It was a quiet day today. After work, I went home and picked the W and kids up for an evening shopping at the mall. I was excited because my W found out that one of the big department stores was having a 75% off sale and I need new clothes badly. Also, a lot of what was on sale was winter stuff that I'll need in Ireland. SO, we go to the mall, get tons of stuff for me and only a jacket for my W. It was really weird. I NEVER buy clothes and it was really nice to get some cool new duds. After shopping for me, the boys and I ate while W went shopping for a little bit more. After that I took the boys to the car to wait for W to finish and the only real drama of the night began, and trust me, this is a reach. When I loaded my stuff in the trunk (her car) I saw a stack of DVD's. They looked like some that I got for Christmas and some we have owned for awhile, but of the 6-7 that were there, only one was anything my W would ever choose to watch. When she called me to come pick her up I asked her if they were our DVD's and she said yes. That was all. When we got home she wend into this really awkward explanation (I didn't even ask) about how she put them in her car because she thought she may watch one if she got bored and didn't want to go home after the gym one day but then realized that the portable DVD player was not in the car....um....wow. They can't help themselves, can they? I mean come on, I didn't ask what was up with them because it was obvious it was for date night (and please, if you saw the selection of movies, you would not even come close to suggesting I am wrong about this one). Don't ask, don't get a really forced, bad lie. So, I blew it off. No point in dwelling on something so silly. Funny that she would lie about it but hey, to each their own. All in all, it was a good night. I modeled the clothes, and got lots of compliments. Oh, and she also said she never thought she'd see the day I was so excited to shop for, and buy clothes. I told her I always liked to do it but my taste was a little expensive so I didn't bother. Of course I added that since I look so good now and feel even better, I wanted to get some clothes to reflect that. She commented "Shame it took so long." It wasn't too venomous but she got the point across. I didn't reply. I just let it slide. I was feeling too good. So I am all geared up for Ireland and I can't wait to go. I just hope this little DB dance I am doing can hold up that long. There is still the frustration of the OM still being around (as I walked up to her in the store after taking S3 to the bathroom she was on the phone and quickly got off when she saw me) and I need to keep that in check. So, like I said, a rather uneventful night, which these days is good. I hope you all are doing ok and I will catch up with you tomorrow.
