Make sure to apologize for what you do and don't understand about this because either way it is your fault.

I can play it safe and double it just in case, but if that’s wrong, I’ll get the exasperated “how many people do you think we’re feeding?”

If I DON’T double it and I’m wrong, I’ll get the “how are we supposed to feed the party?”

You’re thinking you’re in a no win situation.

I think you’re in a no lose situation. You get it right and she’s grateful. You get it wrong and she never asks you to go to the store again.

You might want to “forget” to buy certain crucial items.

I got in trouble tonight because the pup got ahold of a little craft that the misses left laying where he could get to it.

The wife sees this project in a magazine and asks me to build it. It's basically a place to hang coats and stuff in the entry way. Very simple. I notice the one in the magazine just nailed the boards to the drywall. I decided to buy a furniture grade piece of plywood to use to give it a more refined look than having drywall as the backing. After I glue and screw the plywood to the wall, she gets upset because the project in the magazine didn't use plywood. lol

It's similar to this without the storage.

On the flip side. I've been there. Trying to convince my wife we can do this because there's nobody else around to help. She will usually protest at first, but then give it the ole' college try. Then I have to try to convince her we were "so close" after the first failed attempt. She has surprised me a few times.

That's my wife. I think she's reluctant to high five because she thinks it's some way of acknowledging I was right. lol

I thought her name was Quinntastic. I thought she was a good poster but when I try to @ her name, I'm not finding it so either her account has been deleted or I'm misremembering.

Yeah, Quinn used to post several years ago. She had a lot going on in real life, no idea what happened to her. Good people.
There was also a Trojan Princess many years ago, something similar to that. She was surprisingly not very trolly if I remember. No idea what happened to her either.

Had the same experience with the wife’s dreams until about 10 years ago. Not sure why she stopped, but I’m fine with that. Lol
