What not to wear
Elise is on a business trip, so I’m playing Mr. Mom. Oh wait, that’s already my job. She’s been gone 12 hours, and the house is already in a state of shock and awe. Not loud to begin with, my “put that away after you’re finished with it” inner voice has completely shut off.
Zach had a dentist appointment, so I picked him up early from school. The office lady gave me a funny look. So did a parent. I come off as a snob, so I’m used to people giving me a “oh you think you’re better than us” look. But that wasn’t the look. It was more of a “now WHAT kind of white trash do we got here?” look. Whatever. But then… At some point I happened to look down. Lord have mercy. I kept my jacket zipped real high at the dentist. See for yourself:

Not a good look |
I hate when I’m wearing something bummy and comfortable that *feels* like it looks fine, and then I get home and think “oh my God…did I go out wearing this?”
Btw,what does your wife do?If you don’t mind my asking.Whatever it is, it sounds like its a pretty sweet setup.

I have no idea what she does. She sits in her office (the sunroom) and yells at people on the phone while IMing people, while rewriting some computer code, while doing a suduko. Whatever it is, it pays well.

Classic! I hate when that happens and I end up going out looking like I slept in my car the night before, but I feel comfy and think I look ok. I’ll be doing another “not a good look” post in the near future, I may have to add that pic! *kidding*

Hi there. Just popped over from my Xanga site where I found your footprints; and you’re right, it was worth the click. Love the look, I’m thinking I may look like something the cat dragged in myself here in a bit since I just got back from my own business trip less than 12 hours ago. Sigh. How do you like the Mr. Mom thing? My husband doesn’t travel like I do; but he’s definitely not Mr. Mom either. I think he could do physical harm to some of the suburbanite Stepford wives around here. Could be fun to watch, though.

hey neill, is your wife of the monied class? is that how you get to stay home all the time and dress in sweatsuits?
does she have a rich sister or rich friends that are interested in a younger male (myself) to stay at home all day while she wins the bread, so-to-speak?
