This is so cute and I love the way you're teasing him.  The table sounds great!

But, because of the uhhh....slight mishaps shall we say?....Mark doesn't yet know these things. When I tell him that I do, he gives me this look like he wants to believe me, he really, really does, and he knows that I *think* I know what I'm talking about, but, well, evidence would suggest otherwise. <g>

I reassured him that it was for a craft project. Why he believes that to be safely benign, I dunno. ;-) [I think he'll really like the new mosaic top to his treasure chest.]

I think it was his way of pleading the 5th. <g> But he musta thought about it and decided that with my propensity for improvising, that it might be safer and better to just tell me so that I can complete my mission more efficiently. <g> So a few minutes later another msg followed with info on where they are located. Which I actually coulda found on my own. But, I am having entirely too much fun texting him now & then with creative questions.

I tried to s'plain to him that it took me years to learn how to let some things be messy, because in my OCD world, neatness was a mandatory priority. So it's really a healthy sign that I can feel comfy enough to let a drawer or closet be messy. He doesn't quite grok that, yet. :-)
