I'm "OUT"
Went shopping with wife today.
The day started out like this: Part of a quote by me earlier this afternoon, "... Look both of your sisters are snots and for some reason have nothing to do with you. You need a sister, I can be that for you, lets go shopping. " Miracle of miracles she smiled and said, "O.K." so we went. It cost me dinner at Carrabbas, http://www.carrabbas.com/ (well worth the cost, the food is good. ) A new artifical Christmas tree, a new crock pot, and two pair of pants at Avenue. BUT.....drum roll, if you please....I was able to buy these:

in size 11W . Sat right there on the bench and tried them on with her sitting next to me. Of course she saw my stockings but said nothing. Walked around a bit to get the feel of them and decided to keep them on. Very comfortable and cozy for the cooler weather. While putting them on I spotted a cute pair with 3" heels and said that I'd really like them but I knew they wouldn't "work" so I'd pass up on them. No negative comment from her.
When i stood up I pulled my trouser legs down over them and for all the world they looked just like any other tan shoe. She agreed that they didn't look bad or too "girly"
My only comment back to her was, "Just allow me to demonstrate some common sense" I just don't want, at this point, to upset her and go too far overboard. As everybody here says "slow and carefully"
So,....I've had my first taste of "shopping with wife" It was fun actually. Also a bit expensive, but I'll do what I have to. I'm not above bribing her with other things to be able to get what I want. ;)
