Sometimes it’s the little things…

So I meet my wife for lunch and a little shopping today during an extended break. She had our two youngest with her, as well as her two nephews. They were surprisingly well behaved, but for some reason I was in a pretty foul mood. Maybe it was the monotony of all the meetings I had just had all morning. Maybe it was the general depression that overwhelms me each and every morning I go to my boring-ass job.

My fellow tall guys out there know that if you are not right there when they bring out the 34 inseams, you might be SOL. Well, unfortunately for me, that 34 inseam also accompanies a 38 waist. The nice little old lady putting the clothes out saw me leafing through about 500 pairs of pants looking for that elusive 38 x 34 size sticker. She then brought me a pair from a different section, saying that she found my size. They were 34 x 34’s. Wow, my day just got better. When I told her I needed 38’s, she refused to believe it. She even went as far as saying that I had a better body than any guy she sees walking around in the store! I looked around praying that my wife heard her say that. She did :-p

OK, bring on the rest of the day. Wait, I just realized something while writing this. Oh God. The Mommy Bloggers are getting to me. Am I now a Daddy Blogger? Do they make Keds for Men?

Oh, and to all the keds-wearing mommy bloggers I offended with yesterday’s post, I give you the following video. Nice try guys. Close, but no cigarette…

    You are so freakin’ bad. If they start a revolution and try to take you down with the blinding whiteness of their shoes and the gleem in their rainbow shooting eyes, you are on your own.

    Hmm. I’m afraid that I’m just a KEDS-wearing, Joan Jett wannabe. Your wife, in all her glorious honesty, is my idol :-)

    Melissa, don’t worry, Mischa Barton wears Keds! And she’s not cool enough to blog about long boobs!

    […] I took The Babe and M3 to Target this afternoon. By the way, he expressed his gripes about the trip on his site. Funny, we write about the same topics but with a different take on the situations. Well damn, I […]

    @ Kendra

    Revolution? What sort of revolution would that be? I wonder what it’s going to look like. :lol:
