When I'm not vitally interested in some project, and now it is quilting, then I have enough time on my hands to start asking ( usually referred to as nagging) my husband about the repairs he promised to do but didn't. If I have a LOT of time on my hands then I sometimes call some professional to come do the repair which really ticks dh off. I always say"You had so long to do it, you forgot about it." and then he says, "Can't you find a hobby or something to keep you busy?" When we're watching sports and I don't want to, i find it necessary to ask him to explain so many things about the game, or I argue with him about the umpires call that he says, "Can't you find something else to do?" Except for the Superbowl - that's sacred and I am respectful as every football widow is expected to be.
Things could be a lot worse. My SIL has his tv rigged so he can see 4 different games on the same screen at the same time! He had to get a 60 inch to do it - someday he'll just have a whole wall for football season.
