I think I inherited this winter house re-do from my mother. She was constantly changing the decor in my childhood home. Even now, when I go for a visit, inevitably there are new throw pillows on the couch, a new chair, a new vase.....something!
My husband cannot understand this need, this urge, this want. He thinks it's a waste. He thinks the house is fine the way it is. Maybe it is. (I must tell you, he is not one to notice changes in the decor around here. Are there any men who do???) Can't he see that I need to have some sort of hobby!!! I mean I can only exercise so much. I don't want to look like Tara Reid for god's sake! So to end this tale of shopping bliss, I purchased a lovely new framed print for my family room. It was only $25. A bargain! We'll see how long it takes for the man to notice it. My guess is summer 2009!

Hmmmm, I was just thinking about something YOU said to ME not long ago... I think it was a quote from YOUR OWN FATHER:
Is it a NEED? Or is it a WANT?
Good thing you didn't pledge to curb impulse spending in the new year like I did!
My husband, incidentally, notices EVERY new thing, but its usually with that LOOK on his face like he just ate something slightly past its freshness date, followed by a comment like "Is that a NEW butterchurn?"
I've got you covered on this one, Fitfreak...it's a NEED to WANT!:) Just as we feel about ourselves...if we look good, we feel good....if the home looks good, we feel good...and when we are spending these cold winter days INSIDE...we need that change, just like the seasons!! Who cares what the hubbies think...if they spent as many hours as we do inside these four walls...they'd make changes, too....Hmmmmmmmmm......if only.....
