jawtheshark's Journal: My wife: the creative mind

What do you get if my wife buys a 10€ IKEA table, some mozaik stones and some mortar?

You don't know? Well, I do! (We'll have some cleaning to do after that, but I'm just very proud of my wife)

Very nice job

Lovely to have the creative touch in the home.

You should see her paintings.... I am black, she is white. We are completely different, and somehow we match. Weird, isn't it?

Not really. My wife and I are 180 degrees from each other on a lot of things, some of them fundamental, but it works, and for 15 years now. It's long been a personal theory of mine that long term relationships benefit from a little friction now and again. You ever meet those couples who are so in sync with each other? Creepy, and not very long lasting, from my personal observations.

True, I know this from my parents that having an argument is natural and helps the relationship. Alas, my wife has divorced parents and whenever we argue, she sees the argument ending in divorce. For me an argument is just an argument, for her, it announces impending doom.

As said, we're sometimes day and night....

Very cool

Did she make up the tile layout on the fly?

Re:

Not really... You can get them in patches of 10x5cm for decorating bathrooms, I think. So, except for the pre-made patches, yes, the rest is her doing.

That's a LACK table

Ah, the IKEA fan in me immediately recognizes the LACK table, and concludes in today's bad play of words:

Looks as if your wife found out what the table LACKed.

(Ahem.)

Nice idea, kudos to your wife!

*drumroll*

Lemme guess, you're here all week? ;-)

Re:

[Doctor O]

No, if all I get is a drumroll... I'm from the Rheinland, I need a concluding fanfare. ;)

HELAU!

Oh, wait. Karveval's over. Never mind.

Re:

Thanks for downplaying my wifes creativity :-/

To hell with the AC. I'm not the first man to paint a room blue, but I liked the way it looked and the way it felt, and that's what's important.

Re:

The LACK mosaic is a very common DIY project.

I didn't know that and suppose Jorg's wife didn't either. ;)

Then again, creating a /. account and posting with it is a common DIY project, too, and you didn't even do *that*, so who are you to complain? ;)
