emailing the husband...

Pete and I both have professional types of corporate jobs, which leaves little time for the hours long AIM convos we used to have in the past. (Good old college days). Now days if we need to communicate during work its quick phone calls or one liner emails. I look forward to our commute home together because it gives us some uninterrupted time to just talk to each other.
Instead of just the little blurbs of insite to what is going on in the others head like our emails.

The following is an actual email exchange between us during work:

Are you talking about using the loveseat as chairs for the table? If so, I think that’s a really cool idea! It’s like having a booth at your house! If not, I have no idea where you would want to put it.

The other chairs are cool except the spindle legs are throwing me off. They’re also MDF!

Yes, for the table! I think it would cool to have on the window side. I like that it is armless too!
The MDF really disappointed me about the chairs, as I thought they were really cool design.

(These chairs here, which I think with them now on sale its a much more reasonable price for a something that isn't solid wood)

I think it is super cool which means you’ll probably start to not like it. Only thing is, I’m not sure what would go with it on the other side. Why not get two, one for each side? I know it’s a little expensive but only about $100 more than 2 chairs.

I think one sided is better. One sided looks like we like unpredictable design. Two sided looks like we’re idiots that can’t figure out that couches don’t belong at the table.
I liked the green as well, but I think neutral is better in this case.

Your comment about me not liking it anymore made me chortle.

( Note: I am notorious for changing my mind! Especially with large purchases. One minute I'm all " Oh this is great" and the next I'm straight up " Meh, I think we could do better". This drives Pete nuts. )

I like being an idiot, its part of my manly charm. Ok, we’ll I really like the couch idea but what the heck would go on the other side to look good with it? Even chairs of the same fabric would look good but that’s not easy to find.

Did you call EZPass?

Hey,

I just tried calling you but you’re not able to answer your phone right now. We should really order those chairs if you want to order those chairs. I checked Macy’s and Overstock and both are still listed. But considering both are in clearance, we probably shouldn’t pussyfoot around anymore unless we might kick ourselves!

What do you think?

(Macy's chairs, which are a great price....)

OMG! Maybe this weekend I’ll just cutoff the legs of the table by about 15 inches so we can just sit on the floor.

I’m afraid to ask, but do you still like the couch? If yes, we should order it soon.

********************************************************************************

To sum it up... I still want the eagle mirror and we ordered the love seat from overstock! I am not so patiently awaiting its arrival...
