A wasteful Wednesday, Oui?

"Yesssssss, a penny!!!"

I am so torn. I don't know what to post about this lovely icy day. It's not that I have a lack of material; I have too much material. I could post one of the perfect days from my vacation, I could post about my exciting plans for the weekend, or how happy I am to be back in the blogosphere posting and commenting on blogs.

The purpose of my Wednesday Oui? has always been to post about something that makes me smile, laugh, or feel good about life. Honestly, I have 10 vacation/birthday postings in "draft" waiting to be published, all of which are wonderful, and all deserved of 'Oui' status. The fact that I can't decide what, out of a million good things, is the best of them should be the Oui, but I know my readers would kill me if I didn't elect one of the best things.

So here goes. This will make you and me smile.

I cut Aaron's hair. He likes me to do it, he trusts me, and I do a great job. Mainly I cut his hair for three reasons:

1. I worked in a salon when I was in grad school, so I know a thing or two about a thing or two.
2. Aaron is too cheap to pay for a haircut and too busy to schedule time out of his day.
3. He REALLY likes it when I cut his hair and beard.

Recently, after cutting his hair he asked me, "how much money did we just save?" I told him, "about $20," and he said we should go put that $20 in the bank (he is all about saving $ lately, which is great because I am the same way- but he has become pretty obsessed with the prospect of (as he calls it) "buying me a house"(like I am going to be the only one living there) so he literally gets all giddy when he finds a penny in the parking lot at Blockbuster, "Yesssssss, a penny" [true story] he's been watching househunters on TV nonstop, and making a budget, as seen below)

I'm not so much worried about the $20 for a haircut, or the penny at Blockbuster... It seems he wastes much more than that!!!!! ;0)

And just so you know... the story behind the chapstick... Aaron is obsessed with chapstick. He always has one or two in his pocket. Always. Including when his clothes go into the washer and dryer.
