Oh my, this sounds exactly like my sis-in-law! My brother & his wife are both retired Marines, and she is a tiny little thing that was nearly outweighed by her duffle & rifle. But man, oh man, do *NOT* cross that girl! She will put you down!
I adore my husband, because he fully supports what I do. In fact, if it weren't for his encouragement, I wouldn't have my short-arm & frame set up.
He gives me inspirations for quilts (more than I have time to make), he goes shopping with me (the only kind of browsing he seems to enjoy, somehow), he has a *fantastic* eye for color & design. In fact, when I do take him to the quilt shop, I usually end up spending 2 or 3 times as much as I had originally intended!
Plus, he's a *fabulous* cook. I guess I'm one of the lucky ladies. :) And no, I don't share ;-)
