"So you know, if you were up for it, would you like to get together for coffee next summer?"

I don't know if it has been blogged before or not, (I haven't seen it), but it is pretty much common knowledge.

"Deciding on what clothes to take on holiday uses up to 52 minutes each time."
This, of course, excludes shoe selection, right?

...and another year telling our men what NOT to wear.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 10, 2009 at 11:02 AM
Pft. That's ridiculous! We only take 9 months deciding.
Posted by: Siouxie | July 10, 2009 at 11:04 AM
*snork* @ Annie. Got that right.

Annie - I have been married for 17 years, and not once has my wife told me not to wear something. This either means she's extremely tolerant, or I'm just extremely lucky when I pick stuff out.

The obvious solution is nudity.

scott, or she enjoys watching your impromptu comedy show.
it doesn't take me long at all to pick out what to wear. it's the finding something that still fits part that racks up the minutes.
Posted by: crossgirl | July 10, 2009 at 11:31 AM
LOL crossgirl, that IS an added problem.
Meanie, no.
Posted by: Siouxie | July 10, 2009 at 11:36 AM
Scott you said your wife has never told you not to wear something. Now I have one question. Who picks out the clothes you buy?
Posted by: nursecindy | July 10, 2009 at 11:59 AM
Ugh, cg. Did ya HAVE to remind us? ><
^5, cindy!! I think you nailed it.
Meanie, yes. :P
Posted by: Diva | July 10, 2009 at 12:14 PM
Cindy: I do, actually. Well, except for anything she buys me for my birthday or Christmas. I have a couple of shirt/tie combos that always draw a few compliments at work, and believe it or not, I picked them out myself. Don't know how I pulled it off, but I did.
Posted by: Scott | July 10, 2009 at 12:19 PM
It just seems longer.
Posted by: Horace LaBadie | July 10, 2009 at 12:23 PM
Scott your wife is lucky that you have good taste.
My ex husband's idea of dressing up was tucking his shirt in.
I wonder how many blog guys have ever told their wives not to wear something because it made them look fat or just didn't look right on them?
Posted by: nursecindy | July 10, 2009 at 12:32 PM
Cindy: Eh, I dress pretty conservatively. Even I would have a hard time screwing that up!
Posted by: Scott | July 10, 2009 at 01:13 PM
Well, few husbands ask their wives "Do these pants make my butt look big?"

No, your butt makes your butt look big.

My daughter just sat me and my guyfriend down to explain jorts to us, and why said jorts are not coming on our vacay to Coz with her. (It wasn't for my benefit. I have no jorts.)
Posted by: baligurl | July 10, 2009 at 02:58 PM
What's amazing is that no government money was spent for this study.
Posted by: CJrun | July 10, 2009 at 03:03 PM
Why is Artic Al looking at Allen's butt?

HAHAHAHAHAHA. The answer is No. It would lead to hours of moaning about weight, body types, etc. etc. etc., and we'd never get to go anywhere.

What the heck are jorts?
Posted by: wingpup | July 10, 2009 at 03:26 PM
wingpup I looked it up.
Jean shorts, occasionally called "jorts", are a garment worn by women or men that covers the pelvic area, the buttocks, and the legs down to about the knee. They are simply shorts made from denim.
This is according to Wilkepedia.
Around these parts we just call them, shorts.
Posted by: nursecindy | July 10, 2009 at 03:35 PM
Here too, cindy. I guess jorts are not to be confused with skorts.
I guess I DO have jorts. Whu nu?
Posted by: Siouxie | July 10, 2009 at 03:57 PM
what's wrong with jorts??
Posted by: crossgirl | July 10, 2009 at 06:14 PM
Nothing wrong with jorts. Plenty wrong with judgemental 18 yr olds getting a free trip to Mexico, tho.
Posted by: baligurl | July 10, 2009 at 06:46 PM
And she was talking about the cut-off kind you see on men in Ok.
Posted by: baligurl | July 10, 2009 at 06:49 PM
Oh I used to LOVE my cut-offs.
Posted by: Siouxie | July 10, 2009 at 07:07 PM
...the rest of their lives they spend looking for their car keys.
Posted by: Clankazoid | July 10, 2009 at 08:05 PM
well the cutoff kind on men in OK makes sense. 'round here those guys usually sport an exotic reptile around their neck. ick.
after some reflection and wardrobe digging, i realize i don't own any jorts that i can actually fit into. i'm all about the pleasted khaki shorts these days!!!
Posted by: crossgirl | July 10, 2009 at 08:36 PM
Scott neglected to mention that his wife is blind.
Do Daisy Dukes count as jorts? If so...guilty.
