Putting up Halloween decor in our front yard. We got one of those giant spider webs that you mount at the top of the house and then stretch out into the yard.

We had it up and it looked kind of shabby, so we took it back down to get it spaced out properly. During the process, the top, thinner portion of the web where all the strings meet got twisted and tangled.

ME: “We should stretch the bottom out into the yard and just lay it out. Untangle it on the ground, then it’ll be easier to put back up as long as we’re careful to not twist it again.”

WIFE [Climbing Ladder]: “No I think I can just stand up here and untwist the top, that’ll be easiest I think.”

ME [Understanding that this will turn into a frustrating experience, and definitely a fight if we do it the dumb way]: “OR, we could just stretch it out and make sure we hang it straight from the start instead of trying to untwist a bunch of strings on a ladder.”

WIFE: [Considering this idea carefully, ultimately proceeding with my method without saying any words.]

My lady cut the grass today while I played golf. Didn’t need to weed eat though because she did that last week along with cutting the grass when I was golfing.

She wanted to clean the house too, but I told her to relax and just cook those steaks in the grill.

Tomorrow She’ll clean the house which includes cleaning the shit off the back of my toilet then while wearing her ND gear will prepare food for the game.

Last week, assembling the 12 foot skeleton Halloween decoration for the front yard she just had to have:

"This was pretty stupid, wasn't it?"

Me: (something between a uh huh and hmmmmm)

Yesterday, still taking said skeleton apart and putting it away until next year

"Why did I buy this thing?"

Me: (sighs softly, under breath, for no one to hear)

Those things are all the rage now. I see them everywhere.

I see some folks who got the "Jack Skellington" version from Nightmare Before Christmas and they deck him out into a Santa outfit, so at least they get more out of their decoration for the holidays.

There are a couple of different versions. I knew it was inevitable that we were going to get one. She ended up getting one in July from Home Depot while it was on sale, which to her credit was a wise consumer move considering buying one in the first place is a questionable purchase at all in my opinion.

I also had a coupon for Home Depot that took off another $25. So in the end, I felt fiscally responsible as I could about it.

Most HOA have rules about leaving decorations up. Some people leave these skeletons up all year long now in pilgrim outfits, Santa outfits, football uniforms, St Patrick Day green, etc.

They're a pain in the ass.

I feel blessed. My wife loves to decorate for Halloween with gravestones, skeletons, lights, scary pumpkins, etc. She wanted to get one of those 12ft skeletons but decided against it because of the price. I did have to get about 12ft in the air to hang her giant spiderweb. lol

Neighbors had one of those Jack Skellingtons last year, it was every bit of 13ft or more. It was tall enough to be eye level with the 2nd story windows.

Our yard is pretty awesome every year. We're right on the corner and the first house you see when you turn into the subdivision. It's an attraction every year.

The only reason we got one was because they marked it down in July and we had the coupon. I knew it was a matter of time when the deal was going to be right. LOL.

My wife is rather conservative on many of the issues, but she certainly thinks of herself as a die-hard full left liberal and HATES Trump (despite holding many of the same positions). My 13-year-old likes him and my 26-year-old married stepdaughter is very conservative and likes him. My wife is appalled by the fact that both her daughters are conservative. Anyway, she was talking to the 26-year-old tonight and just to be funny, the girl told her congratulations on winning the election. My wife was NOT amused. LOL! She got majorly pissed, got mad at both girls, and I began getting phone calls at work from all three. My wife was pissed, the 13-year-old was mad and crying about Mom yelling at her for no reason, and the older daughter thought it was all funny that she kicked the hornets' nest and I had to deal with her mom. Flippin' women.

I've "known" ACamp for roughly 14 years. He's been getting steak and BJ Thursdays that entire time...

I bought myself a throwback Pens jersey (The light blue one with the circular logo). I took some wrapping paper from my mom so it's different wrapping paper than what we have in-house. I put it under the tree with "To My Love, From Sasha" (not my wife's name). My wife just saw it over the weekend,... fun times,... lol
