It was more the story behind it and your phrasing that makes this funny not how you looked.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12082337415906808358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205538229281562484.post-72689952563382024722012-03-11T10:15:52.859-04:002012-03-11T10:15:52.859-04:00Karen,

Every morning I enter my closet I am disappointed to find the same boring items waiting for me. I loved the way you shared your morning dilemma. I think we all can relate. Thanks for making me smile.<br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205538229281562484.post-75644240554786486062012-03-11T09:59:28.327-04:002012-03-11T09:59:28.327-04:00Thank you for your honesty!

I am lucky to teach in this district with you. <br /><br />Today, I will put on freshly washed jeans (all the yoga pants are dirty), lay on the bed, and pray that I can button them.Kelli Traberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270227341091853623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205538229281562484.post-26009369119997391292012-03-10T22:17:40.096-05:002012-03-10T22:17:40.096-05:00If others knew what was really thought about in th...If others knew what was really thought about in the mornings while dressing they would find it hard to believe. This is hilarious Karen. The "Broken in so I wouldn't have to lay down on the bed to get the newly washed jeans zipped up." told it all. And then the big choice of a substitute. I don't have the comfy yoga pants, but do have some other workout pants & love wearing them. This is certainly an important part of our day, the 'dressing period'. Thanks for saying it all for us!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3205538229281562484.post-23049742155929571732012-03-10T20:35:33.964-05:002012-03-10T20:35:33.964-05:00Karen, your post had me laughing out loud.

The freshly washed are too tights and both pairs of the broken in ones are too loose after wearing for a day, they are better when freshly washed.

Laying down on the bed and zippering your jeans reminded me of my teenage years, when it was the fashion to wear them that tight. Oh the pain we endure for fashion!
