Can you tell this is going to be good?
The other day my husband and I went out on a date (dinner + movie)
As we were waiting for our food, I was just sort of updating him on all of the things I have going on.
I was telling him since I do hair, photography, blog and have the shop I don't really know if I have a title.
My mom just says I'm an entrepreneur, I call myself and artist..
I asked Brandon what he thought about it and his response
"its cool you make money being a hobbyist"
......
um.
what?
A hobbyist..?
......
I don't know why I felt so offended, but the fact that I could completely support the both of us
if anything were to happen to his job.. well I think that makes me more then a hobbyist right?
My point is.. boys are stupid. (that's all) =)
I don't know if you watch The Office but, it reminds me of the episode where Pam tries to prank Jim by using his brothers but, they end up saying something offensive about her art being just a hobby.
ReplyDeleteMen. ;)
LOL! This is totally something MY husband would say..MEN. My husband told me on Mothers Day..that "My hair looked crispy and dead." WOW..ha!
ReplyDeleteXO Lindsay @ Delighted Momma
men! seriously? my gosh. I def think you are more than a hobbyist. :) you're amazing!
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with ya!
ReplyDeleteI work full time, raise two boys, do photography, have a small book store in here town, and do some artwork.
And like you....I am more than a hobbyist!
I would've been offended too. You're doing hard work!! Not that hobbies aren't hard or work but hobbyist kind of sounds like what you're doing isn't serious.
ReplyDeleteNo joke - my husband told his co-worker I make money as a "hobbyist" too. And he came home all proud, and said "I was bragging about you today. Told the guys you make all sorts of money as a hobbyist."
ReplyDeleteEww! Boys don't get it!
yeah, boys are stupid..
ReplyDeleteoh goodness! i am sorry he said that! sometimes our sweeties just don't get it.
ReplyDeletechin up girl. you are INCREDIBLE! :)
This post really made me smile! Boys are usually so stupid and naive, most of the times they don't really think of what they're saying. You could answer back with this quote:
ReplyDelete"Find something to do that you really love and you won't have to work a single day in your life." :-)
Nope you are definitely not a hobbyist, you are a role model/powerhouse! I would love to be able to create beautiful things and enjoy what I do everyday, with the huge plus that people pay you to do it. Best career everr.
ReplyDeleteI would vote for entrepeneur most definitely!! Hobbyist?! I don't think so!
ReplyDeleteAGREED! LOL
ReplyDeleteand you should totally be offended!
You sound more like a trailblazer than a hobbyist. Boys are silly, they can't help it!
ReplyDeleteBest,

Totally studpid! I like entrepreneur, or superwoman. Either one. :)
ReplyDeleteboys are SO STUPID!
ReplyDeleteENTREPRENEUR is absolutely what you are!

ReplyDeleteI totally wish this was like FB so I could like your very last sentance!
ReplyDeleteThey just dont get it!
ReplyDeleteOhmygosh I'll bet he's regretting that one! You are an artist with good business sense (the rarest of creatures)! Hobby schmobby...
ReplyDeletefor.reals. haha! moral of the story: boys are stupid. love it. PS: i also love that everything in your shop is so gone with the wind-y. it's one of my favorite books ever. and your stuff is GORGEOUS so it's just one big pile of perfection!
ReplyDeleteYOURS, MINE AND OURS
Pfft men are idiots .... the other day as I was doing him a favor and typing up an estimate because he is computer illiterate mine said something to the effect of " Gee if this goes well you could be doing this all the time!" ....
ReplyDeleteO-o ......as if I wasn't already stopping something I was doing to help him but wouldn't I be lucky to help him all the time. I almost picked up the computer and smacked him with it.If I dide tomorrow he wouldn't be able to find his own underwear nevermind figure out the bills!
bahahahah i LOVE this post.
ReplyDeletethis is stinkin funny.

lol my husband is the same way so i don't bother telling him much of anything 'cause he doesn't really care anyway.
ReplyDeletei would say you're an artist :) you should smack him for calling you a hobbyist :P
I think the answer was cool. I am pretty sure he knows you love what you do and he's proud of you doing what you love and still making money! :) Who cares what anyone calls it! :D
ReplyDeleteDefinitely more than a hobbyist, I'd say! Love your blog...stopping by from FTLOB.
ReplyDeletelol - that *totally* sounds like something my mister husband would say - goodness. I think it's hard for people who don't do this crafty life themselves to really understand all the serious hard work that goes into it - ya know? (sigh). Boys.
ReplyDeleteHAHA. Yep, that pretty much sums it up over here as well. ;)
