The Elks lodge that he is joining down here has a “Uniform” (I guess you’d call it) of the members wearing dark blue blazers and gray dress pants. He doesn’t have a pair of gray dress pants that fit him, so we need to go buy him a pair this weekend. I think he said he needs them by Wednesday. Last week we looked for a pair (on sale) at Wal-Mart while we were grocery shopping but he said that they didn’t have his size.
I wish he would just tell me what size he needs so I could just go buy them for him. He has a tendency to buy pleated front, cuffed pants, which just don’t look good on his body type. They make him look short and fat. He needs flat front, no-cuffed pants to look his best, taller and thinner. Whenever he goes shopping, he is so proud of what he bought that I really don’t want to tell him that he does not look good in the clothes that he bought.
It’s a struggle, because he wants to be part of the process, and I want him to look his best. And neither one of us feels well right now, so that makes it more difficult because our tempers are short.
So, today I think we will be shopping at JC Penney’s, Kohls, Target, and Belk’s. Maybe we’ll try the thrift shops first!
