Or at least that seems to be the case for most persons I know. Late, yesterday afternoon, I got home around 5 p.m. from a Land Summit meeting that had been held in Chino, and I announced to Carolyn that I needed to get a dark suit for the funeral on Saturday. My formal attire has either not kept up with current styles or my current 'physique' and I haven't bought a new suit in over a decade.
Carolyn agreed to come with me to the Men's Warehouse near the Laguna Hills mall. I told the salesman that I needed a dark suit for funerals and evening weddings, and I needed it tailored by Friday night. We looked at several that I rejected because I didn't want to look like a gangster or someone in a 'shiny' suit. Within about thirty minutes, we'd chosen a dark suit with a slightly lighter thin stripe, two shirts, two ties, socks, and had the suit measured for alterations.
Now, picture that same scene say with Carolyn looking for a dress for a wedding. My guess is several days of visiting numerous shops in several malls to find the right dress. I am so glad I'm a guy because I hate shopping (not counting Home Depot or Circuit City, of course).
We were out of the store a little past 6 and over to California Pizza Kitchen for chicken chipotle ravioli (pretty spicy!) and lettuce wraps before heading over to our Thursday night Bible study where we continued into the second chapter of 1 Peter.
A funeral and family gathering for Uncle George on Saturday and Resurrection Sunday with Wanda, Lisa and Katie. Happy Easter everyone!!
