Today Tiffany came back from the Home Depot Expo Center with a bagful of drawer pulls and knobs for the kitchen. Apparently, the ones we have are gold colored, which is all wrong. The ones she bought and is now installing are silver, which is much better aesthetically.

I have to take her word for it on that part. I am, as she reminds me, an aesthetic retard. It wasn't until this afternoon, as I watched her do her thing, that I even noticed that the knobs on the cabinets don't match the pulls on the drawers. (In my defense, we've only been in this house since April. These things take time.) She was amazed by that. Hey, I said, in my universe there are two types of knobs and drawer pulls: Those that work and those that don't. The rest is just details.

This is probably the real reason why polygamy is a mystery to me. I have a hard enough time understanding the aesthetic needs of one woman.
