Paybacks are a bitch

This happens to all married guys, right? But seriously, I had no idea what I was getting into! After all the years of her going to car events, and shows, I told Lynn that I would take her to this little "quilting, sewing, and crafts fair in Phoenix. Who knew it would be this unbelievably GIANT exposition with miles and miles of white hair ladies pushing and shoving to get at fabric samples, and sewing needles! I think I'm bleeding out my eyes. I figure I should be good for another 10 years of automotive events.

Make lemonade out of lemons. Look for Ford GT type material.

Chat up some women to invent seat covers for us or cheap car covers.

Do NOT ever let your wife see this post, or all you goodwill you supposedly have earned from this "ordeal" will be written-off...., just sayin....

Yes, good man, indeed!!

Jim,
Hate to burst your bubble, but this ONE good deed certainly can't cover 10 years of car events (as fun as they are). That said, you certainly did earn a hearty handful of bonus points for going!

Yep, your expression says it all, Jim! :lol. You’re a good man. I’m sure Lynn appreciated it. You guys need to stop by some time for a visit!

Did you look for someone to make quilted floor mats, or perhaps a quilted or embroidered Ford GT custom jacket or shirt? I think you could have scored big points with Lyn on that.

I know exactly how you felt when I went to a comedy show called "The Mommies". As we were walking into event hall both my girlfriend and another women were pointing at each other saying, "See there's another man here".

Wifey has a far more pathetic look of 'exasperation' on her face when we walk into the 'Vegas Convention Center during SEMA week.

Full truth be told, it's actually more of a combination of that and a 'this-is-going-to-be-a-really-looooooong-boring-day' look. :wink

'Real trooper, she...

How come I didn’t see you guys there? I found the cutest diagonal striped velvet pattern in an emerald color, perfect for a vest I’m making.
