So we have our little, small, secret stash of cash, the wife and I, mainly generated by birthday and anniversary gifts from the in-laws and so on. We use it to go out to a nice dinner once in awhile, or splurge on something we both want.

Well, she took a "withdrawl" this morning, to buy an "Easter Wreath". I don't even know what a frigging Easter Wreath is, but I do know we will hang it up for a month, then put it down in the basement to hang with the 47 other "holiday" wreathes we have until next year, when we will probably buy a different one, as the one we have is a year old. But we won't throw the year-old one away, because it is "nice", and the saga continues. :wall:

Tell her you want to buy some "Easter Plugs" and they will hang in the living room for a month and then do double duty in the water and the man-cave! Fair is fair!:bl2:

Women are funny Rich...can't wear the same dress twice...."Because they have already seen it once".....or hang the same wreath!/1/1 Heaven forbid!;)

Don't forget the Trump Card...."But I got it on Sale"


Easter Wreath???? The only words that should follow the word Easter are Bunny, Basket, and Ham

I have no idea what an Easter Wreath is, other than it is another "creation" linked to a holiday which our better half will be tempted to buy and display.

The good news is she got home, I helped unload the groceries from Stoppada Shoppada and did not see any "wreath" nor a Christmas Tree Shop bag hiding the same.

I'm sure it's not the end of it, but I was just blowing off steam - it's all a compromise - plugs, equipment, single malt scotch - a few wreathes.

I've been wondering the same thing Frank. Whatever it is, I'm sure i don't want one and would probably be equally pissed if my wife was talking about buying one.

single malt is a necessity, it's not a bargaining chip...hell it's before toilet paper on the list!:bl2:

i think old wreathes are fire hazards...and if they are artificial...

then they could have been recycled...

what ever happened to the old tradition of grabbing a pair of pruning shears
and cutting vines and branches to make your own?
i was seeing wreathes selling for $25-30 dollars in my area... thats nuts!!


also this thing with holiday flags...is getting out of hand too. :hs:

The Christmas Tree Shop is pretty cheap, though! I can tackily decorate for each holiday, even the minor ones, for the price of a few plugs. It makes me feel useful and homemaker-y. RRC wasn't too thrilled about my bunny windsock, though. I may have to hang it in my car.
