there sure is nothing like that first day of warm weather.
um, that is, unless, like me, you are completely unprepared.
my summer clothing is still all tucked away nicely somewhere (erm…on the highest shelves of my closet..unreachable for short people like me)
i still have yet to buy myself a spring jacket.
and my toes. we aren’t even going to talk about my toes. well, perhaps we are…but only for a sentence or two (so as to keep your lunch inside your stomach). not only are my toes in desperate need of a good pedicure…the last time these toes were touched was way back at Christmastime, while i was in Atlanta. so…this is, how shall i put it, over 3 months ago?? so the little bits of red polish that is still on said toes is over three months old. can i get a collective, ew? (and i won’t mention that these same toes are poking out of the sandals i threw on this morning.)
so, today i look affright (is this a word, even? Kath? i fear i may have made this up!)
i threw on the only non-wool skirt i could find (or reach). it’s nice. black. nothing special. paired it with the first short-sleeved shirt i could find. nice shirt. a light green color. would have been a lot nicer had it been three sizes bigger. seriously…did i get huge over the winter? when did i get porn star boobs? or maybe i just shrunk it? i swear this shirt used to fit…
and then there are the sandals. i panicked this morning when it came to footwear. summery skirt and t-shirt….casual. what shoes to wear. the only choice was the sandals. bah.
i sure hope those What Not to Wear people don’t show up at my house today.
Desperately in need of a pedicure!!! Husband has been on nights & mom is renovating kitchen so haven’t had time to book one yet for lack of a babysitter…did I mention as I was about to dive into our summer clothing exchange we had a power failure for 8 hours yesterday!!! I totally am not ready for summer but I’m also sooo happy it’s here.
Yes, me too. I live in WILMINGTON NORTH CAROLINA… and I am ashamed to admit that it has been in the sixties since february, and I have just been too lazy and busy to do my toenails. I need to so badly. Maybe I should treat myself to a pedicure later, but I am always so embarassed to get one because my toenails are all screwed up. Seriously I have really little feet and so I don’t have any decent sized toenails. Also, my pinky toenails are miniscule, and they’ve taken such a beating from bad shoes they are warped, and I can pretty much cut them off without hurting my toes. Gross, right? Plus I have toenail polish on from a few months ago, and I have a fear (hopefully not too wellfounded) that my feet stink. God, I cannot get a pedicure.
oh i love warm weather.i’m usually barefoot.or sandals.and yep i sure could use a pedicure.never had one by the way.i don’t know about porn star boobs but i can’t buy sets of clothes because what fits the bottom doesn’t fit up top.
ah! of course! adrienne! i could have asked you!
Ahh, the porn-star boobs. You KNOW I can relate right now. Only I know when I got mine — pretty much as soon as I saw those two pink lines…. 😉 There’s NO WAY I’m wearing any of my summer clothes from my last pregnancy! 😉 HIDEOUS!
yup. affright is a word.
I hope you can take solace in the fact that you at least do not have a disgustingly bruised toenail from hiking in bad shoes, a toenail that cannot even be covered in polish because you are obsessed with checking the status of the bruise daily, if not hourly, for fear that the toenail is just going to fall right off any day now because your husband has insisted on telling you toenail horror stories and now you are deeply afraid of this toenail just *pop!* coming off at the most inopportune time.
I also wore shorts for the first time this weekend on that toe-damaging hike, and I think the glare coming off my oh-so-white legs was enough to blind all the other hikers out there. It was a scary sight, let me tell you.
You may look affright (which I sincerely doubt, by the way), but not as affrightful (what a fun word!) as me.
Okay, first of all, you are hilarious.
Second? I just looked at my toes, and they seriously freaked me out. The sun is a-shinin’, so thanks for the heads up. Or is that toes up?
