getting carpet

We're getting new carpet next week. The stuff we have is only 19 years old, but my wife wants new stuff.

I'm sure this is a woman thing. Always wanting to change something. She's given up on changing me, so now I guess we have to change the rest of her environment.

There's nothing wrong with the carpet we have. I mean there aren't any holes in it, and it still fits the room, unlike our clothes which seem to be shrinking. I imagine we'll need a new washing machine and dryer soon because they're obviously make our clothes smaller.

I'm also pretty sure we'll need a new vacuum cleaner for the new carpet as well. There's nothing wrong with the vacuum cleaner we have, except it doesn't get used very often. Which may explain why we need new carpet.

I let my wife pick out the color of the carpet. I suspect it will be something between orange and purple. Which of course, will necessitate new drapes and furniture.

I sometimes wonder why, when I was single, I thought that was not a good situation. What the hell, it's only money, and apparently we have a lot of that tucked away somewhere I don't know about.
