This is sort of a follow-up on my previous blog about my chair saga:
 
I came home from work tonight, flipped on the light in my computer room, and what did I see?
 
Hubby had surprised me with a new, very comfortable computer chair!
 
I don't have to go scrounging or dragging in the neighbors throw aways anymore!  I guess it is an anniversary gift as that is coming up this weekend.  I am surprised that he was able to keep it a secret.  He usually can't wait to give me gifts after he buys them--even wants me to open Christmas presents days early!
 
The surprise made me happy on one hand, but I opened a dentist bill that made me sick at the same time.  Oh, well--have to take the good with the bad.  And the bad is, if I pay the dentist bill, I won't have the money to buy hubby something nice for our anniversary!  Hope he doesn't take back the chair!

    Happy anniversary! :)

    (And gah, I'd be thrilled if all I got for Christmas was a new computer chair...this one is the epitome of seat suckage. :-D)

    the infernal optimist:  I must be in tune--just stopped in one last time before I am (trying) to make myself go to bed...  my back feels better already though!  I am so amazed at my hubby that, even when I forget how good he is to me, he up and surprises me with something like this!  I know that where he is, trying to get home, he is thinking, "I wonder what she thought when she saw that chair?"
     
    He needs a good anniversary!

    How sweet and thoughtful!  Can't you stall on the dental bill and pull an O.Henry surprise for your hubby for your anniversary?

    uniquely-ironic:  Hubby likes to pay things off right away if we can, but I don't want to spend my "stash" I have been saving for a dental bill!  I thought I didn't owe anything but the final adjustment from a few trips over the last months came in, I guess.  Every time I left the office, they would say I didn't own anything--and that the insurance was covering me up to a certain amount.  To get the bill now really sucks!
     
    Daily:  Hi Lady!  Thanks!  I was joking, he won't take the chair back of course... I am either going to make a few small payments, or ask hubby to pay it all off--and I will pay him back (maybe!)  But I'm not letting go of my wad of cash I have hidden away...ha.....  He was a mean dentist, anyway...

    wombat- I love those new comfortable computer chairs. I'll bet you fall asleep in it, like the other night when you and I were the only ones around.

    Happy anniversary!   Get your husband a candy bar and tell him he's just as sweet.
  • wombat said on Oct 19, 2007....
    beyondtheveil:  Yes, it's very comfortable!  And I just may fall asleep in it one of these nights if I don't stop staying up so late!  Have the day off, and I slept most of it away.  I will get him something nice--and like Daily said,  "Screw the dentist!"

  • wombat said on Oct 19, 2007....
    CreativeWoman:  Thank you!  Yes, he can be sweet at times!
  • wombat said on Oct 19, 2007....
    quietone:  Thank you, too, my friend!  He bought the chair and put it together before he went to work! I have today/tonight off, but work early in the morning for awhile.  We hope to go somewhere early so it will still be daylight out and can enjoy the scenery.  Not going far--out to eat somewhere nice, maybe to a motel.  We'll see...    Enjoy your weekend!

    way to go, mr. wombat! so hey, can you post a pic of the new chair? :>

    silverwhisper:  I can't post a pic of the new chair, or of anything--but plan to remedy this as a goal for next year.  (buy a digital camera and learn about photography)
     
    Thanks for the "Happy Anniversary."  This isn't my first marriage, but hopefully my last!  And it was 7 years.  We only went out to dinner and then enjoyed some quiet home-time.  But it was nice--and the weather has been absolutley beautiful the last two days here.  I couldn't have asked for more.
     
    (The chair is still in one piece....lol)
  • silverwhisper said on Oct 22, 2007....
    that's wonderful, wombat, congatulations! and um...i'm glad about the chair? :>
