men are the hunters...

...except mine is the bargain hunter kind. the shopper - he is worse than a woman. thats easy to say for me because i cant stand it anymore unless i am by myself, i'm not even good at shopping with a friend. i dunno why - i guess i just dont want to feel pressured into moving too quick or moving too slow.

he's happiest when shopping the clearance end caps at target, or the end of season markdowns at lowes. we literally go to target sometimes as an afterthought. i decide to sit in the car while he makes his perimeter walk to find something good and he's out in about 10-15 minutes.

i guess the thing that kills me most is when i'm not there to guide him into smart shopping. sometimes, he buys because it is on clearance and we MIGHT need it someday (buts its 75% off)!

he comes home from lowes after his big hunt. he throws his big purchase (this time it a big box with an outdoor cedar swing) on the counter like a big piece of meat he wants me to cook while beating his chest and screaming i am man.

my life will be miserable for the next few weeks while i nag at him to remove the beast from my house.

jk

ps. the big find on the cedar swing turned out to be just the a-frame. swing sold separately. and we have 3 of these.
