Some people have tons of patience and some like to poke and push to get results. Guess which one I am?
Modernemama: Honey, notice anything different?
The Guy: You cut your hair?
M: No
Thirty minutes later:
M: I bought another ball to go in the red bowl
TG: So that's what's new?
M: No. Can't you see it?
TG: I'll walk round the house.......
A few minutes later:
TG: Which room is it in?
M: This one.
Thirty minutes later:
TG: You vacuumed?
M: No
TG: Tell me...Please.
Thirty minutes later:
TG: I give in. Tell me
M: No
TG: I'm going to my computer.
The Guy thinks I will have blogged about the new addition to the den decor. The Guy underestimates my powers.
Next morning:
M: Worked it out yet?
TG: Back in a sec. .............
An hour later Polly needs to go outside and as he crosses the great room something catches his eye. I hear "Oh, wow". Apparently if he is staring straight at something it doesn't register but if he walks diagonally past it, it will jump out wrap itself round his consciousness. Whatever, he got it. Finally.
I got new silk drapes I like for the big window in the den, on sale at Pottery Barn. The color is "clay" and they are less bright than they look in the photo. I like them much better than the oatmeal ones from Crate and Barrel. They contrast with the onyx roman shades but not too much. It's amazing what a difference a couple of tones can make. The Guy, once he noticed, approved of the choice too.
So, which kind of person am I? If you guessed both with a side of torture, you win.
