I got TWO really great roasters for Christmas due to some miscommunication between hubs and my mom. No problem. I will just return one and get a new Foreman grill because mine died...which if you will allow me to ramble really irritates me. That damn thing (so what if i used it almost every night) is only one year old.
Anyway, my hope was to like I said, take back a roaster and exchange it for a new Foreman. The kind that the grill pops out and you just stick it in the dishwasher...because I don't know who the heck created the first few, but what a pain to clean...seriously.
So here we are on Christmas at my Aunt's and I hear hubby say, "hell, Stacie got two, you guys can have one". WHAT?!?!?! Then he says, while looking at me, "you know in exchange for the Nintendo DS that they are giving us"....GUILT. My 13 year old cousin is giving us his old DS that he doesn't play with because it has since been replaced with a million other gadgets.
Now today hubby calls and informs me that he is letting our guest for New Years Eve know that I will probably be making salsa. Really? Now in complete protest, I DO NOT WANT SALSA. He says..."well, you usually make it"...yeah, NO I DON'T.
What is with him? I think I will take one of his Cabela's cards, because ya know, he did get more than one...and give it to....who cares who and let him see how nice that is.
He did apologize about the roaster and offered to use his Sears gift card from his dad to buy me a Foreman, but DAMN, he wouldn't have to give up his present if he hadn't so nicely GIVEN mine away. DORK.
He wonders why he got coal in his stocking. *hmph*
Uh oh, me sensing hubs is in the dog house...
ReplyDeleteperhaps that's the understatement of the year?
:-)
I hope it all works out in the end!
Husbands are terminally clueless!
ReplyDeleteaw, i dunno, i think this time it wasn't so bad...he was trying to be nice to your family, and while he should have asked you first (duh!) he is making up for it, right? so no harm done, really, except to himself since he's the one giving up a gift in the end.
ReplyDeletethe salsa thing is a bit of a non-sequiter here and my arm chair psychologist says that its upsetting you cause you feel like its one more example of c treating you as if you 2 share one mind and will...his.
in the end i'm glad you guys seem to have worked it out and i hope he learns from this that you might have different plans than he does! xoxo
My husband would have done something just like this - they are just livin' in their own little clueless worlds sometimes. Glad to hear you will still get your grill - see you later. Kellan
ReplyDeleteOh that is too funny and very frustrating! I would have been a little ticked too. He's the grinch who stole your present.
ReplyDeleteOMG... that is soooooo something my husband would do. Then later the light bulb would go on, as to WHY that was such a DUMB thing to do (of course I would help along that light bulb)!!!!!! I so feel your pain!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the cartoon! :) Sorry about your "gift swap",..I guess he was trying to do a nice thing, but definitely should have asked you first, seeing how it was, um,..YOUR gift he was giving away! Oh,yeah,..I heard you were making salsa for New Year's, too. Yeah, it was in the paper this morning, "Stacie makes the World's Best Salsa Ever", so um, we'll be stopping by to try some, too. That's if you wouldn't mind? ;)
ReplyDeleteThat would tick me off to no end. And I am so stubborn, *I* wouldn't accept his petty attempt at buying the grill. Like buying me... Yeah, but that's me.. he-he. xoxo
ReplyDeleteHow about you send ME one of his Cabela cards and I will use it for my next contest? That way, he gets punished for giving away your roaster but someone else gets rewarded!!
ReplyDeleteProblem solved... You're welcome!! :-)

roflmao...thanks girls.
ReplyDeleteaunt emailed me today about the roaster, and yes, I will give it to her, they need it. I am not going to make him use his sears card either...I will just sulk around and maybe NEXT year I will get a new Foreman grill ;)
maybe you will get TWO foreman grills next year, lmao
ReplyDeleteSo...what would you like to get from Cabelas???? I say that there's a little shopping trip on hubby. That mouth of him....gettin' him in trouble!
ReplyDeleteI am laughing so hard right now. My husband too suffers from "foot-in-the-mouth" syndrome.
ReplyDeleteHopefully he's learned his lesson. LOL! Atleast he offered up his gift card! Mine wouldn't do that. =)
ReplyDeleteHi Stacie! I just found your blog through Kami, and thought I'd check it out! I laughed so loud reading some of your posts, I know we'd have a lot in common! Hope you don't mind if I keep reading. You're welcome at my blog anytime, too :-)
