss him so desperately.

Anytime I complain about my hubby spending money on something (which is not often), he quickly turns it around and comments on all my QVC spending.  So to counteract that, I am buying less and less.  I don't need a thing and need to save more than I already do.  My money is for my retirement, not those of the QVC hosts!

And I would like to add that, at times, I have been embarassed at all that showed up for me at once.  One summer day two years ago, my HS graduated son said to me, "I am still going to college, right?" as he saw me bring in all my packages.

I can relate Rolypoly. Hate you got busted but it did make me laugh.
I never get home from work until after 7 pm so I don’t stand a chance. My hubby hasn’t complained.
But I do come home and catch him watching Hoarders! I know he’s wondering. Haha.
Enjoy your candles and thanks for the laugh today.

This is funny, as my husband does my ordering! Granted, I don't buy a whole lot, but when I want something, I give him a list when I see him sitting at the computer. Although the stuff I buy is usually from Amazon or a woman's clothing catalog.

For some strange reason he is happy when I buy stuff.

pupwhipped....I lit the pumpkin caramel popcorn right away. His pumpkin scents are pretty good. I love all the winter scents, but not food scents, so I am surprised I like pumpkin. Will not order any floral ones or drink scented ones like last year. After getting this load, I may not order any for a couple years. Been downstairs trying to organize my candle collection and I do believe I just MIGHT have a hoarder problem. When I worked I bought a bunch of Slatkin and Co. candles, but being at work I did not get to burn them like I can now that I am at home all the time. I found several of the ones from that time period. Luckily, they still are scented and will be fine, but my candle buying days are over for quite some time since I have this huge stash now. The good thing is, hubby does not complain about Slatkin candles burning, but he does about other brands.
