Okay so, it is already midnight. Well to be exact, it is 12:01am and I am just starting my blog now. At some point I have to get some sleep. So I am going to keep this short and sweet, okay? And anyways, my contacts are drying out on my eyeballs…so if you find any typos, well – I blame the contacts.
Here’s the thing, I am crazy swamped at work, crazy swamped at home – and then some fool committed me to this 40 to 40 blog series. Whose great idea was that anyway? I mean seriously. But let’s not complain about that. Let’s instead complain that all this ‘crazy busyness’ is causing stress, which in turn is leading me to eat like crap, which in turn is leading my pants to shrink, which in turn is leading me to wear a lot of maxi dresses.
Good thing the maxi dress is so trendy right now. And yes, now my secret is out. If you see me wearing a maxi dress, you now know that it is because my pants shrunk. It is NOT…I repeat, NOT because my waste expanded.
Oh wait. Maybe it is. It could be the Vanilla Wafers and Diet Coke for breakfast. Or the crackers and cheese (at least it was real cheese, not the spray kind) for dinner. Or my inability to exercise self control (or just plain exercise) at the fresh baked goods in the cafeteria at work. I love Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter cookies, what can I say. Oh and the Snickerdoodles. And the Ginger Snaps. Oh, and the sugar cookies…
If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you may have seen my tweet today, wishing it was Yoga Pant Tuesday at work. Don’t you think that would be awesomesauce? We could have the pants branded with the company logo and in company colors. I, for one, think this would be totally acceptable and appreciated by employees. So much so, their engagement would increase and they’d get more work done. I’m sure of it. Think of how much more you could concentrate on work, when you aren’t being distracted by holding in your breath so the button on your pants doesn’t shoot off like a rocket and poke someone’s eye out. See where this is going? Dress pants are…just. plain. dangerous. Period.
So, at the beginning, I said I’d keep this short and sweet…and then I went off on a rant about shrinking pants, maxi dresses and the advantages of yoga pants at work. With my exhaustion at it’s breaking point, I’m going to sign off with this…if you see me in a Maxi dress, don’t be yelling about my pants shrinking or which cookie I ate today.
Instead, just say, ‘Nice Dress’.
