There is a very good reason…
I don’t have full length mirrors at my house.
Just got back from shopping for jeans. Oh. My. God. Now I remember why I haven’t done this for like 15 years. I’ve been wearing Lands End jeans (when I had them) because I didn’t have to suffer the humiliation of a 6 foot 103 pound Czechoslovakian sales woman looking at my arse and saying “dey are supposed to be tight because dey have Lycra. vould you like a bigger size?”
Anyway. Because I bought them at Nordstroms (and paid enough for two pair of boxy comfy LE jeans) they’ll at least shorten them for free. Even the petite size had to be turned under a bit…even to accomodate The Boots.
Problem is, they won’t be done until the 21st! So now I have to figure out what to wear for tomorrow. hmmm. Needs to be casual, yet sexy, but not too sexy (it is morning after all) and I have to feel good in it. Even if it looks like Eddie Bauer barfed all over me, if I feel good in it, it works. I can carry it off as being “my style” or something.
Oh. And he won’t be riding his motorcycle because it’s going to be 40 degrees with gusty winds again. So no possiblity of weedling a ride down by the river. Ah well. The thought of an impromteau ride has been…entertaining, shall we say, over the last few days.
He says he will be wearing a kilt, however. We shall see.
A kilt at least shows some interesting thought processes. I may not like or agree with them. Or I might. On the one hand, there’s something abstractly intriguing about a kilt and the man who wears one in this country on an effing cold morning. On the other hand, does it indicate too much manhood? Not enough?
See what I mean? Intriguing.
At least intriguing enough for coffee and a bearclaw.

I have completely blown off “Project #2″ this week. The guilty part of me says “stay up and work on it.” The self-care part of me says “go to bed and get a good night’s rest and work on it after coffee tomorrow.”
I think I opt for sleep. g’night all!

What interests me is what will be under the kilt. Is he a freeballer, or will he have on some sort of protective gear – underwear? If he wears the kilt, you simply must find out for all of us. You must. How humurous. That guy has some balls for wearing a kilt in 40 degree weather. Actually, in any weather.
