Ronnie: Hello?
Me: Hey Hottie - I love you!
Ronnie: Oh crap, wha'd you do?
Me: Nothing...
Ronnie: What did you buy?
Me: Nothing...yet.
Ronnie: What do you want?
Me: Well, I'm at Sam's Club and they have this really good deal on KitchenAid mixers - do you remember the other day how I was saying that it would be sooooo nice to have a KitchenAid mixer?
Ronnie: No
Me: Well, I did and WE really, really need one.
Ronnie: How much?
Me: Not too much...like a couple hundred ($285)
Ronnie: (sigh) I guess, but you owe me
Me: Yippee! Should I get a red or black one?
Ronnie: Get a black one...for sure a black one...
Me: Ok
I totally got a red one!
Several months ago I came home to an ugly scene - Ronnie sitting in front of the computer with a piece of paper and pen. On the paper, three colums...Linz...Me...Us - Oh crap, he was really adding up all of the money that I had spent the previous month, all that he had spent, and all that we had spent together - BUSTED! It didn't go over too bad, and I did learn a few valuable lessons 1) Ronnie has now been able to breach all of my security passwords on our bank account...he even figured out my grandma's maiden name and where my grandpa was born (I just made that answer up-I really have no idea where he was born) apparently I thought it was iron clad 2) I really DO spend a lot of money and I really AM spoiled. 3) It's OK to get what I want, but maybe sometimes I should let Ronnie have a turn to get something that he really wants. 4) Never tell Ronnie that he can have whatever he wants...he'll end up coming home with this...
It's not a joke, my husband is the VERY proud new owner of a 1976 Stingray Corvette...I think HE owes ME now! Ronnie has always been a "car guy" - to anyone who's been to our house, that's not really a secret. He has 4 cars parked in the RV parking area, 2 cars parked in the garage (one of them being the Corvette), and our 2 everyday drivers got that shaft and are now parked in the driveway...sigh!

That is too funny! You come home with a mixer and he comes home with a corvet sting ray! The car looks awesome, and Ronnie looks very proud! Congrats, Ronnie! Oh, and congrats on your KitchenAid, too, Lindsay.
That is really funny-he really pulled that one over on you! I am definitely not showing Tayler this post because it might give him some ideas I don't want him to have. :) Glad you guys are doing well.
So, you get a red kitchen-aid mixer and he gets a red car! Wow he really got the best end of that deal :)! How fun for him, your a lot better of a wife than I would be I would never let Chris have that many cars and make mine sit out on the driveway. Looks like lots of fun and you are guilt free of all your purchases.
I'm totally jealous-I want a kitchen aid mixer so bad!
All I can say is "Our boys and their cars...!"
I would just like to point out that the Whose in the title should be Who's...but that's beside the point. I want a ride in that car ASAP! As long as all traffic laws are obeyed of course...;)
Ha ha! At least the mixer and the car match! You should've made Ronnie pose with the mixer in his hand!
I kind of think Ronnie has been just building up to this for a couple years now!
That's hilarious! You crack me up! So funny that he's like black for sure! And you're like, Ok. Or not :) I do love the red kitchen aid! And way to score one, Ronnie! I must say the Vette is even cooler than a classic Mustang. It is beautiful! I'm sure it makes you happy Linz, to make Ronnie so happy! And oh my goodness, I just saw all your cakes. Are you kidding me? You are so talented it's not even funny! I wish I could do that!!! How much do you charge for your hours of effort?
Oh Lindsay I just love you and everything you do and get and have! Tell Ron he owes Stephen a ride...and maybe you can convince him to let you take me for a ride!
LOVE all that red! :) You are both spoiled!!!
