I'm Not Cool
Felicia received a bonus check from work, after she quit her full time line. It was an accumulation of all her unbanked vacation days. So, because she's so nice, she said we could go clothes shopping. She felt she needed more dressy clothes for Sunday mornings as the pastor's wife and all.
So, I was pretty excited. An excursion to a suburban shopping mall really gets my heart pumping. After a healthy meal of Arby's roast beef, we ventured on.
And here's the thing.... clothes are really different now. I wanted a sort of casual button up shirt - either white or grey. I thought Gap was my best bet. But, it appeared a small explosion had blown up at the back of the store - there were shirts helter skelter. The overly zealous manager looked for an oxford button down, but came up empty handed. He tried to sell me a pink one - I gripped the stroller a little tighter in an effort to assert my heterosexuality.
All I got at the Gap was a white t-shirt - wow.
Then I went to 4 more stores: Mantique, Guess, Buffalo and H&M and... all the designs are weird. They are all odd graphics and sloppy designs. I am not hip enough for these threads. I need just normal looking sweaters and shirts - not an image of a big bird or something.
Also - I'm thinking of switching to type-pad: any thoughts from other bloggers on making the switch?

Although to be honest you may be able to pull it off...my wife did mention I should try to 'dress a little cooler like Santosh does' when we were at the Banff Conference last year.
Enjoy it for me.
Do you have skype? We should chat sometime.
Actually I don't know much about what's happening at Banff but I want to finish up some education and so I am going to focus my education/conference dollars on academia for the next few years. I know I'll miss it - we may go up for a day or something.
I don't have skype, but maybe should do that.
