    2 kilts on the way, none in the closet

    O Lord, I'm in trouble now! I kept looking at the 36" SWK Saffon, saying "you can wait for the Gordon from Scotland (mid September target)". Then I looked at the price. Then I reached for my wallet.

    What'll I tell the wife? She's not as "enthusiastic" about this as are my Kinder. Oh well.

    OK, got the solid green! Should be here by Monday or so, knowing Jerry's service. Alas, I will be in FL looking after the house and will have to wait until I return to get it!

    Tell her you put a pair of pants under your pillow and the Kilt Fairy brought it to you.

    My wife is going to kill me

    I knew I shouldn't have looked at this thread last night. My wife was just telling me about how I shouldn't waste to much money on this "kilt thing" but I was having dreams about one of those Saffron kilts and ordered a 36" this AM. And since it's on sale I just had to have another pair of stockings and that sporran cantle set. Oh man, she's going to kill me. Good thing I head out of town on Sunday. I'd better lay low until then.

    I didn't pick up one of the sale heavyweights. But, I did order myself a Wallace tartan kilt I needed a red tartan in a bad way. And the econo prices are so good I figured I'd give one a shot. I have one of his standards (the NS) and the only thing I don't care for on it is that I think the acrylic in that much yardage is a bit much. So, I'm excited to see how an acrylic 4-5 yarder feels.

    What in the world just happened !?

    I was talking about how this sale was killing me, not being able to buy one and my wife says, if you really want it just go ahead and get it.

    Exsqueeze Me?

    Baking Powder?

    Needless to say the 38" Saffron was ordered at light speed before she came to her senses

    Better keep coming up with the requests while she's giving you the green light, Cav.

    Maybe she thought she had waited long enough and all the good sizes (including yours) would be gone! If not, then order one of each color in your size. Isn't that what the ladies do to us? Oh honey, I just loved the style, so I bought one in each color! And there were only 40 different colors. Of course, the pollen, saffron, and mustard are similar as are the purple, fuschia, and violet, but they are all necessary for my wardrobe.

    It is about time to start planning something for the Stone Montain HG's. There was a pretty good turn out of X-markers last year from what I read.

    Where in Atlanta are you Turpin?
