You know you have a good man when, despite all this, he comes home after a disagreement with the best make-up gift ever:

A whole tub all to myself! We decided I wouldn’t share and see how long it takes me to eat all 70. Let the countdown begin.

After we mended the disagreement, I asked him if he picked up anything else at Sam’s. Oh not much, he said, just this:

A GIANT clock! About the time we moved into the new place, we both became obsessed with Mission: GIANT clock. We absolutely had to have one for the apartment, we decided. But despite searching far and wide, we could never find one that was affordable, yet not horribly French country.

Finally, when we weren’t even looking, we spotted this monstrosity at Sam’s Club the other day. Because of my (hopefully temporary) money woes, I said we’d just have to wait and hope it’s still there in a few weeks, and we walked out sans clock.

Thank god my boyfriend is not as tight-fisted as I am because life is definitely better with a GIANT clock on the wall. And 70 cream puffs in the freezer.
