One Step Too Far

I like to think I'm a supportive wife. I encourage Tim to have fun and do things that make him happy. I've endured the past 17 Sundays where Tim falls into a coma with his laptop in front of him while watching football game after football game after football game. I figure his enjoyment with this is like my efforts with blogging and Facebook.

But then a box came to our home, and inside of it was this trophy. Yes, Tim won in his league at work and what did he decide to do with his winnings? Well, he managed to make a deal with his friend (who was playing in the championship against him) that they would split the money and use a good portion of it to purchase what you see above. According to Tim, "It's pretty sweet" because it has 16 nameplates on the side of it so it will be passed around for the next SIXTEEN years. Tim is so excited to put this in his office (you didn't think I'd let him display it in the house, did you? Notice how it's even sitting on his tool bench before it is transported to work?), he even purchased a little light to shine on it from above while it sits on his shelf.

It's hard to get mad at Tim when he acts like a giddy 10-year-old who just came home after winning the championship game. I think maybe this trophy came just in time to help him heal from the heartbreaking Fiesta Bowl! Until next season!!!!
