Are you a princess?
Do you thrive under the weight of showered gifts from your Hubby?
If said Hubby/boyfriend/significant other were to buy you something VERY expensive,
say like a Porsche...
a red one,
Would you be happy and throw yourself at him declaring your undying love?
Or would you say,
"What the heck were you thinking? You don't think a purchase this large using our joint finances warranted some discussion?"
You know, because really you already have two cars and you have visions of fireworks, dancing mice, and Splashing Mountains dancing through your head for the fall.
Like I said, hypothetically speaking-- there's no shiny red car in my drive.
Oh, I'd totally throw my self at him and declare devout, wild unabandoned undying love! As a matter of fact....I'd throw myself right on TOP of him and do so while wearing a little etsy apron :).........

I would do the above sans the apron (world is not ready) and then worry in the morning....
ReplyDeleteI would be annoyed that he had spent money that we do not have on such an expensive toy!
ReplyDeletei love presents, all presents. i guess im a princess... shower me with tribute!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a wanna be princess.
ReplyDeleteI. WOULD. KILL. HIM! OK, not kill him, but holy no spending that kind of money Batman!
ReplyDeleteHypothetically speaking...I would be mad as all get out that he spent that much money. I KNOW..sounds crazy but, I'm just keepin it real. I'm a practical girl stuck in a princesses body (minus the smokin hot, always tanned, perfect body). I want the gifts but, don't spend the money. My poor hubby can't win. Wondering if this post comes on the heels of watching Oprah? Similar topic yesterday...hmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteI would like to think I would yell at him. but then I would probably hug him too and then go for a drive!
ReplyDeleteAll I'm saying is that I LOVED the wheat grinder he got me for Christmas and said, "Oh, look at that. Thanks!" when he got me an iPod.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a princess. I loved it for about a week when he bought me an expensive camera for Christmas as a surprise. Then I stressed for a few more until I got the thing paid off. I'll have to go with Woman #2.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm . . . (as she adjusts her tiara). . . I would frown, shake my head, purse my lips to tsk-tsk him and then I would take the top down and go for a drive (with him of course). My hubby does buy on impulse . . . but only what funds will allow. He's a truly conservative spoiler (oxymoronic, I know . . . but true).
ReplyDeletep.s.
Did I mention that he has actually done this very thing . . . on more than one occasion? Last one was white and family-sized . . . and I LOVE IT every day I drive it!
Okay, I'm removing the tiara and going down to vacuum . . . NO WAIT! I can vacuum just fine with a tiara on -- silly me!
Hope you have a GREAT DAY! (I plan to.)
I can see how it would be a bit too much to spend money on a car without first consulting the would-be driver. I just wonder if you'd look at it differently if said gift were, say, a camera? Personally, as a man, I find it extremely difficult to NOT want to lavish my wife with gifts. That's just me though.
ReplyDeleteI'd be very distressed if it was a red Porsche. Oh, but a blue one!.. ;)
ReplyDeleteIf the funds to pay for said car came out of our joint bank account I would be ticked that he didn't discuss first but if he paid for it out of his own account I'd strip him naked right where he stood! lol

ReplyDeleteI'd kill him. Make him bring it back first and THEN kill him.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely NOT a princess.
Although I do accept SMALL purchases such as chocolate, ice cream, flowers, etc... those are not only acceptable but necessary :)
I'd want to first of all be (a) Queen (not a princess) and (b) have the option to kill him! :)
ReplyDeleteI would be concerned that he was sick. My hubby can barely buy me a coffee without my directions.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the "what the heck were you thinking" camp, because that would have been OUR money he was throwing around willy nilly without discussion.
ReplyDeleteUnless, of course, there was a surprise winning lottery ticket involved... then it might be okay. Maybe.
No shiny car in my driveway...nope. :)
ReplyDeletewe're already kind of in this situation. my hubby wants to buy a new TV (i'm totally with him on this) however, considering how strapped our finances are, i think it prudent to wait a little while longer and see how things go before purchasing something that expensive---and plus the fact that my parents help us out with food and stuff from time to time i would hate for them to walk in our apartment and see a new 42 inch flat-screen tv and wonder how we ever came up with the money to buy that?!?! ;)
ReplyDeleteMy hubby does not shower me with gifts, in part because of our finances. However, when he does give me something unexpected, I do worry about the finances of it, and it does ruin the gift a bit.
ReplyDeleteThis is really really bad; spoiled rotten awful princess. "But I don't WANT a Porsche." Yeah I know boo hiss. Actually anything nice and new would be pretty cool, but if it is going to be a sports car something else. VW bugs are pretty cute, and much cheaper....
ReplyDeleteso what's your dream car princess?
I would declare...Hand me the D@#$ keys!! tehe..
ReplyDeleteI have a hard enough time seeing a mouse...dancing?! That would cause all sorts of bodily issues!! giggling..
Think I need to hit the sack..sounding quite silly..it's all them fireworks!! heehee
Hugs!!
*laugh*
ReplyDeleteI scrolled down in search of a photo of the red car
then I saw your last line. *eyes rolled*
I would Hypothetically rip him to pieces. In the nicest possible way. But not before I had driven said car to village shop and bought the milk, to admiring glances.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd be upset if hub spent a large amount of money without a discussion. And you can tell him that I said that! LOL bet he's scared now.
ReplyDeleteNo, no, no, no this one was justifiable! And so worth it!
ReplyDeleteOk- confession time. I'm overjoyed with the Fitz & Floyd he sends me from the Outlet Store where he lives. BUT- I'm oh not so grateful when he purchased a $2,500. pool table, right before we may move, MEANING, I have to SELL or GIVE AWAY some of my priceless treasures to make up for the increased 2,000 lbs. weight!
