how well do you know your spouse?

If you don't already know, my husband is a huge garage sale junkie. He's always bringing home stuff just because it was a good deal. Honestly, we have more Tupperware cups than I know what to do with, and more sleeping bags and tents than the average person should own (unless preparing for the End of Days).

This past Saturday, Jimmy came home with a gift for me from a garage sale. It's a Snoopy watch, complete with a bright blue watch band. He said he saw it, and just knew I would love it. But here's the creepy thing - I actually owned this watch in middle school. The exact same watch face and band. I loved that watch, and could probably count the number of times I actually took it off. I don't even remember where it came from, but as soon as I saw him holding the watch I had to contain myself. For just a second, I was transported back to the late 1980's when my socks had to match my reversible sweatshirt and I was fighting off the advances of John Tiley (I would later lose that fight).

If I didn't know any better, I'd swear that man can read my mind.
