I think Blu's second option is the best

We had been going to the Highland Games at Estes Park for several years and I had kept saying I was going to get a kilt. Finally, I TOLD her that if my commisions were at the right level in March I was going to order one in April. Well, I ordered it in May instead, got it AFTER the Estes games in Sept 04 and have worn it off and on since. Have 2 now. Still trying to get her to accept it and go out and about with me. I think the Holiday Party this year might do it
