Like many others, there are two sides of myself that seem often to be at odds against each other. The side that wants things in general: a bigger dresser for the kids, a counter height dining table, that pretty skirt, or just going out to eat so I don't have to worry about cooking or cleaning. Then there's the side that is frugal and saves and watches the pennies. The frugal side typically wins out. The lifetime percentage of winning is probably around 85% to the frugal side.
However, these past couple years the desire side has found a way to win out a lot more. All I do is tell my husband I like something (not even WANT) and whether it is in the budget or not, if there are available funds it will be mine. Although I give Troy a hard time about this (due to my frugal side), I do love that he notices and tries everything in his power to do and provide things that he believes will make me happier.
I have to be careful, though. I mentioned to him when I was pregnant the last time that Sunny Delight was a small craving. I also mentioned that I loved Milky Way bars. The next day he came to my office with 2 cases of Sunny D and a 24 count box of Milky Ways. I had so much, I had to share with everyone so my whole office was spoiled. They still remember those days. :) What a great guy.
