So does anyone else have a spouse like this?

Here's an example -

It was so important to my W to have an arbor off the back of the house for shade I've been building it... the stucture is all up and painted, I just need to put the last layer of 2x2s on top. One day, W walks out there and says "This would be a great area for a screened in porch." Now that's all she talks about, all she wants is a screened-in porch.

Here's the latest thing.

W mentioned that she wanted me to plan some vacations. She's done all the vacation planning in the past, and she wanted me to do some. She wanted a vacation for just the two of us over Thanksgiving. I planned two-night trip to Mendocino, north of SF, did a bunch of research, paid for the hotel and all.

Some point later, W says she'd like to go skiiing instead. And it should only be 1 night because she's worried about her mother being able to handle the boys for too long.

Okay. Cancelled the hotel. Did a bunch more researhed. Booked a nice place in South Lake Tahoe.

Yesterday, W says she wants to go for two nights after all. TOday I'm on the phone to expedia.com to change the reservation I made two days ago.

This isn't a big deal, not really that bothersome (I just say "no" if it's too much trouble - like the screened-in porch) - just a pattern that I'm aware of. Almost funny, really.

You guys remember the story with the paint colors, right?

Just sharing.
