Pretty!

Hubby and I have been "discussing" my next bike for about a year now.

Him : You're going to get Campy, aren't you?

Me: I dunno. Prolly.

Him: You're not going to get a pink bike are you?

Me: I dunno. Prolly not.

Him: Are you going to get a compact double or a triple?

Me: I dunno.

All translated to mean that he's been thinking about my next bike more than I have (or at least more about the detail). I'd never buy one without him first blessing the color, at least. He's been pushing me to get a new bike and I'm almost there...maybe by summer.

That being said, he makes big (not huge, just "big") purchases all the time without consulting me (on the order of your bike). But it (usually) comes out of his account. If it's something that we will both use, or something special (like a celebratory purchase of some kind), then I'll usually contribute. I figure there are many other more dangerous habits than fishing that he could be spending his money on.
