As I mentioned yesterday, Trey and I attended a wedding last weekend. A wedding. A dressy occasion. Before I continue, I must tell you that I don't ask for much. I ask to be fed and loved. That is all really. Never wanting. Pretty low-maintenance on nearly all scales.
Well, the Saturday morn of the wedding I was in great need of shoes. Just SOMETHING to cover my poor little feet. Again, I don't ask for much. If corn cloth was available, I would have made my own.
So I asked my lovely husband if it would be ok if I go to PAYLESS (not Fetish, a super cute shoe store here...PAYLESS. work with me, people) and see if they have some shoes to match my dress that I plan on wearing to the wedding.
Now I must interupt the story here to say that I do not have to have permission from Trey to buy items, it just so happens that March has been a, ummmm, tight month with our daughter's high medical bills and all. So, I thought it was polite to ask his opinion of the matter first.
role play:
Princess Wife: "Honey, I know you provide for this family, and I need not a thing, however, if you will it possible, could I splurdge on a $10, possibly $15, pair of shoes from our local Payless shoe store?"
Husband: "Heather. You have 100 pairs of shoes. Wear flip-flops to the wedding. It is hot. besides you do not need them. We are on a need only basis right now"
Husband: "Heather. You have 100 pairs of shoes. Wear flip-flops to the wedding. It is hot. besides you do not need them. We are on a need only basis right now"
Princess Wife: "Ok, sweetie. I understand. How foolish of me to think that I needed shoes"
Fast-forward to Monday night:
Husband: "I am going to Sears."
PW (Princess Wife): "For what?"
Husband: "I am going to buy a lawn mower."
Husband: "I am going to buy a lawn mower."
PW: "Oh, but, honey. Can't it wait until next month, afterall, my $10 shoes was out of the quesion."
Husband: "The lawn mower is not for me. It's for Sophie."
No really, true story. I took pictures, much to Trey's dissaproval, for this purpose.
A lawn mower was bought, according to Trey, so that snakes don't bite Sophie while she is poo-pooing outside.
A dog won over me???? We'll see about that.
I am going to Fetish on April 1.

DISCLAIMER: Some parts of the story were, in fact, exagerated to better suite my side of the story, but all major plots in the tale are very much alive and true.

me and my friend Lessye are bowled over laughing at how funny this is.
I have a plastic bin full of shoes but none that I like... I can sympathize.
your life is full of tragedy.
in just a few short months, your chi has blown up, causing a complete disaster AND you are shoe deprived.
i admire you for "trucking on" the way you have.
you are so strong.
I didn't mean to delete my last comment. I am just not good at this thing. I think you claiming to be low maintenance is the funniest thing of the story. The best is when you get pregnant and your husband doesn't think you need to buy any new clothes. I think it is a logical argument, but I never seem to win. Can't wait to see you this weekend!
This is hilarious!! And I can see my husband acting the same way! Although, the other day when I said I didn't have anything to wear he told me then I needed to go shopping for a new wardrobe since none of those clothes in the closet will do. I am not sure he thought about this comment before he said it, but I will be glad to go out and purchase all new clothes at his suggetion! Nevermind, he wouldn't let me run in the shoe store on the way out of town the other morning!
HA! i completely understand what you just went through. it baffles me that my dogs win over me on a daily basis. what is this world coming to?
ha, this his hilarious! and you better treat yourself april 1!
Do you completely rehaul the blog?
