If you get new carpet...

Our house is 10.5 years old now, and although the builder put in good quality carpet, he put in carpet that is a very light grayish off-white. White carpet...I loved how light and airy it made the house when I walked in it. The honeymoon ended when my husband somehow splattered soy sauce all over the new white carpet (while in the middle of the kitchen) right after we moved in. Add three dogs and two kids and you know why I am dreaming of new carpet...until I priced it at Costco one day. I still dream, but mostly of having it cleaned again.

Anyway, in honor of my white carpet and my future dreams, I found this on one of my blog-reading wanderings. My husband will be saying 'AMEN!' :)

"IF YOU BUY YOUR WIFE NEW CARPET"

If you buy your wife some carpet, she's going to ask for wood plantation shutters.
When you get her the plantation shutters she'll probably ask for wood flooring in the dining room.
When that's finished she'll ask for a new kitchen table and chairs,
then she'll want to look in the kitchen and make sure that doesn't look like crap.
When she looks in the kitchen she'll notice it does look crappy
She's going to need that redone.
she'll then notice she needs an attached garage off the kitchen.
So she'll probably ask for an attached garage.
When your finished with the attached garage she'll want a new car to go in the garage.
when that's done she'll want to take the new car on a ride.
you'll have to pack the kids and go over night somewhere.
when she's sitting at the nice hotel pool she'll remember she's had 4 kids and she'll need a tummy tuck and a front end alignment
After the body ramifications she'll need to shop for new clothes
While shopping she will also have to buy you new clothes
while putting her new clothes away she think she needs a bigger closet
After you build her a bigger closet she'll want a master bathroom
when she's in the master bathtub she'll need a nanny to watch the 4 kids
while the nanny is with the 4 kids she'll want to get a job.
when she gets home from the job and walks into the front room she'll see the carpet and remember that she needs new carpet.
