Isn’t Marriage great?
There is so
much written about how wonderful and sacred the bond of marriage is. I am going
to spare you the details and go straight into my thoughts on this …
It takes a single “WTF” from your spouse to question a previously taken
decision:
I had the
misfortune of interacting with an insurance agent/employee of an insurer/
broker…whoever…to get a certain problem I was having with his company solved quickly. He made
all sorts of promises, all promises "subject to realization of cheque” for a
new policy. It seemed like a great idea at that time…so I said, ok Mr.So and So, on
your guarantee I shall take the new policy” blah blah. …
Total talk time: about 40mins
I was thrilled at how
well I handled that conversation. More so because I was in the insurance industry for a good five years myself!!! Ha!! I really outsmarted that Sales Dude!!
Come evening,
Hubby darling calls from out of town, I tell him proudly all that I spoke
about…..his response…”WTF, come on really. That is just so stupid…”
Total talk time on the subject: about 1
minute.
Final Result: Spent 2 hours browsing
the internet (in the middle of the night) and wondering if I did the right
thing with Mr.Agent. Next morning first
on the "things-to-do" list – stop payment of issued cheque for new policy!!!

Buying a car:
We had long
discussions about this one. We talked and talked! In the end here are the solid
plans we came up with,
Plan 1 - Sell the old one buy another one, we really
need to save rather than spend!
Plan 2 – keep the old one, buy a used
car.
Plan 3
– get a great car from the office since they are giving away cars cheap.
Plan 4
– Participate in all lucky draws that the big malls and stores are offering,
and win a car (oh yes, we’re surely going to win at least once….we were
convinced about this and that thing we call law of averages or something)
Final result: Kept the old car, bought
a brand new top of the line car at full price. (Hey, no regrets
whatsoever,
it’s a fab car and has a great resale value!!!)

Our little baby is
scratching her head like crazy, she’s so uncomfortable with the heat and her
little head of silky smooth hair
Hubby: We need to shave her head
Me: No that is such a bad idea…her hair
is so silky
Hubby: But it will grow back better,
really! It will
Me: What if it doesn’t?
Hubby: Ok, but we should keep trimming
her hair.
Me: Deal
A few days
later, and many minutes of vicious scratching later,
Me: Ok fine you are right, let’s shave
her head. Poor kid is so uncomfortable!
Hubby: Great, ok, I’ll make an
appointment for it
That night,
Hubby: Her hair is so smooth and silky
Me: Yes, it is. But she’s so
uncomfortable
Hubby: What if it comes back badly?
Me: But it won’t, most times it comes
back much thicker
Hubby: But still…..what if??
Final Result: Said haircut indefinitely
postponed. Go Figure!!
That’s right,
say it with me…..Isn’t marriage great?
There is so much more that i could add to this list, but hey, this is a blog not a novel, so I shall
stop here!
Happy Weekend everyone!
