I have many bad habits some cute, some gross, and some well personal...wink, wink, cough...One of my habits is wearing my hubbies boxers. A pair of men's boxers & a tank top is the perfect sleeping attire as far as I'm concerned. I have bought pj's twice my whole life both for the hospital when giving birth...the rest of the time it's boxers & tank tops even in the winter...hey that's why they make heaters ...if I get desperate I might put on a pair of sweats after I get up.
So when the husband says to me "your ass looks so frumpy in my boxers..." I wasn't insulted. I wasn't even shocked...I'm not wearing them because they make the C section scar seem tiny & the tummy look flat. I was intrigued....he still looks at my ass? I wasn't even aware that he remembered I owned one. I don't really have an ass...I have a flat surface with a slit. We've been together 10 years I didn't even think he bothered to "look" at me anymore. Lets face it I bath & kinda groom myself so as to not embarrass the children or scare the elderly. It never occurred to me that my husband or any guy was checking me out.
AND when did that happen? I got lost somewhere & forgot that maybe someone would find me attractive...seriously when I was young it was all about being checked out...now I could give a shit. In fact if I can fade into the background & not be noticed even better...because I attract eccentric people whom I adore for their entertainment value, but now that I have 2 kids I have no time to be entertained. I was aware of being "seen" when I was bar tending I enjoyed it & exploited it...but now "why?" is all that really comes to mind.
I don't remember what I said to Dear Hubby when he said that...I remember standing there for a bit thinking "wow, he's still looking...poor dude..."
personal note: to all you woman who will email me telling me I need to look good for my husband can kiss my ass or kiss their own husbands ass. A person should look good for themselves...after a day of handling 2 kids, a nana, a household, and school all I want is a comfy pair of boxers. So as Miss Kathy says "suck it..."
FYI: The Happening is an interesting film. I am a huge fan of M. Knight Shamladingdong but it's not the type of film to watch after a very windy day & a very windy evening...If you've seen it you know why & if you haven't I shall not ruin it for you....

I'm so there with you.
When I was pregnant I wore his boxers and one of his t-shirts because either nothing else fit or was comfortable enough.
Now I just wear a t-shirt and chonies and that's about the extent of that.
I haven't seen The Happening yet, but I think I have it on Netflix, I think.
I went out with some moms last week Monday and we saw Changeling. I will say that it is a good movie, but have tissues near you.
As for looking good for your husband. Um...he already married you, the race is over. Do I wear make up regularly...fuck no. I wear it when we go out for a date, but only if we're going to a restaurant. If we go to a movie, fuck it we're in the dark.
