Weekend Getaways

Good morning,
Okay, while there is only one person besides me reading this I still feel like treating it as if everyone reads it. I am currently in the process of preparing for a weekend trip. After all the talk yesterday about what has happen to the family road trip, my loving wife decided we should go to visit my sister who lives three hours away. While I understand three hours is not really that far it does require the attention of making preprations. This is the part I do not enjoy. I admit to overpacking. I cannot give my wife a hard time because I am very manpretty. (this only means I care about the way I look, not that I am in anyway pretty or anything of the sorts.) So this requires the right amount of clothes and accessories to make myself presentable. That being said, I cannot give my wife a hard time for the way I pack. However, I certaintly can give her a hard time for how long it takes for her to pack! I pack just as much as she does and I generally help pack the kids. I am still done packing decades(exaggerated to express a point!) before she even knows what she is taking. My point is this. I care just as much how I look as she cares how she looks, yet she takes FOREVER! Seriously, why is it women cannot get ready as fast as men. I know all you women are saying "you guys don't care about the way you look" but that is obviously not the case in some situations. Men secretly at least a lot I know(none of whom are gay) care about their appearances. I leave out my friends who are gay because you women will use that as an excuse for why they care about their appearances. The thing is some of those friends DON'T CARE! The minute you start stereotyping you start making assumptions.(whole nother blogpost entirely) Anyway's I am determined to figure out why women are slower in these preperations.
Most women will also make the arguement that it takes longer to do their hair. POPPYCOCK!(okay so I'm using a grandmother word to make a point, get over it) News flash! Men have lots of hair too. Some men actually do their hair and make it a point to style it. Still they(for the most part) do it in a timely manner. So if someone could tell me why this phenomenom exsists, I would be particularly grateful. Considering I got way off topic, I will leave you with this thought. If no one cared how they looked, would the world truly be a better place? Or would we just not care about anything at all?
Good night, and good luck(copyright infringement)

  1. Yes, I am the 'only other person', but keep 'em coming!!! Ok, seriously, I am VERY 'manpretty', too. And I am not gay, either. ;) But I take pride in my appearance, and am grateful in a family of baldies that I still have a great head of hair that I, IN FACT, do style!!! .... And, I cannot figure out why I can get 'primped' and ready in literally minutes, while it takes any woman I have ever known HOURS! Another one of life's mysteries, I guess....
