 Posted: 11/01/04 - 13:07 Post subject: After 11 Years of marriage
it came to my attention that my lovely bride loves shoes.
We went away to beautiful Lancaster County, PA, this weekend for our anniversary and decided to spend part of the day Saturday at the outlets. Spend being the key word 
We went into the Naturalizer outlet, and following proper male shopping rules I found a place to sit down, and observe the be seen not heard rule.
For the next 30 minutes, all you could hear in the store was:
Oh, I like these
Oh, I like these
Oh, I like these
Oh, I like these
Oh, I like these
Oh, I like these
Oh, I like these
She bought three pair of really nice shoes (the store record is 23 pairs  )
It was then she told me that she really loves shoes, and could spend a lot of money in this store.
For my good behavior, I was allotted 10 minutes in the Black and Decker store.
How this never came up during the courting process, I do not know.

She went easy on you. 3 pairs is a visit to the shore store, not a shopping expedition.

For some reason she wouldn't get the 6" stillletos in white, (something about not being able to wear them to work) in my defense I told her that her uniform require's her to wear white shoes

Nothing, but apparently I looked like this  when I saw the 18 volt combo drill, saw, and sander
I did get a couple shirts and a pair of pants at the Izod outlet (in and out in 5 minutes)

Cappy - to paraphrase the Dilbert classic:
(Mrs. Cappy) doesn't have to go because chicks are born already knowing this stuff. It's as natural as shopping and crying.

Can you teach my husband this??
This weekend my husband told me for my birthday I can have a new bedroom set.  I found exactly what I wanted in about 5 minutes and then he said: " I don't really like that."
Since when do you mens care what your sleeping on looks like? And don't tell me its my Birthday present if I can't have exactly what I want!!

I never had an opinion on furniture ever. Not that it would've mattered anyways,.

Cappy, at least you did not have to hold her purse or the bag from VS...
Count yourself lucky it was only three pairs at an outlet. What if it was three pairs of Jimmy Cho's ?
Only ten minutes in the B&D Outlet ? Oh the shame ~~ You know, you could have gone to the outlet instead of sitting there.
