What is it with men and weird seemingly useless projects?
My hobbies are gardening and cooking. Their useful and productive and money saving and good partners of each other and educational.
Men on the other hand choose shortlived hobbies or projects which cannot be described by any of those things..
I kid you not, I was in our local hardware store with my husband when we just just married, whining at WHY he needed a drill and other tools.My feelings at the time and always had been up til that point was for fix it issues Id call a professional. My husband is an IT nerd NOT a carpenter/welder mr fix it type like his father and brother. I was loudly whining, when I very clearly heard the Holy Spirit tell me to shut up (in a nice but strong way as possible) and let him buy his tools and let him be the man he wanted to be for me which I realised is actually very biblical, even if he is practicing by starting up weird projects and getting excited over scrap metal and smoking wood chips and the chance to go to the hardware store every weekend.
I get through it, by getting excited as well whenever we go to the hardware store cos it means I get to spend eons of time in the gardening section. If hes gonna buy tools Im gonna get plants!!!
