golf balls.
you guys. let's talk about Mister Man for a minute. you should know that my husband is a very good golfer. like, i have a handicap of 36, which means if we play 18 holes, he has to give me 2 strokes per hole, and he still beats me all the time. i have only beat him once actually. it was in kapalua, and it was awesome. but i digress.

part of being a good golfer is always trying to improve what you're doing, so Mister Man will try out different brands of less-expensive golf balls every so often to see how they work with his game. and every.single.time he buys a huge pack of them on sale at golf galaxy or dick's sporting goods and then decides that he doesn't like them, because the nice golf balls are still the best. of course. so what does he do with the boxes full of leftover golf balls?he gives them to me, his loving wife. he gives them to a person who could not care one bit less about the type of golf balls she uses. a person who still does not understand, despite the many explanations given to her on the subject, how golf balls can possibly be different from one another. and to make this even better, he presents them to me as if he is bestowing me with the most beautiful gift in the history of gifts. like the box of reject golf balls in his hand is actually filled with a gorgeous pair of frye boots. or gap camo pants. or a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
better than pinnacle golf balls.
but he's a darling man, and he's really just trying to do something sweet for me. (or trying to make me think he's doing something sweet for me.) the other day we were putting something into the trunk of my car and he looked down at the untouched box of pinnacle golf balls and said, "oh look, your awesome pinnacles!" i said, "yea, and i think i'll actually try to use them this year since you pawned them off on me." "i didn't pawn them off on you! i wanted you to have some nice new balls for your golf league this summer...", he responded."i wish i believed you Mister Man." "yea, me too!"
