Inside Out

Today was one of THOSE days. I think I need to start having more caffeine in the morning so I stop doing stupid things. What I did this morning is almost as funny as when I wore two different shoes to work and didn't realize it for hours.


The forecast was warning it was going to be a scorcher today with temps in the 90s so I tried to find my lightest weight top to wear to work today. I couldn't find the shirt I was looking for so I threw on what I could find that fit and started rushing out the door. I was running a little late but would still make it to work on time if I caught the bus and the train without too long of a wait. As I was heading out the door I saw the lighter weight shirt I was looking for so I whipped off the shirt I put on and threw the lighter shirt on and ran out the door. I walked down the street to the bus stop and as I started reading my book I looked down and noticed the seam on the outside of my shirt. OMG - I put my shirt on backwards!! Now what am I going to do? Do I wait 'til I take the bus and the train and walk to the office to change, do I run back to the house and miss the bus, do I stomp my feet and throw a temper tantrum? Do I go home and crawl back into bed?


I knew I would miss the bus if I went all the way back up the three flights of stairs to my apartment so I went up on my front porch which is hidden behind three massive trees to quickly turn my shirt around.


Yeah, it was another one of THOSE days. Am I the only one who leaves the house with two different shoes and inside out clothes?

These Shoes Were Made for Walkin'

As I was getting ready to head out to lunch today around 1:30 pm I looked down and said to myself "I can't believe I wore my sneakers to work," and then I looked at my other foot and realized I had a different shoe on it. They were both black and, apparently, the same height because I didn't feel any difference. I couldn't stop laughing. Not only did I not realize I had two different shoes for over 5 hours but not one person in my office noticed it either. Luckily I keep a few extra pairs of shoes at work so I didn't have to walk around with two different shoes ALL day. I don't think I've ever done that before.

I must really need a vacation. Good thing I'm taking next week off to go snowmobiling in the great white north.

Is this what happens when you get old? I'm going to have to start double checking my footwear before I walk out the door in the morning.
