I'm packing for a business trip. During this trip I will have to have casual wear, business wear, and an outfit appropriate for a goddamned "casual" cocktail party.
So I'm like "what do you think of this for the 'casual cocktail' which I don't know what that means but I looked up the venue and it's all rustic luxe with metallic wallpaper and antler chandeliers?" I'm wearing J Crew minnie pants in black and a flowy blue top.
He's like "I don't like capri pants in business settings."
THEY'RE NOT CAPRI PANTS AND IT'S NOT BUSINESS-BUSINESS. And I'm EXTRA EXTRA annoyed because it took me like eight minutes to just get the damn question out because he wasn't paying attention and needed, apparently, DETAILS on EVERY SINGLE THING I'LL BE DOING in order to answer my question. Which he answered incorrectly.

But if you kill him, he won't bake for you! THINK OF THE COOKIES!
Instead, he must be punished. You should make a big purchase willy-nilly, without reading ANY reviews or doing ANY SORT OF RESEARCH WHATSOEVER. And just tell him it's pretty. Get. His. Goat.
I stomped around being annoyed and feeling sorry for myself and I solved my problem (flowy black skirt + black ballet neck top + fun belt) for "casual cocktails" and the husband hugged me and now I'm less mad. Also, I found my missing jewelry roll when tossing things about in a fit of pique. Bonus!
A friend of mine in college taught me this game called odd or even. Basically you go up to a guy wearing shorts, say "odd or even?" get their answer, then yank some hair off their legs.
It is really painful and mean. But it kind of seems appropriate tonight.
