True Love

So as you know, Husband is going back to school full-time. Much to my frustration, he completely takes over our living room, spreading his books, notes and papers everywhere. He has lectures on DVDs to watch, so that means that he also takes over the TV and DVD player. When he is watching his lectures, he needs complete silence. If I interrupt him it better be because I am bleeding to death. I can't even be in the living room because I distract him. Sounds a bit neurotic you say? Well, I agree! For the sake of our marriage, and my sanity, we decided to designate our spare bedroom as his office. That way, when he is in his "school" mode, all he has to do is close the door, and I can still live in our apartment. We bought a cheap TV off of craigslist and then went in search of a DVD player. Standing in the DVD aisle of Target, Husband asked me which DVD player would be a good buy. Using all of my knowledge about DVD players, I said "Get the pink one. It looks cute!" Husband gave me that look that I've seen before: the "you obviously have no idea what you are talking about, so just stand there and look pretty" look. Needless to say, he did not choose the pink one. I was a bit disappointed, but whatever. It's not my DVD player, and I won't be the one using it. A couple days later, while setting up the DVD player, Husband realized that it did not have all the functions he needed and wanted. He went to Target to get another DVD player and returned with the pink one because he knew it would make me happy. Now he has a pink DVD player perched on top of his TV in his office. That, my dear readers, is true love.
