Moi: (breaking out in a full sweat of panic) um, um, um (gulp) Ahhh, it's for the monogrammed bathroom linens I ordered bu..bu..but, theylosttheordersoithasn'tbeenplaced (yet).
Babe: good thing cuz we don't need $$$ in new bathroom linens so just make sure we are credited.
Moi: crickets chipping...
Wellllll, while 'twas true they lost the order, 'twas not true that I had the discipline to not replace it...
But, honor thy husband and all...
So, I reduced it by half...
What's that Lolly? You really appreciate the new rug? Me too Lolls, me too...
Let's see if we can't use our womanly wiles and double team Daddy to get our way for the guest bath as well...Kindness of Babe for not getting mad at us for Towelgate. We really appreciate how hard you work and are only trying to give you some well deserved luxury during your few days home each week. Now. Just imagine yourself wrapped in an Hermes horse blanket while watching Sunday football...XXOO
Love your choices. The Monogram Shop is a weakness of mine, too.
ReplyDeleteWell if there is something to spend money on make it a monogrammed cushy towel! Thanks husband!
ReplyDeleteThose towels look great ... I agree a Hermes horse blanket would be great to wrap up in... HHL
ReplyDeleteLooks like Babe doesn't read your blog very closely. I distinctly remember you 'confessing your sin' in the post regarding the baptism of your niece - beginning of the month I think. You should have a "get out of jail free" card in this situation.
ReplyDeleteOh he read it alright. This all happened prior to that. My confession was in reference to the reorder. Believe me, I got a call immediately after he saw that post. Fine tooth comb Lisa, fine tooth comb...XXOO
ReplyDeleteLove those linens! You and your husband are too funny!
ReplyDeletemonograms make me weak at the knees, in the powder room, on the bed, the table, a cuff - they just add a touch that says "special!"

Love the tonal monogram! I just got white on white towels for our new bathroom....butcept (props to ADG) from LL Bean.
ReplyDeleteThere is no way your Babe can say no to you - I mean how many men are lucky enough to have such a clever, smart, witty wife? Love the monograms. They do make all the difference :-) xoxo
ReplyDeleteSo lovely! Really Babe? No?? You know what they say, "Happy wife = happy life." ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is very humorous. It sounds like you need your own checking account so Babe can have a limited amount of money deposited from his pay, and you can have fun without it affecting his bottom line...but then this may be the way you two play!!! My husband is a financial manager and after two years...well, let's just say I do not have to flirt quite SOOO hard. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLove those Rs. What's the word for doing a monogram like that, essentially a jacquard, almost?
ReplyDeleteI think they have the nicest monograms ever. I just wish they were a little cheaper.
ReplyDeleteLove the towels but Lolly steals the show. Oh that kitten is delicious!
ReplyDeleteIs Lolly part Siamese - all of the sudden she looks like MY Himalayan. I like the white-on-white towels - believe it or not!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the towels. I think it is so important to have good linens in a home. Monogrammed or not, fresh clean/new linens are important and set a great first impression!
ReplyDeleteTowels are lovely, but Lolly is SO adorable.

ReplyDeleteLol; Lolly is such a pretty girl! Love your new towels and rugs.
