How is it possible....

for two people who have been married forever more years than I care to count, can be so different?!? Just so everyone's on the same page....I'm talking about me and J. I won't go into detail but suffice it to say that today has been one of those hard days many marriages have. A very hard day.

We do things so differently it's not even funny. Here's an example that might explain how today's gone. We received a coupon from Lowe's for $10 off a $50 purchase and $25 off a $250 purchase. So....off to Lowe's we go. We get an umbrella for the outside (plus a stand), tomato plants, other veggie and herb plants, topsoil, and mulch. I wish I'd kept my mouth shut about the larger coupon, but I didn't. So....we get to the checkout and find our total to be a little over $200. I say, "Just use the $10 coupon." But....NooooooOOOOOoooo. J tells the checker to add as many bags of mulch as needed to bring the total up to $250. &%$@!

So, now, we have a shitpot amount of mulch and, what really bugs me, is that we spent our savings in mulch!
