The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for December 22, 2013

The last is suicidal…..

Can we watch WNBA on ESPN while feeding the baby with passion fruit?

passion fruit sorbet is good, though…

at least no man has said the last one and lived to tell about it.

“Of COURSE I’d love to go shopping at the mall with you!”

I did say the last one a year ago……….I’m posting this comment from my hospital bed!

Fred said “Doesn’t matter what you wear Honey. Face it, you’ve got a…”Fred was never heard from again.

How about “Gosh, Honey, I guess I was wrong. Tell me again…. where was I supposed to have turned left?”

I’m sorry.

Ahh, the sound of a tinkling piano; the Lifetime movie is about over and I can return to the room.

The last one something no man has ever said out loud.

I’d like a lime slice with my beer..

My husband did volunteer to change diapers

I was the primary diaper changer for our three kids because of a less sensitive sense of smell than my wife. While not Lifetime, I do volunteer to watch “Love It or Leave It” or “House Hunters”. And yes, I will stop to ask directions. I had a job once where it took between 9-12 hours to reach the work sites. After that much time on the road, if you get turned around in the town, you stop and ask if only to get out of the car sooner. (pre-GPS!!) And if you think you made a wrong turn you turn around right away. Several woman clients have referred this is very unusual.

“Shoe shopping with you at the mall two days before Christmas? I’d LOVE to!”

I’ve volunteered for diaper duty plenty of times.

“No, honey, your butt makes the pants look big.”

My husband loves my big butt – in fact he has said he wished it looked bigger. The first time he told me I had a big butt I felt insulted. He taught me to love my body, and that you don’t have to be skinny to be beautiful.

You beat me to that one! I mean LOOK at that tush!

no living man, at least

Any woman that freaks out over an honest answer should stop asking the question. I’m comfortable enough with my body that when a guy tells me something isn’t flattering, I take it as a comment on the garment, not on me. So for you guys that get in trouble for answering yes, let me apologize for my gender.
