I Bitch

I hate shopping. I hate it on general principle. But I hate it even more when we're not shopping for anything we want, but stuff we're obligated to buy because of other people. Like how we had to go out today and buy a whole bunch of new special bedding, because the SO's mother doesn't want to sleep on the cheap stuff we use.

Now, admittedly this didn't cost us anything, because a year ago she gave us money to buy new bedding. But since we were perfectly happy sleeping on the cheap stuff, and frankly had better things to spend hundreds of dollars on, we didn't bother. Sadly, her arrival is imminent, and we had to spend our entire afternoon searching for things that might meet with her approval.

And it was bloody annoying. And my time is worth more than this.

I never gave a damn what I slept in, as long as it was a bed of some sort. Two months of sleeping on an inflatable mattress while the bed was in transit did get vaguely tiresome, I'll grant you, but I can't tell the difference between the quality of sheets. I'm asleep or distracted!

I actually like shopping for plants and gardens (it comes close behind manga shopping XD), so you definitely win.

I'm having a hard time imagining how such an uptight mom could have spawned such a pleasant laid-back cool guy as your S.O.

So does he, frequently. Thankfully he's a lot more like his dad.
