I told SWMBO recently that before we could consider spending money for furniture or home improvements, we would need to have a budget. That way we could prioritize things and keep our financial reserves healthy. (Yes, some people still do that.)
I hadn’t given it much thought, but today, when I came home from work, I saw a flooring sample on the table. I thought, “Uh oh, something is gonna cost me some money.” Fortunately, SWMBO allayed my fears. She said she went to the flooring store to get estimates so she could make her budget. As we looked at the sample she told me about an exchange she had with the gentlemen working at the store.
“The guys working at the store asked me if I wanted to take a sample home for your husband to see,” she said. “I told them, ‘It doesn’t matter what he thinks.’” Apparently, that elicited a sympathetic laugh from the gentlemen.

What my husband, Steve, says is true. But he “forgot” to mention was that while the gentlemen were eliciting their sympathetic laughs, I stated that my husband doesn’t like to make decorating decisions. He trusts my opinion. I’m glad he has a good sense of humor.
Yes, dear. Anything you say, dear. I don’t have to sleep on the floor again tonight, do I? – SOS

He also is an engineer so everything he would pick would be concrete cause it lasts longer.
Hey, it’s durable, and you can get the epoxy paint with sprinkles to put on it. Sprinkles are cool! – SOS
