It's About Time

I’ve wanted a big clock for my kitchen for a long time (read “six years”). It wasn’t a secret. For the last couple of years, my mom would call on my birthday, anniversary, Mother’s Day, and Christmas and ask “Did he get you a clock?” No. In Nate’s defense . . . um, never mind . . . I can’t really think of a good defense. Anyway, last week we found this awesome clock. Perfect size, perfect color, perfect price (40% off). The cashier mocked it when we were checking out – “Where are you go to hang a giant clock?” – but she just doesn’t know my walls. It makes me happy every time I look at it and I’m pretty sure it has saved me loads of time already since I don’t have to walk over to the computer or the stove to see what time it is.

So, Nate read this post before I published, and this was his reaction:

Um, "I can't really think of a good defense"? What!?!?!? How about "I kept telling Nate that I would probably just make a clock for our wall to save money, and I had some clocks on my eBay watch list that he kept telling me to buy since he doesn't even have an eBay account, but I never did. Finally HE spied this great clock when we were at ShopKo last week. What a great husband to find this great clock on a great deal! He's great!"

I suppose that is a bit more accurate. He is great!
