And, in today’s installment of totally arbitrary and mundane gifts I buy for my husband: a dish drain! 

Why a dish drain? Well, I really, really hate dish drains. I think they’re gross and ugly. We have a dishwasher in this house, so it was my excuse to get rid of our dish drain. However, with all the cooking I’ve been doing lately, sometimes on busy weeks I can’t keep up with the dishes. Eric is a big fan of washing dishes by hand and would always offer to help with the dishes…but since we didn’t have a dish drain to dry them in, oh well. 

Sometimes we have to make compromises, even if they’re ugly and we hate them, in order for our significant others to do what they want: the dishes. 

Well, honey: soap up! Have fun washing dishes :) 

(he’s going to be so excited about this…probably even more excited than the garbage can.)
