Random Thoughts IV

[00clone]

I don't know, I was leaning toward she would rather have you spend money on the kids than her, and then found out she knew you took a picture of her behind in her yoga pants. Now, I wonder if coupled with buying something as intimate as undergarments, she is feeling a little creeped out or objectified by it all.

I guess 30 years of marriage have taught me that if you think you upset your spouse, talk about it.

I plan on it, it just hit at a bad time because now I can't talk to her until at least midnight, maybe tomorrow or the weekend. She was fine with the pic, that was months ago. She's also not creeped out by me buying her skivvies, for pete's sake, we are married. Heck, most of the time with the VS coupons, she has me go get them on my way to work, it's a lot more convenient for me to than her, I just know what she'll want.

Seriously...how the heck do I get in trouble for buying my wife things?!?!?!

She had 2 pair of yoga pants (that I bought her), one black and one grey. She said she liked them, and wears them more than once in a while (but not all the time). Somehow, the black pair went missing (WDSM...I'm looking at you, bub), and she said it would be nice to have a black pair, since she can't wear the grey ones with everything.

So this week, that fabletics was having a clearance sale, with leggings going for $15-$20, but since she's the perfect frame for yoga pants (at least in my mind), the selection is limited to the weird colors or wild patterns, and mrs. 00clone is more of the quiet, reserved type...so nothing looked good to her.

Just out of the blue this morning, I happen to wonder if maybe VS has them on sale, that's where the other ones are from and she thinks they're comfy. So yes, they are. I find some and buy them..again, $15-20. Then, I get an e-mail from fabletics that they added accessories to their clearance sale, and I look. These seamless skivvies are on sale, a 3 pack for $10, and she wears them a lot, and has mentioned how they're comfortable. So, I get some of those.

She also hates shopping for herself (partial cheapskate, partial body image issues), so I think I'm doing a nice thing here, but apparently not...she got all quiet after I told her I got them...

Uggh.

Well at least you didn't say the ladies of CF think these are the bomb again. (hopefully) Other than that yeah I'm not sure why she's mad. It could be a strong suggestion from her that she wants to pick her own stuff out.

Potter marathon on ABC Family this weekend, save for...I think...Goblet of Fire.

There's a constant drone of planes flying over

That's why I'm here. But he's not watching my sister's game though...

Tell him to watch her play, or has she already crossed ISU off her list?

The issue is?

The issue is?

Well, flight path to MSP is not as cool as vintage planes buzzing around. Piston drone > screaming commercial airliner

This is true. Especially when it is the same type of plane over and over and over again.

Commercial flying just can't touch General aviation.

[carvers4math]

President of AIB Iowa City? No he said respected.

 

[Rabbuk]

Kind of a hybrid position of planning enrichment activities for kids who don't get exposed to educational opportunities that people from more affluent areas are, working with families to help alleviate educational/economic barriers, and training volunteers and Americorps members to help tutor/run enrichment activities. Also thanks for the love yall.

It's in Cedar Rapids, I have a brother who I need to be close to in Cedar Rapids for a lot of reasons.

Sounds like he has a good brother. That's great that you found a rewarding job where you can live where you need to be. I hope it works out well for you.

Such important work. Our district has one of the highest rates of kids on free or reduced student lunches in the state.

It's a two way street, we keep each other's noses clean.

Yes, baring some kind of miracle scholarship

Never said it was an issue, just never seen the sky so busy
