Choice

Most of you know it was pretty cold here Monday night.  Air temperature reached 7F (-14C).  For the first time since I moved to the apartment, I wore nice, warm, flannel pajamas instead of a nightgown.  I have a warm nightie or two, but I was certainly glad I had that choice!

And To All A...

A while back, I wrote about my newest favourite nightgown.  I have a new one.

Really short nighties and baby dolls are cute and sexy and SO not me.

Like everything else Meg, I own Too Many nighties.  I just took a quick count and there are four short (miniskirt length) gowns and four long (ankle length) gowns.  And one baby doll with matching panties.

I also have a few pair of pajamas that I wore when I was at the house.  All are from the lingerie department, but now all are in a box, put away in storage.  I did leave out one pair of shortie pjs.

As the weather became cooler, I decided I wanted a long flannel gown.  Yes, they're incredibly unsexy, but they are gowns and suited to purpose.

Did I say "unsexy?"  The flannel gowns I saw were horrid.  The patterns were hideous and they looked like no-one without great-grandchildren would wear.

Then I found the gown I'm wearing here.  It's like a brushed cotton.  It has a soft lining.  It is in what I think is my favourite colour ~ purple.

And it's cute.  The picture below shows the upper body detail (click for Even More detail).
The slippers are girl Dearforms.  It can be hard to find wide girl slippers.


And yes I take my makeup off before going to bed.

"I Don't Care. Go Ahead."

Even with the boys away, I haven't had an opportunity for Meg to make an entrance (or exit into the world of civilians).  I had a little free time on Tuesday and did some laundry.  Well, of course, the easiest way to wash everything would be to change into something from Meg's side of the closet.  It was just a blouse and skirt, but even that makes a big difference in how I feel.  Even organising the guest area and cleaning up the bathroom for my weekend houseguest is more pleasant that way.

During the week, my wife usually gets on her computer until midnight or 1AM.  I try to get up early and I'm in bed by 11.  When it got close to (my) bedtime, I told her that I was going to take advantage of the boys' absence and wear a nightgown to bed.  I told her I'd stay in the guest room, if she'd prefer.  Her less-than-enthusiastic response is the subject of this post.

Wednesday, I did the same but without mentioning it in advance.  She said nothing either time.  I made a point of not showing up downstairs where she was after my shower.

Unless something else is going on at bedtime tonight, I'll repeat.

My wife has been hedging about whether she'll be out tonight or not, and for how long.  Meg may make a full appearance tonight.  I've been prepping for the past few days, just in case.  I'd like to go out shopping, but even a couple of hours around the house will be nice.

As I said, I've been prepping.  The weekend will be shorts weather; I'll explain hairless arms and legs if necessary.  If I'm asked, that is.  I won't bring attention to it, but I won't tell stories either.

Update: my wife will not be working late.
