Help........What to tell the Wife?!?

[grateful1]

Where to start....

First thanks for the suggestions and laughs. I got a chilly phone call during my layover in NY while traveling home. Several of the boxes were from vendors so the SS excuse and box split excuse only went so far.....and yet more questions and comments this morning.

Suggestion to vendors......Provide an option to ship WITHOUT an invoice. After she opened the first box and saw the invoice, she said "I probably dont want to open the others do i".

I actaully had an out, but couldnt do it. I called home after my meeting and my daughter (who is 12) was home before my wife. She promptly told me I had four packages that came. I told her to put them in my office and not to ask any questions during the holidays. I could have had her hide them under my desk, but I couldnt implicate her in the mess I had put myself in.

End result, I fessed up to everything I ordered but not the total of what I spent (thank god for the work AMEX card).

It will cost me in the end, but all will be fine, as Juan said, been there, done that....still married.

Happy Holidays Everyone

It's a Wonderful Life!

Glad it worked out in the end. You'll need to buy something shiny to make up, but its worth it

I must agree with CBoukal. Buy her something nice and tell it is for her being so understanding about your hobby,
Yes, a little a$$ kissing goes a long way in a successful marriage

Hiding stuff from the wife always backfires... trust me on this.

Man up, tell her the truth and go from there.

This!

I gotta tell you........This is where I have it good. I am divorced and re-married. My wife and I have a great financial plan. I pay my share, she pays hers. What ever I have left is mine, and the same for her. No Questions. I, am a lucky man!

Tell her they're presents for her, then go out and buy a crapload of stuff! :laugh:

You took the words right out of my mouth Jon!...but then again, we're both divorced!

On second thought, don't listen to us :whistling:
