It's a New Year, but I am still a NERD!

Happy New Year! I really am going to be a better blogger, and catch up!

But I thought I would start the year off with a story of something funny that happened today. So I get up every morning around 5:30 am, about the same time that my oldest children are heading out the door to Seminary. Loren and the littles are still sleeping so I use as little light as possible. This morning I was tired and cold, so I chose one of Loren's over sized sweaters, over a long sleeved T-shirt and I grabbed some black leggings with my high heeled black boots over them. It was warm and comfy, and quite 80's chic, which is totally back... I topped the whole outfit off with a long silver necklace, and my little black trench...I know; super cute! I stopped at QT for some gas and hot chocolate. If you don't normally get out this early in the morning,when it's still dark, you might not know that the Quick Trip is a hoppin place, with everyone heading to work, most of which happen to be men; lot's of people like construction workers and Police officers. Anyway As I was gassing up I noticed that I was getting a lot of attention, so naturally I thought to myself that I must have looked extra sassy! The florescent yellow lights really made me shine. This pepped me up immediately, I was more friendly and smiley to everyone inside the store, even the girl with the broom in QT really looked me over good, you know from the Trench coat to the boots, she was probably wishing she could dress in her own cute clothes at her job too. My drive to work was better than usual, I wasn't tired and I felt really cool. I hadn't been at work 5 minutes when, my co-worker and friend Andrea noticed how exceptional I was looking, I agreed and began explaining how I just threw the outfit together for comforts sake, I pushed back from my desk and glanced down, and that's when I realized my HORRIBLE mistake and the cause for all the attention. In the DARK, I must have grabbed my daughter's leggings, not my 18 year daughter's, or my 14 year old daughter's (which I could have pulled off) no I had my little 11 year old daughters black leggins on, which were stretched soo thin that you could see completely through them, everything! in the bright lights of the QT they must have looked like pantyhose! Now let me give you a better visual description; The sweater went down almost mid thigh so it obviously covered all my curves, but my darling Trench coat barley hits right beneath my bottom, and of course my sweater was bunched up underneath my coat. Needless to say I'm sure I gave everyone a good laugh, they probably thought I had forgotten to put my skirt on! I instantly lost that "cool" feeling and felt mortified, luckily there is another QT on my way to work, because I won't be going back to the other one for awhile. I was over it quickly because it's so funny, and sadly so typical! It's reminiscent of another time when I was feeling pretty rad on an airplane... But that's another story.
