Hello all. Winter is upon us, unofficially. 6 inches of snow and temps in the teens and 20s. Brrrr! Wal-Mart and local radio station are already in Christmas mode, even before we eat our turkey dinner. How Sad.
Anyway, I recently realized that numerous people are benefitting from my "hobby" or "thing" as my wife sometimes calls it. Seems that her sister will be attending a wedding in the next few weeks, and recently bought a spring type dress. While she is not the best looking person in the bunch, a spring dress for a autumn/early winter wedding just is not working for her. So my wife went through my closet, with my permission, and provided her a few of my dresses that I have not worn in a while, or in some cases, not at all (they still had the tags on them). One of the dresses was a good fit and more appropriate. Also turns out that her other sister liked another one of the dresses and offered to buy it from her. They have no idea the true source of the dresses. I don't recall what my wife said to her sisters, but it is irrelevant anyway. I know she did not indicate that they came from me. I found this rather humorous. After my wife told me of this, I was reminded of another incident in which my wife was the beneficiary of my "hobby". We went to my 30th HS reunion in dude mode. Turns out my wife needed to borrow one of my bras because the underwire on hers broke. Mine are a bit larger, but she made it work. So many people are benefitting from my "thing". Isn't that something.
I have also noticed my wife has been gradually going out with me a little more often. Not too much, but just a little more often. We recently went to Warren and stopped at Gabe's. I was looking for a new pair of boots, and decided to snap a few mirror pics. Decided to go for a brown look. Brown blouse with brown skirt. Brown leggings with brown boots with a 3" heel. Even the makeup is more subdued, with a light brown eyeshadow and mauve lipstick. Recently got one of the Mehlon orange beard concealer sticks, and tried this. That is really orange, but I think it did a good job.
I don't know if this is related or not, but my wife the other day, woke from her sleep saying she had a dream about her outfit. I thought this was funny, but could my hobby be affecting her subconsciously? Might be a bit of a stretch.
