In three weeks the Peacock Clan (Atlanta Division) will be traipsing off to Spokane, Washington to attend my Lil' Bro's wedding. We've (by "we" I mean "Lovely Wife") been preparing for the festivities, including buying clothes to wear for the ceremony. Well, no clothes for me as I've got my Fabulous Interview Suit(tm) but outfits for the three boys and Lovely Wife. This shopping was completed just this past weekend.
Yesterday my Lovely Wife IM'd me that she was thinking of bringing back her skirt and shoes. She's got an old skirt and old shoes that could still be serviceable and she really, really wanted to pick up Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events on it's Tuesday release.
Let me rephrase that: I am married to a woman who would rather have a Jim Carrey movie than a new skirt and shoes.
So I ask you again: Am I the luckiest guy in the world, or what?
Postscript: I surprised her with the movie last night for a birthday present so don't y'all worry about her taking those shoes back.
You're defiantly one lucky rascal.
My wife would sell one of my kidneys for a new outfit. Given the choice between the two above, she’d take both.
I just don't see the use for nice clothes and all that fuss.I am home all day,so what do I need?A nasty old shirt and some shorts (actually we usually wear jammies all day).When I go out?Sneakers and jeans always work.
So I chose entertainment which lasts longer than that stupid new outfit I will wear EXACTLY ONCE for a darn wedding......grrrrr.......what a WASTE of money!LOL
But given the choice to sell the kids.....that actually sounds sort of tempting.If I don;t have kids I would actually be able to stay clean in that new outfit...hmmmmmmmm
You are a very lucky man, I am not detracting from that... however, my hubster is married to a woman that would rather spend money on a new computer game for him than clothes for herself. Let's be honest here - I hate shopping for clothes because it is far too depressing. A good First person shooter can cheer me up for many a day. ;)
Jim...i kinda think MY husband would agree that you are, indeed, quite the lucky man. Not only would i buy the skirt, the shoes, matching purse and coordinating lipstick, I would buy the movie as well. *siiigh* I suck. (but I look quite fetching doing it!) ;-)
That is wonderful. Your mutual bliss is obvious.
I once used funds set aside for a new outfit to get the GM1 a subscription to Maxim. I think I pretty much ensured my tenure with that one.
Oh, and I promised him if I ever meet Angelina Jolie he can have seconds.
