Our Wonderful Years...

Over the course of the average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart.

Brown hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that happened to me that mattered, in some way, had to do with her. After all, she was my girl. And I knew that she understood that in some small way my achievements were her achievements.

Skinny pants/Fat days!?!?

So, I woke up this morning and do the standard "What am I gonna wear today" routine....

I finally settle on a pair of sort of "skinny pants" (the kind you wear when you're feeling really good about yourself, you know, not actual 'skinny leg pants'-yuck) that I have from J.Crew. I even managed to iron them this weekend. I put them on and I'm feeling pretty good. Accessorized and everything! I'm ready to go.

I get into the car, get to work early, I'm on fire today! I even notice that the pants are feeling a little loose, am I losing weight? Score! Have mini-bagel downstairs to celebrate (yes, totally defeatist)...

Then this:

9 AM- Get up to use the restroom at work and realize, oh wait...not losing weight, the button has just popped off! OMG! What am I gonna do...hike down my shirt and pray no one asks me to get up. Its not like they are gonna fall off, but here's this flap of material just hanging because there's no button.

9:05 AM-Alpha team starts mission: Find Button!

9:10 AM-Alpha team fails miserably. Even tried retracing all steps and checking car. Resolve to go home at lunch and change.

9:20 AM-Alpha team laughs uncontrolably at irony of wearing skinny pants and having "fat moment" of button popping off.

So yeah, I thought I'd share that...I have actually lost five pounds due to "wedding stress" diet, but apparently that was no match for the MIA J.Crew button!
