Curio Cabinets & MORE!

~~~You know how it is that just 5 minutes ago, I had already relayed in my head an entire first paragraph that I was going to write on my blog. Well, I rushed over here, and Ka-Blash! What was that paragraph I just so eloquently wrote in my head??
~~~ It sux getting old... they say the memory is the first to go... they may be right.

Yesterday I was stressing out big time! You see, a couple of weeks ago I decided I was gonna purchase the curio cabinet that I have been saving up for to put all of Jeffrey's comic book statutes and figures collections, to display them in. I have a dear friend that just happens to work in a furniture store, and she was keeping an eye open for a cabinet for me. Well, one came in that was perfect! I went ahead and purchased one. While I was there, I looked over some other furniture. Hmm..... they were having a great sale with no interest for x amount of time.... so, I picked up a couple of other things. Well, the more you buy, the better the deal is for the x-mas special that they have, Interest FREE! So, I decided to get another curio cabinet!

Ladies, y'all know what I'm talking about.... the adrenaline just gets to you, as the deal keeps getting sweeter and sweeter with the larger the purchase! I was on a HIGH!

So, I left the store feeling really good! I thought to myself, I'll just "surprise" DH after the furniture arrives and have the display cabinets all filled up! Well, as the days passed, and the time got closer and closer to the delivery date, I started having qualms about how DH would react. One day I would feel great and all excited and pictured DH's excitement as he saw what I had done! Then, the next day (even though I had gotten a Super deal), I'd start second guessing myself, wondering if DH would really be happy or MAD....

Yesterday, I received a credit card in the mail from that store. DH opened it and didn't think twice about it, and just gave it to me! :~D. I started getting nervous.... and almost said something, but since Piper had just ripped up the carpet in the living room and DH had not had lunch that day, cuz he was in meetings all day... I decided I would not tell him of what was to come on Friday (the delivery date), and just yell "SURPRISE!" I tell y'all what - I worked myself up into a frenzy! I had this Major Headache! I hadn't had this type of headache in a long time! AND, I was OUT of Wine!! I still had my headache this morning, so I looked for some Excedrin (always takes my headaches away!). I'm OUT! But, I did find some Excedrin Tension Headache meds (which I never take), but Oh My, they worked WONDERFUL! No headache! They must have caffeine in them cuz, after I dropped DH at work at dark-thirty this morning, I stopped to have a breakfast taquito with some SUPER HOT SAUCE - or was it the PICO DE GALLO (jalapenos peppers w/onion, tomato & cilantro) that was HOT! Anyway, my sinuses are cleaned out.

Does it sound like I'm on a caffeine high? Anyway, today, I'm getting the house ready for the furniture delivery on Friday. I think I will call DH on Friday after lunch and suggest that he stop for some beers after work before he comes home. Hmm.... Can't hurt.

For those of you who live close by and know me.... please, please do not let the cat out of the bag!
P.S. Please keep positive thoughts for me!

Yiiikes! I can't stand it! I have to wait a few more days to find out what happens? I'm thinking he's going to love it. It sounds like a great idea. Will you post a photo also?

Cheryl said...

Oh I sure do know what you are feeling! I have done the same thing, go back and forth about a purchase, make myself almost sick worrying about it and then my dear husband will say "go ahead, you deserve it" and all is well! Will keep my fingers crossed that your hubby has the same reaction!

Dez said...

Kay, YES! I also have to wait a few more days to find out! Yes, I'll send photos as soon as I can. :)
Cheryl: YES, EXACTLY! I've been going through those same emotions. I hope he pleasantly surprises me and doesn't freak out! Yes, please do keep fingers and toes crossed!
