The Chalkboard Debate
One of the things I really like to do is shop for my home. I love to change the decor with the seasons, and am in the midst of turning my house from summer to fall. This involves switching the stuff on the mantles, the table settings, the front door, etc. I am a sucker for Pottery Barn -- looking at that catlog thrills me and kills me at the same time, because it's so beautiful, but I want it all!
Recently, I saw the cutest little chalkboard that I thought would look great in our kitchen. It's not very big, but was the perfect size for leaving notes or list making or whatever. For some reason (and this is completely out of character for me), I mentioned it to my husband. Normally I would just buy it and not think twice about it.
He freaked.
It was the weirdest thing. He never cares about stuff like that, especially something as minor as a kitchen chalkboard. For some reason, he was under the impression that if I had a chalkboard at my disposal, my inner school marm would appear and would leave him notes like:
"Mugs go in the dishwasher-- not in the sink".
Hmm. That does sort of sound like me. But I haven't given up hope yet.
