The One Where We Almost Ended Up With A Spa

Sep 2, 2010

Not too long ago- okay who am I kidding it was 3 years ago- Robby and I almost ended up with a spa. I say almost because there were obviously complications and as a result we ended up having to pass on what he thought was a really great deal¹.

In any event when he and the boys when to go retrieve said spa, they discovered it wasn’t going to be that easy and that we’d have to go shopping for spa covers because one wasn’t included. Why wasn’t it as easy as they thought?

Simple, because a nest of bees had decided to make it their home and after evaluating the situation, they all decided it was probably a better idea to not press their luck- which ironically was a good idea considering Robby is allergic- though we didn’t discover this until later; but that’s another story entirely.

In any event, we came mighty close to owning a spa, though in hindsight it was probably best that we didn’t because it wasn’t a spa that actually worked and money would have had to be put into the unit to fix it up. Robby thinks it’s a bad thing, but I think it was for the best.

1. I say “he thought was a good idea” because let’s face it, most men’s ideas are not.
