drew kept complaing that we were missing the olympic trials, but oh my friends.
let me tell ya.
we just went through the olympic round of guy/girl shopping EXTREME.
things drew hates:
clothes shopping
pictures
picking out wrapping paper
cutting his hair
Bellis Fair Mall
shopping in general
things that the soon-to-be mcdonalds really needed to get done:
engagment picture clothes for drew
groom and groomsmen clothes for the wedding
baby shower gift for his niece
cut his hair for said engagement photos
I thought I had a great idea. kind of like the band-aid approach. Get it all over with at once. Everything that Drew had been complaining that he had to do and errands that he had to run blah blah blah. I had the brilliant idea of "well, while we are doing some of these things, let's just cross them allll off the list." everything drew hates in one evening, instead of like one night a week for the next month.
I thought I was brilliant.
i'll admit. it was a disaster. I was wrong. toooo much at once.
The first dressing room attendent didn't know what to say when I asked if she could bring me a stiff drink. I wasn't kidding.
We had to RUN out of the next store, because we had left the dressing room and men's suit area SUCH a mess.
So girl's sizes are confusing enough. Is it a 2,4,6 scale or a 3,5,7 scale? Petites or longs?
LET ME TELL YOU!
Guy's have TWO numbers?!?!?!?! it's like having to find two things instead of one! I would get soo excited because I would find the right size of his taaaaaalllllll friend Chris, just to realize, oh what?!?! I have to find ANOTHER number two?!? A waist size? Hopeless.
I think the workers could sense we were a bit tense too, and weren't really volunteering their help.
Snippet of a comment I am NOT proud about but it was the heat of the moment:
we had EVERY size of his groosmen except DREW'S and he was trying to tell me he couldn't squish into a little smaller waste size. pshhh. girl's do it all the time :)
Me: Drew. You have eyes too, You can look for your size on this rack just as well as I can.
Drew: Apparently I don't have good eyes.
Me: Clearly not. Those are NOT the same grays.
Drew: Clearly not. I picked you.
it was funny. but still. we really felt that way at the moment.
ehh. well we are here. might as well add a trip to baby GAP. Hahaha. I should have stopped now, but we were just too far in.
Drew doesn't understand why any child under the age of one would ever wear shoes, and he literally almost punched the counter when the cheerful cashier informed him of our miniture baby outfit total :)
Ehh. Now that my manly man is carrying a baby gap bag and some VERY expensive slacks, I decide welllll he still needs new jeans for the photo shoot this weekend.
Off we go.
I am waiting outside the dressing room when he comes out. HOLDING all of the stuff he was supposed to show me.
He exclaims that he didn't just want to leave all his normal clothes sitting in there, so there was no logical way to show me what he was trying on.
GIRLS. HOW DO YOU EVEN ARGUE WITH THAT? I was speechless. SUCH a logical boy perspective but soooo silly.
welp. weren't done. had to get wrapping paper and then round out the Target trip by going to get some outdoor lights for the wedding that were on sale. Drew was so beyond mad at this point, he was almost acting loopy.
I stopped dead in my tracks when I realized there was a problem. They were all out of the CLEAR globes, and only had frosted left. I looked and Drew and was about to say, "WHAT SHOULD WE DO? THEY ONLY HAVE FROSTED!" when he literally gave me the funniest look I have ever seen.
I said, "hi. i am hear holding a newborn outfit that costs more than I have EVER spent on myself, with a roll of pink wrapping papper. I bought a "turquiose v-neck" because you think it will match with the dress you got for our engagement pictures. I just spent 3 hours trying to find like 5 pairs of pants that would look good on 5 different guys and you are really going to ask me if I think we should have clear or frosted bulb lights at our wedding?"
i decided it was not the best time to bring it up :)
quick little stop at the mcdonalds food court and we were on our way.
and i didn't even tell him that he left his coke on the top of the car when we drove away :)
he deserved it :)
fine. i SO didnt want to tell him, but I wussed out and at the last second said, "WAIT YOUR POP IS THE ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
sometimes the all-or nothing approach is NOT good. like in this case.
PLUS. i just realized he didn't get a hair-cut and we didn't pick out his wedding ring like the original plan.
i foresee another fun night in the future. hopefully with a stiff drink :)
