I barely got out of bed in time this morning to get Pumpkin up and get her ready for school. I threw on the hideous red sweatpants and stained t-shirt I had on yesterday as soon as I got up. Once I woke up a little, I remembered that I had to go to the phone company and pay part of the cell phone bill while I was out, so I threw on this black denim button-up shirt that I hate. I know they say that black is slimming, but I swear that shirt makes me look twenty pounds heavier.

So I went out and took Pumpkin to school and went to pay the phone bill. I ended up standing in there forever because they were having computer problems and had to call the main office to get my balance. I finally got out of there and hightailed it home so I could try to get some work done. When I walked into the living room and saw myself in the mirror, I was horrified. Did I really go out of the house like that?

I mean, I usually put on some makeup before I go out, and today was no exception. But wearing what I was wearing, I think not wearing makeup would have been more fitting.

You’re probably thinking I’m vain right about now, but I’m really not. I just like to look presentable when I go out in public. And this morning I was (and still am) anything but. I guess I should give in and wash some clothes so I’ll have something decent to wear.
