My husband is an incredibly picky person.  He is so fussy, I have a really hard time choosing things for him.  In my previous post, “Five Phrases My Husband Hates to Hear Coming Out of My Mouth”, I wrote that he has a closet full of clothes with tags on them that I bought that he refuses to wear.  With Father’s Day coming up, I am getting more and more worked up about what I am going to get him that he doesn’t really want.

For Mother’s Day he bought me a new iPhone.  He buys me the most awesome gifts,diamonds, jewels, electronics, you name it, I get it.  I seem to hardly ever get it right with him.  You could argue that he has really good taste and it is hard to please him (thus insinuating that I am fabulous), but in reality, I am ridiculously easy to please. 

 A few weeks ago, I bought a really nice electric shaver and put it aside for Father’s Day.  Then about a week ago, he tells me he doesn’t really like electric shavers (you would think that this woud have come up before, in the last nine years), so I just gave it to him and told him to use it or not,whatever.  So I told him to think about a new tattoo and I would pay for it.  That could be his Father’s Day gift.

Now he says he’s not sure if he wants a new tat, he’s “up and down” about it.  Argh, make up your mind!  I can never get him a gift that he likes!  I have given him so many gifts that I can’t even remember what they are because I never see them after he opens them.  I just want to shake him!

I gave him a GPS for Christmas a couple of years ago that he rarely uses.  When I challenged him on it, he said he knows our city really well and doesn’t need it locally, but it has helped when we have vacationed in other cities.  He said that we never would have seen that prison in the Everglades without the GPS.  Ha ha, you are a really funny guy. 

He’s an astronomy buff, so I got him a kick ass telescope that you can program and has a remote control for his last birthday.  Where is it?  In the basement, with the rest of the collective clutter.

I’ve booked snorkeling tours, air boat rides, space centre tours, all the things he loves!  I’ve tried so hard to get him things that I think he will like and he just says “Oh, it’s nice.  Thank you”.  So what do I do?  If I could afford it I would send him into outer space, which his ultimate wet dream, but unfortunately, I don’t have a million dollars or so.  What’s a girl to do?

I’ve got it!  He just has to be happy with what he’s got!  Do you think he would buy that?
