| I didn't promise you a rose garden |
|
I promised my wife a patio. She has been showing me pictures of 'outdoor rooms' for a year now. She says, "buy pavers and this will be easier". (read, "faster")I said, I would pour concrete, stain and stamp it. She said it will take forever to get done then. Somehow, I caved in, and so I brought home ordinary pavers, and she is happy. Wimmen! She is always on to me. She doesn't want them laid in a straight grid though, she wants them "swirly" and then she is putting bitty groundcover plants in between. Damm those gardening magazines!
My magazines are popular mechanics, popular science, discovery,shotgun news, and time. Hers are in piles all over the house, next to her computer,her side of the bed,in baskets in the living room. They are either 'how to's with color co ordinated flowerbeds, or how to drive your man wild... too late, I was born that way. Or 'how to cook and impress Martha Stewart'.Also, the really pricey ones, with pictures of cartier jewlery and smelly perfume between the pages. As I said, wimmen! I looked to see 'how to drive your man wild' and didn't see anything I didn't already know, except there are new uses for breathmints.
They didn't ask me, There should be a real opinion poll with real men providing the answers.
