    Smile Kilt power strikes again!

    My wife and I went to look at an apartment yesterday. Both the manager and the leasing agent fawned over my kilt the whole time. (My wife, used to this sort of thing just wore her smug "He's mine, ladies" expression.) Because my credit is a little iffy, we weren't sure we'd get the apartment. Today, however, we got a call to go in and do paperwork! I haven't got buckles on the new camo kilt yet and the tartan kilt is due for a cleaning (I can just throw it in the washer- thank goddess for polyviscose!) so I just threw on some sweats and we headed over. The disappointment that I wasn't kilted was almost palpable, but we still have our new apartment situation squared away, thanks in part to the power of the kilt!

    Congratulations. I thought I would get quite the reaction when we did the closing on our home last month. I wore my Wallace with a white cotton button-up. But, no one said a word. Ah well.

    Hope you have plenty of room. Memphis is a long drive.

    Congrats on the new place, now you'll just need to finish the next kilt before the move in, you dont want to dissapoint the manager again now do you?

    Not to be a wet blanket, but make sure that you pay your rent on time and you can rebuild your credit rating.

    Good luck in your new dwelling!

    So, I wonder, what would a kilt-power symbol look like?
