Is this really happening? Yes, it is!!

A little background to begin

My girlfriend and I have been together for close to 6 years now. We own a house together, have a joint account together, etc., etc. Pretty much all we are missing is the paperwork for the "M" word. DON'T SAY IT!!!! :-D For the most part, she has supported me through my cigar obsession/compulsion. I have talked to her repeatedly about ventilating my office seperate from the house so that it could be a smoking room. Tha answer has always been a firm "HELL NO, NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS, IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN SO QUIT ASKING!!!!!!" Now I am a pretty stubborn guy. You usually need a chisel to chip away the concrete between my ears before I will start listening if I feel strongly enough about something. This battle I chose not to fight. She owns half the house and I chose to respect her decisions and preferences.

The build-up

In most houses you will find that there is always a living/family room that never gets utilized. It usually has stuffy, nice furniture sitting around collecting dust. Our entry way/living room/formal dining room are that place in our house. We spend most of our time in the living room and oversized breakfast nook.

And the return on investment of your time

Last week while kicking around ideas for the front of our house she suggested we put in 2 oversized leather chairs, stands to display my desktop humi's, a bar, a hightable with 4 chairs and last but not least, put my Avallo humi in as well! She wants a cigar lounge!!! :surprised: It pretty much got set in stone when it was announced at Keith's house last weekend. 2 nights ago we purchased the bar and it appears all is moving forward!!!!!!!

Will post pics as it progresses! Damn she's a good woman!!!!

Don't even think about saying what your are thinking about saying!!!! :-D

Ahhh, she sweetens the pot just a little more.... her "man trap" is almost complete.

I wouldn't be surprised if her and Stacey had this all planned out from the start, probably got the idea from one of those damn Bridal magazines they keep looking at.

Makes me wish I would have held out a couple years before I married mine... :-P

She has just played her Ace :lol2:

I bet she will have an engagement ring on her finger by Christmas.......Game Set and Match.

You have to reward that type of shrewd game play. Make an honest woman of her or you will find that by Christmas 2007 she will have someone else's engagement ring on her finger and you will be living with your Avallo in a one bedroom apartment under the freeway. ;-)

She sounds like quite a woman, a keeper.

I'm also intrigued by the "separate ventillation system" idea, if you do this (or if others have done so) I would be curious about how effective it is in keeping smoke and odors out of the rest of the house, and what it entails.

I don't want to say it but you know what you need to do go ahead get down on your knee and ask away!

My wife always finds ways of making me scratch my head. For instance she orders boxes of Cuban cigars without me knowing about it and when they arrive I can't believe how good she chooses them.. In the past year she has purchased 10 boxes of cigars! I believe my vendors know her better than me. She amazes me everyday with her thoughtfullness.

Another time she ordered four large leather chairs and a couch and had them put in my basement and now it's my smoking room. So if your girlfriend does things like this to you, you got a keeper.

I am also intrested in how you vent the room. I have discussed this with my wife as well. Please keep us posted.

If you've recently tried something new in the old bedroom, keep it up, it's working.;-) If not, she'll probably reap her reward for this offering sometime in the future. Women keep a mental inventory of all these favors and call in the marker at just the right time (for them). The room sounds idyllic. Good luck.
