Stopwatch....ready?...GO!!!!!
When I got my 1st kilt...getting dressed was time consuming.
Took me 20 minutes to figure out what combination to wear, took me another 30 minutes (in front of the mirror) to get dressed....and another 15 minutes to adjust straps, twisted sporran strap, position of the flashes, hoses at same lenght, centre the kilt...oh...hell...fix my shirt...pulling it from underneath...etc.
1 hour later..."okey! I'm ready!" 
Michelle: 
Err...well 
2 months later...5 minutes from scratch..."okey! I'm ready!"

LOL....reminds me of some entertainment tonight episode I was watching with my family and they showed how Vanna White got changed from one outfit into another between tapings in a whopping 43 seconds.
My dad turned to my mom and said, "Now why can't you do that..."
My stupid response at the time was, "Because it would take more than Vanna's pit crew to make mom look like that...."

Now, did you get faster because you you just got faster? ...or did you decide that casual doesn't have to be perfect? Some women have to look perfect every time they go past the front door!

Thankfully she laughed but she did throw her magazine at me....if it had been my FATHER saying it then heads would have rolled I am sure!

That is an absolutely PRICELESS story, Robin!! Not that I will admit to going through almost exactly the same thing with MY wife when I first got started. Nope, not me. Uh-uh. :rolleyes:

Ummmm...so how long did it take her to write you out of the will? Bet it was faster than 43 seconds!

Now, did you get faster because you you just got faster?
Yes...and I still do a final check in front of the mirror...just in case.
Michelle had a great time making fun of me...until I got the hang of it...for her it was payback time...
