Adieu

Well, we are upon the eve of Valentines Day, and as many of you know, I am a true romantic at heart.


I simply adore little unexpected love notes,  perfume in pretty bottles, soft and frilly garments (whether worn on the outside, or underneath. Hehe), sassy red shoes, flowers in every hue, sweet fluffy feather pillows with rosebud prints, glowing candlelight, and of course loads of sparkly jewelry! You would figure that I am hoping for cupid to bring me something along those lines, right? Well I'm not!!


You see, I have a confession to make. My one absolute guilty pleasure is my holey, threadbare, raggedy men's robe that I have had for a trillion years. I know, this a shocker right?? Not so romantic... I know!!


It seems that I  have just painted a pretty picture, and then boom, I dropped a load of baby poo on it!!


Before you judge let me tell the various ways my beloved robe has served me:


  • It has acted as a nice and comfy "smoking jacket". Not that I smoke, but I feel that the robe gives that Hugh Hefner look when I wear it around the house over my regular clothes. I even slipped that bad boy on over my wedding dress on my wedding night!!! Well, if Al didn't see that as a caution sign, then I guess he must have had his eyes shut TIGHT!!


  • At night it serves as an extra blanket.


  • It's even served as a emergency baby blanket. Though Al put an immediate stop to that one. He told me if I wanted to look like a hobo that was one thing, but not the kids. Not to mention that between the two of my  munchkins, I have enough baby blankets to open up my own maternity ward! 


Truly folks, the list could go on and on, but I have a feeling I would be the only one not bored.


Well, the time has come to bid the robe adieu. You see, the trim of the robe has become separated from the rest of the robe. This has proven to be a great hazard. Every time I walk past a door, the friggin trim gets caught on the doorknob!!! Not only tearing my lovey further, but yanking me backwards as well!!


So folks bow your heads with me and give a  moment of silence for my beloved robe. I wish that cupid ( a.k.a Al ) would bring me another, but I know he is glad to see the thing go, and is not willing to endure another 12 years of unattractive robe wearing. I know that he will continue to buy me slinky, silky robes from Victoria's Secret, and that I will continue NOT to wear them.


Ahhhh, but what Mr. doesn't know is that I have a BACK-UP tucked away in the depths of my closet!!

Mu ha ha ha!!!

My rack is ready and waiting for a new friend to keep me cozy and warm.. and seriously. My hubby won't mind. It probably looks just like the cozy friends I walk around in all day.. Seriously. ALL DAY!!!!!

  9. It is not what is on the outside that matters...but what is on the inside of the robe that truly matters:) LOVE the robe!! I said goodbye to some beloved pj shorts last year. My husband finally said...I think your butt looks big on those shorts...that was all it took:):):)

    Take Care!!!

  15. Hi! I'm a new follower. I saw your post on Etsy discussions!

    I totally understand. You see, I have/had this pair of PJ pants that my sister hand made for me. The very definition of comfort I could not bear to part with them even after I got paint on them, tore and eventually wore, little holes in them...just.couldn't.do.it.

    Hubs and my kids started refering to them as my "crotch pants" because I had to patch the crotch and still refused to give them up. I've now retired them. As the comments from my loved ones got more annoying and disturbed my comfort level.

    But I wear them when no one else is home! *victory*

  17. LOL, I can relate, only my best friends are my raggedy paint stained jeans. It KILLs me when they won't stay on my body anymore because they're ripped out in so many places!

  20. Too funny! You have my favorite perfume there (Hypnotic Poison)... I first fell in love with it when I was really young, sifting through the little sample bottles in my grandma's closet. I searched for years to find out they discontinued it for a long time. But it's back!
