Mr. B and I finally had a productive weekend, the weather was perfect, we actually got dressed and went out, we got a lot done and we enjoyed every minute of it. As soon as I am finished with one of my projects I will post about our weekend and show you what I made- hopefully tonight! Since I haven't blogged all weekend, I don't want to disappoint and leave any one hanging one more day so I'll leave you with some busy work read {which I always hated in school btw}.
I forgot to mention this story last weekend...
While Mr. B was taking his test and Mama K, Smelly Sr. and I went to a few shops, Smelly Sr. went into a golf/sporting store to look for a hat. He came out wearing this hat...

Except it was burgundy, not black, but that really doesn't matter, I would just hate for you to get the wrong visual description for this story. Just taking care of my followers nothing new...
So he came out with this great-Nike-perfect-fit-to-his-head hat. He's all excited about how wonderful the fit was and how nice of a hat it was for only $15. It was on clearance. Perfect. Mission accomplished.
He asked Mama K and I if we knew what the "TW" stood for and we had no idea (shocking I know). Wilson Tennis, with the letters in the wrong order?? That's the best I could think of, but decided it was best to keep it to myself considering the fact it was primarily a golf store and it wouldn't exactly make sense to put the letters in reverse order. Over the years I have learned to keep certain comments like this in my head. Where they belong. Instead of making a fool of myself. Anyways, we shrugged it off, agreed on the good deal and continued our way back to the apartment.
When Mr. B, a big sports guru- knows everything about everything, arrived home the conversation went something like this:
Mr. B {sarcastically}: Nice hat, Dad.
Smelly Sr {in all seriousness}: Yeah! You like it? On sale- only $15 across the street. I don't know what all this means though. What does the "TW" stand for?
Mr. B: Tiger Woods.
Everyone mumbles:
Duh, that makes sense.
Well that explains why it's on clearance.
Real nice.
Way to represent.
Smelly Sr: Oh...well it's still a nice hat and was only $15.
Because sometimes a good deal is a good deal and that's all that matters.
Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend!!

Hahaha! I wouldn't have had any clue either, but I bet that's why it was on clearance ;)
LOL...that is too funny! ;-) Can't wait to see what project you are going to share!
Hahaha! That does explain why it's on clearance. He's right though - a nice hat is a nice hat!
Good explanation J! I will make sure he reads the blog tonight! =)
Got a good chuckle out of this one :-) Hope your day is going well! Can't wait to hear about what your weekend project was! Your new follower, ~Kristin from Windy Poplars
Wow, that is HILARIOUS!
I love when you say you try to keep comments like those in your head--totally do the same thing!
Actually the story misses a key fact that I chose not to share...
Turns out the guy selling me this said, "what do you think about the comeback?" Of course since I was wearing my Bills shirt and crocs, and like Smelly Jr - I think all things revolve around the Bills, I assumed he meant them - to which I replied with what turned out be a profound response now that I know what he really meant, "the typical hype that will be eclipsed by the reality of performance."
Smelly, Sr
I never would have realized either. How funny. I agree though, still a good deal.
Haha, that's too funny! A good deal though is a deal! :-)
LOL -- "What's TW!!!" Well .... maybe that hat will be big again once he starts playing in the Master's again!
At least Smelly Sr. is practical and unswayed by political correctness.
Oooops, I forgot about the shrine...
