Thinking outside the survival box
Yesterday I had time to go shopping alone. I told TDW I needed to pick up a few things.
Well in her minds eye, I was going out the get her the Mossy 500 in a 20 gage. We had talked about this and she knew I wanted to get one(Home Defense) for her.
Well I went to the store and picked up a Kitchen Aid Mixer. Ya $200 + for a mixer seemed like a lot. I know TDW will use the heck out of it. It is something she would never spend that much money on for herself. Her wrists have been bothering her(arther)lately and we may need to have them repaired again. This will save her wrists a hole lot if wear and tare.
Now a Shotgun for $200 or a mixer for $200. Let me change that. If you count the attachments I ordered, once I got home! $450. I ordered the small bowl, A cover and the grain mill attachment.
TDW is happy. We have a grain mill now that will save me some money, by not having to buy one.
Sometimes you have to walk away from the Survival Mode and just do something unexpected and shocking.
I am so prouder of myself! I got to put one past TDW and shock her like I have not in several years.
Now you might ask about TGF. Well she needed a washer and dryer. She picked out what she wanted and I went and paid for them and set it up so they will be delivered today and set up.
This has been an expensive week.
