Don't do it in the dark

Yeah, getting ready for work without turning the light on invites chaos. Take the other morning, for instance. I went through the entire day before I realized my drawers were on inside out.

Or when I overslept this morning. I hit the off button instead of the snooze and woke up with 10 minutes to spare before Fahjah arrived to whisk us away to work. I threw on a nearby "cleanest, dirty" pair of jeans. I was trying to avoid the pair I wore to the Japanese restaurant on Sunday night and the pair I wore out to the bar in Menomonie Saturday night. They had a non-odor so on they went. Now I'm sitting here and I can distinctly pick up the smell of Japanese restaurant. Awesome. At least this hair-do I'm currently sporting can fly with just running a brush through it.

Of course, getting dressed in the dark doesn't help or hinder your sense of smell, but...what the hell...? My underwear's on inside out AGAIN?

Today's the day I meet the man of my dreams, isn't it...

  1. Probably. And you didn't shave your legs either, right?

  2. And I'm here in Indy trying to teach a nine-year-old and a ten-year-old to use alarm clocks. Wasting my time?

  3. Anonymous...I'm darn lucky I remembered deodorant and the toothbrush.

    Momma, I just told Gary I don't think it's right that I'm pulling 30 and still occasionally oversleep. I said I pictured myself at 63, waking up with a start, panicking that I'm going to miss the bus for school. Gary added, "And I can't remember my locker combination!!!"

  4. I met the man of my dreams while the back of my skirt was tucked into my underwear.

    (He probably thought I was easy.)

    Was this an act of stupidity or a brilliant dating move on my part?

    History has yet to decide....

  5. I used to put my underwear on wrong all the time. One time I had a thong all crooked with the leg hole around my waist.

  6. Cheryl,

    I am CRYING WITH LAUGHTER at that image! Tears, snorting, and hiccups.

    It hurts a little.

  7. Cheryl, I think somewhere deep in my subconscious I will remember that in a past life you were my identical twin. Or my mom's identical twin, anyway. You ever try to take your sweatshirt off while walking on a treadmill?

  8. Since when did you go over to the dark side of actually wearing underwear??

  9. I can wear my jeans more often before washing (as long as I separate the hibachi chicken-scented ones from the non-scented ones). Is that an "Ew" thing? Underwear is a fairly strong barrier, right?

  10. Trish...I'm guessing he liked your panties and figured you just couldn't possibly be a challenge. Clearly, he was wrong.
    Cheryl....Thongs? Thank you.
