embracing it
kelly | 5 September 2007 - 12:10am
We're in the car, driving to JLD/HFD's house for dinner. We are each wearing jeans and a hunter green tshirt, a clothing combination which, for the record, I had on first.
"I cannot believe we are going out in matching outfits," I say.
"Why?" he asks.
"Because it's lame!"
"This is who we are. You need to embrace it."
I nearly die laughing. And then he remembers that we forgot to bring along a bottle of wine. We aren't far from home, so he turns the car around.
We both go back into the house. He chooses a bottle of wine. I see that it has a bright red REDUCED PRICE sticker on the back. "We cannot take reduced price grocery store wine to dinner!" I exclaim. He looks puzzled. Before he can object, I continue, "And don't say this is who we are!"
He laughs. And then points out that, actually, this is totally who we are. He's right. We discuss peeling off the sticker, but decide against it. It does not occur to either of us to change clothes.
We leave, matching outfits intact and reduced price grocery store wine in tow.

Or you could have brought a 5 pack of beer to the dinner.
You went back for that wine? Really?
However, it did not matter how much the wine cost - it got the job done. Although - that also could have been the mojitos, since when they did not taste right we just kept adding rum. I mean, what else would you need more of in a mojito to make it taste right?
You and Rob are too cute! I laughed outloud! Thanks for the morning cheer! :)
mister mrtl refuses to leave the house in matching outfits (and for the record, "matching" also includes completely different shades of the same color). I'm proud of you!
*chuckling*
I was sure that you were going to say you changed outfits. Too funny that you had the matching outfits and the reduced price sticker. :-D
Reduced priced wine always tastes better.
Ha. Next time, William.
HFD, I know, right?! I didn't mention that before because it was slightly embarrassing that we would have turned around for THAT wine. The matching outfits were shameful enough. And indeed, the mojitos were definitely the beverage highlight. :)
Glad to bring laughter to your morning, Jen. :)
We also went to Lowe's dressed like this, mrtl. And of course I saw a co-worker there. Although I'm not sure he would have noticed had I not blurted out, "We know we're wearing matching outfits!" Lord.
Changing outfits would have been the obvious, smart thing to do, Danielle. Which is apparently not who we are.
Although I think this bottle was the exception to that, Kranki. Let's just say we decided to drink another bottle of wine first, in order to make the reduced price wine more palatable.
I totally think you should have left the stick on the wine.
I would have CRACKED up if you showed up at my house...like with you as a joke, not at you. I would have thought it was hilarious.
Love it! You guys are sooooo adorably funny.
TKW, that's why, if you and I only lived closer, we would all totally hang out.
Hee. Thanks, Momo. :)
