I remember this one day in 1986 while I was in the sixth grade that I’ll never ever forget. I was supposed to have my clothes out the night before and ready for school, I didn’t do it and woke up the next morning frantically looking for something to wear. Everything seemed to be dirty.

Now lets go back a few months….
Months prior my Grandmother had given me (I’m not sure why) two of her old polyester pants I just kinda looked at them and said thanks and they as you could imagine remained hanging up in my closet. Now that I think about it I should of thrown them out right away.

Back to that school day….
My Mom after getting upset with me for not getting something out the night before or getting clothes to do laundry did the unthinkable and told me to wear these ugly orange polyester pants that looked like they were straight out of the 70’s. They for the most part looked just like the pair to the right. I remember the look and the feel of these pants all too well. I remember the way they looked on me as I looked down and the bottoms of them swayed back and forth as if I was the school bell when I walked. I remember how embarrassed I was all day and most importantly how embarrassed I was sitting next to one of the most popular girls in the class.

Did your parents ever do anything like this to you? Or I guess I should say did you ever do anything like this to yourself?

Let’s not get this post confused with the ever so popular and disgusting internet video titled 2 Girls 1 Cup If you want a actual link to this video ask me and I’ll provide it. But I must say it’s rather disgusting, even for me…

But ANYHOW!!!!

Over my years of life and the girlfriends I have had over time. I have never really lived with another woman (other then my mom) for more then 2-3 months. Well now Lela is moving in with me and let me tell you words can’t tell you how happy I am. However happy I maybe for myself, I am sad for her and her friends being how they wont be so close to each other anymore. But we will make it a point that we/she go see them. We will be staying at my place for the next month or two then move to a new place that is bigger that can accompany the two of us and our combined 3 loving children. Ohh look Brandon will have a Brother and a Sister lol.

Anyhow I was thinking about this last night, how usually the woman of the household is automatically in charge of decorating the place. I love this fact as I love to attempt to decorate. Believe it or not, I at one time as a child wanted to be a interior decorator. But now I’m thinking oh oh there will be two of us living in this house. Chances are we are both going to want to decorate therefore we will probably argue on how we want to decorate the house. We have so many things in common but I’m not sure that decor is one of them. Now don’t get me wrong I love red but Lela’s love for red, well lets just say she takes it to a whole new level. To quote something she wrote in her blog “I looooooooooove red, all things red. Red is so sexy to me. It’s really hard to explain the feeling that red gives me. I know most people think that red is a sexual color and yes it is, but for me it’s a color that just makes me happy.” Everything in her house I think is red or at least in the kitchen. Red this and red that which includes a microwave and toaster which I actually love. But that is because they are a nice deep shade of red and not a bright shade that blinds ya.

So I think in order for this to work for us, were both going to have to give and take a little. I for one am definitely willing to give a little to make her happy.
