Its all in how you accessorize, I guess. . .

I read this article the other day, while I was waiting for my physical therapist, mini-mimi to do her usual nothing with my hand. . .
It involved couples. It was about relationships, and while I don't usually read that sort of thing (because, frankly, every relationship is unique to its own self, and any self proclaimed 'relationship guru' is usually a dumbass, anyhow) the premise of this one was so ridiculous that I perused it.
What they were saying, in a nutshell, is that Fashion Wise, couples should match each other.
Excuse me?
Yes. We should all be oh so matched. Of course, they had to give celebrity examples, like Will and Jada (Pinkett)Smith, and Brangelina ect. ect. Where they lost me was showing Ben Affleck with J-Lo AND Jennifer Garner Hello? He and J-Lo were the ultimate matchy matchy people, and they broke up! They said J-Lo tried to make him too pretty and fashion forward. So they were doomed. Jennifer lets him be his sloppy, jeans wearing self, I guess.
They also showed Ashton and Demi. Whatever.
Anyhow. My brain has been flashing back to this stupid article intermittently, between my diabolic plans to make oompa loompa's out of the frenemies. Since I accomplished that, I figured if I blogged this it would climb out of my head.
I guess my thinking that attraction, and common interests and values, and, well, Love, was what kept couples happy and together. Along with lots of xanax, therapy and/or booze, possibly. I thought hard work, communication, compromise, and respect for one another were more ingredients to what kept a relationship alive.
And to think, all along, it's the clothing.
Good thing MM is comfortable in jeans, that's all I'm saying.
But speaking of MM, and looking at the date, it reminds me that we are halfway through our Chocolate free month. (almost). I have a chocolate conundrum, though.
We started this, because chocolate was freely and greatly consumed in the month of December. Yes it was. So, January rolls around, we are chocolate free. We are all, truthfully, in our heads, gleefully awaiting Feb. 1st. where most of us will probably celebrate with a piece of chocolate. MM has been so very supportive of my chocolate free month. Yesterday, knowing my love of Dark Chocolate, he told me that when I made it through the month, he was going to give me a "basket of gourmet dark chocolate". My immediate thought was, yum! I love dark chocolate! So I agreed with him that he could do so. But. I don't want to eat so much chocolate in February that it totally defeats what I did in January. . .
I am afraid we are going to enter a chocolate backlash, ladies. Any thoughts?
