Have you ever heard the phrase, "It's easier to ask forgiveness that permission"? Well, that's where I am now. The wife knew I was looking at boats, and "probably" going to buy one. She didn't really like the idea, but after 20 years, she knows I'll do it and let her be mad for a couple of days. I always buy her something to make up for it! So, I finally found my boat, took it out for a trial, hired a surveyor, negotiated a price, and picked it up (all with out telling her)!! She came home from work and I was in a pretty good mood (boat was at our farm in a barn). Right as I was going to tell her all about my adventure and how much fun we are going to have this summer, she starts complaining about money. Christmas time, we have two kids graduating this year, senior pictures, need a new couch, blah, blah, blah. I figured my story could wait. That's been a month and I still haven't mentioned it! Any ideas on how to tell her without having to move on to the boat?
