ok so the tiff we had wasn’t that big, i think it was more of a symbolic argument and i felt obligated to defend my honour and also that of every other woman on the planet and fil basically FORCED me to purchase these stupid mats out of spite cos he was dogging them so hard in line with all these people behind me listening in, i whispered fil hey fil he turns around i mouth FUCK YOU then he goes to buy his ten millionth fantasy bible and i go to a separate cash to pay for my mats and yes we were at indigo.
now, i always plan ahead for things, meals, movies, booze, whatever, fil doesn’t, and that’s cool that’s cool, just don’t get up in my face cos i want two dinky mats for the balcony for spring/summer, or to take to the island, especially when these mats are 6 dollars reduced from 25!
fil asked why i needed two of them, because, what if someone wants to lie down with me? our balcony is empty save for three mismatched chairs and i want it to look pretty and inviting. he said he wasn’t going to mention the discount table to me because then i would end up buying something stupid, no worry i saw it first on my own and beelined toward it the second i walked through the door, and i did stop myself from buying two cheese plates with stupid comics printed on them.
mats are practical. what if i decide i am going to do sit-ups on the floor?
also, i want to suntan (for free) on the balcony and laying on the one big towel i have is annoying.
the moral of the story is, if you want to talk me out of buying something, don’t stand in line making fun of me and said item so that everyone can overhear it, i felt stupid. then afterward there was a net sack of pine cones he picked up and said oh look lauren pine cones 75% off! and i couldn’t laugh because i had to win.
back to planning ahead, i do it, he doesn’t, there will be a situation in the future where he will BEG to lie down on one of my mats or we will be out on a walk and find a nice rock to sit on and he will say boy i sure wish i had a mat right now.
fuck my life.
oh and the other one has a nice floral design, it is also lime and yellow.
fil enjoys nothing more than going on nature walks then finding a spot to lie down and read or fall asleep on (i know fun right?) so getting these mats is like me saying alright fine i am resigned to our lifestyle now and more so encouraging it WHY DON’T YOU FUCKING SEE THAT!
women sometimes therapy shop to shut out the many pains of the world they feel in their hearts, if some stupid trinket catches their fancy, they buy it, keep it, or gift it, so let that be, if your lady is happy, then you are happy, it’s not rocket science.
he also said there is no way i will ever carry a mat to the island, so now i will be forced to do that too. THANKS FIL <3. he mentioned what will i do if they get dirty? yes he seriously tried to cock-block these mats in a major way i am getting mad all over again. when he scoffed at the idea of me carrying them to the island i was in the middle of explaining that i would get a piece of twine and tie it around each end and then carry it like a purse but wait wtf why am i even explaining this period!? LKUGP!LK!:OI!G:OUgh’oghp9’bdflobnlo/b! how many of you think i am in trouble when fil gets home? i at least took out the irritating boyfriends part, i just called and gave him a head’s up re: this post. he only cared to know if i mentioned the pine cones part.
