“I can’t believe he refused to give us the information!” I grumbled.
“Yep. That’s why I swiped the flash drive off his computer on the way out.”
I gaped.
“But if we released it, they’d trace it to us. So I used an unlocked workstation to email it to journalists.”
I kissed my crafty husband.

James was a problem solver. He had a bucket buddy full of tools & magic hands. He whipped up a bench for the mud room with cubbies for shoes and a backpack rack. He created a cat tree where the kids could watch the budgies flirt with their reflection in their cages.
Groaning, coming out of a sound sleep, Mark wanted to deafen the sound of a drill by grabbing Todd's now cool pillow. It was training, he reminded himself for when the adoption was finalized, but until then...
"The perks of having a crafty husband," he moaned, pulling himself out of the bed.

The main perk of having a crafty spouse is that you can keep destroying... I mean using stuff as nail file for your manicure, & they can keep fixing those things… Having a crafty spouse is a fairytale, though, as they also use everything in sight for their manicure w/o ever fixing a thing. #hbp74

The first Monday back after the holidays. Norm and his colleague, Kalla, gave one another ‘the look’ They’d been working together for over five years and had developed various code words, looks, even placing a folder a certain way. Norm slipped his headphones on.

Kalla looked back and saw another colleague, John approaching.
She quickly put her head phones on and turned her attention to her computer screen. She glanced at Norm and they gave each other a slight nod.

Neither wanted to hear another of John’s stories about how his wife “built an entire workroom in three days, using three pallets and wood glue” Not today, John. Not today.
My wife and I were on a luxury cruise, and just returned to our suite to find a stranger on the floor, a large blade protruding from his back.
Security burst in, guns drawn, saying "We had reports of a murder"
"There is no body here" said my wife calmly.
They left.
My wife is a crafty Jedi.

Tonight I finally did it. I put on my armor and began my one man war to take back the streets from the thugs and malcontents, thanks to the perks of having a crafty spouse. Sure I could have used the money to fund social programs but this way, I get to hit people.
I know this isn’t the house we ever wanted. I know this is asking so much of you and your patience, but this is all we can afford, and if you give me four years I will turn this delapidated shithole of a building into a home our grandkids are excited to visit. I can do this for us. We just need time

You're still playing that damn video game? You promised you'd make your special taco casserole tonight."
"I will. Just give me a few more minutes," I told her.
Thirty minutes later. "I got tired of waiting and made it myself."
I smiled. The perks of being a crafty spouse, I thought.

"The water heater, I get. Why an oven?"
"The kitchen's going to look very empty otherwise."
"Cool. More space for my stuff."
"Nope. You have the entire garage. Now go rune-craft us an oven. Make sure you design a timer for it too."
"Well, all right..."
