Forced Exercise

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

I’m making this post short. Mainly because I’m in a foul mood. And I’m forcing myself to see the upside of life. You know how fucking hard that is to do when you’re as pissy as I am right now?

Stresser: Subsequent Upside

Boobs seemed to have grown a size overnight causing my standard black dress to be snug on top: Makes my waist look super tiny.

Forgot to eat breakfast: Eating Cheetos for breakfast totally guilt free. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and that’s all I had in my office.

Rush to get out the door today: See above upside.

My to-do list at work is HUGE and growing: I have a job.

Need to respond to an email my ex sent me: He’s my ex.

I have a business lunch I’m not prepared for: It’s an expensed lunch.

Cancelled my session with my trainer tonight: Booked a 90 minute massage instead.

My feet hurt in my heels as soon as I put them on, but only when I walk: I have feet and I can walk (yay, two upsides!).

Worried that eating all these Cheetos will make me fat: I can blame the person who gave them to me as a gift. And call him a bastard for making me fat.

Enough. I’ve go plenty to be happy about. If I keep telling myself that, my mood will change, right? Maybe I’ll just quietly get through the day and come back tomorrow all fucking happy.

Carry on with your day people. Hugs and love and all that shit!

Par for the Course, Under Actually

Friday, September 18th, 2009

I spent yesterday afternoon celebrating a couple of birthdays on the golf course. We’re starting an annual tradition….a scramble golf tournament. With just a few of us.  Yesterday was proof that this would be a success and it was a blast. Here are a few photos of my adventure identifying what I like. Starting with: I like a day on a course.

I like the sun.

I like the beach.

I like a good view.

I like friends who cut off my head.

And for those who care, we shot 2 under par and we played 9 holes at Old Mill Golf Course.

What Not to Wear (to Work)

Monday, September 14th, 2009

My kid is amazing. She has a talent of making snap decisions about really tough things. Like which earrings look better. Or which shoes I should wear.

So, like most mornings, I needed her opinion as I was racing out the door for work.

Me: Does this blouse show too much for work?
Elle: No mom. It looks fine.
Me: [kneeling down so my cleavage was at Elle's eye level] Are you sure?
Elle: Yes mom. You look cute.

As a female with a rack, what I see when looking down always looks more revealing than the view from the front.

So we left the house.

Once I got to the office, I caught a glimpse of this shirt in a reflection. Here’s what I saw:

Either my kid was in a rush and wanted to get to school, thought I changed professions or needs glasses.

I’m completely thankful for safety pins. This one saved my career. Or at least, my reputation. (But probably ruined my reputation of having a little style.)
