Geeky

Anyone who knows my husband will know he is pretty geeky.  He has personally automated all of our homes.  We have owned a robot lawn mower.  We own a robot vacuum.  At present, he is building an R2D2 unit in the garage.

This geekdom bleeds beyond robots. He will spend all the money in his checking account and 1000 man hours trying to get out of actually having to manually do something.  Shopping, for example.  He was probably Amazon’s first customer and  remains their best.  He was Amazon before it was cool. 

When we were a young couple I asked him to be in charge of our Friday night meal.  Every Friday night for 12 years we have had pizza.  When I became a mom, he wasn’t around a lot.  I asked him to help around the house because baby, job, home, and whacked out hormones is a lot.  He hired Merry Maids.
Recently he has reached a level even I am having difficulty with.  This is hard-for-me-to-admit-to-the-world difficult.  Here goes......we have a toilet paper button.  Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there is an actual button in my toilet paper drawer designed to allow me toilet paper on demand.  Or in 2-3 business days.  It is an actual button connected to my husbands Amazon account.  When I push it, the little button lights up.  It then sends an email to my husband to advise him I have ordered toilet paper and it is on its way.  Let me type that again.  I have a button that allows me to buy toilet paper.  From.  The.  Toilet.

He is super stoked about his button.  I am super stoked it’s connected to his Amazon account not mine.  (The above two sentences pretty much sum up our marriage.)  I asked him if there was a jewelry button.  I want that button.  How about a fairy button?  He said no, but offered up a button for laundry soap.  Hey....as long as it’s linked to HIS Amazon account, why not?  Buttons for everything!
