it works
I also remind my dh of the fact that he has a TON of computer parts/superhero things that have taken over the shelves of our basement (and what's supposed to be MY office.. it's getting redecorated after the first of the year and the first thing to go are his super hero things... sunny yellow walls and a pretty darker blue carpet. it's meant to be a sun room so it's going to be full of color since it has 5 windows over the 3 sides not attatched to the house and i have seasonal depression.. plus i need a place to put my tredmill i'll be getting). So given he has a LOT more of his "crud" he can leave mine alone.
