Accessories

When I go shopping for a main item...like a skirt or new dress, then it is inevitable that I will also buy at least one item to accessorize it with.  You know, like a scarf or a new necklace...or my trademark, a new bracelet!  Andy often chuckles at me about my need to have the perfect accessory to my outfits.  Well...guys aren't much different.  They too have a need to accessorize.  They just accessorize differently.
 
Our Yukon needed new tires pretty badly.  I was just thinking we were going to get the regulars from Costco...but then Andy let me know that a "big shipment" would be coming fedex in a few days.  I was thinking something dental-related.  I was wrong.  The FedEx guy pulls up and asks me if I'd like to open my garage for my new wheels.  I was a little shocked...but opened the garage and he proceeded to unload 4 new wheels.  Andy explained to me that he found them new on ebay...and they were the same cost as a set of tires so he bought them. 
 
Ya...they're shiny chrome.  I think he's excited.
 
 
 
He also let me know that because he didn't want the chrome wheels to look out of place, he went ahead and bought chrome door handles to match.  (ahem...accessories??)  I mean, what else would go better with chrome wheels than chrome handles?  He and Tay were pretty proud of themselves and they're hot new truck.
 
I let them glory for a while...but then reminded them that it's really my truck anyway.  See?  It even has my initials on it.  (In chrome I might add.)
 
In case you couldn't see my initials clearly enough...here's the closeup.  SLT=Sherrie Lorraine Thuernagle.  Oh ya....

Thanks guys...and by the way, I LOVE the new accessories.
