Crumb. in Open Diary 2001-2018 (Pre-Prosebox)

It’s Friday. You know what that means? Yes, we can wear jeans to the office. I haven’t been in the office for several Fridays now, so I was excited to be able to sport my sassy new SKINNY jeans. I think I’m soooo sexay in them, and have them tucked into beautiful black boots (probably the last time I wear boots until Fall), and I’m wearing a fairly clingy, long, plunging scoop-neck tunic on top. Hot, right?

But here’s the catch: I still don’t have a full-length mirror at home (I’ve been looking for just the right cheval to tuck into the corner of my bedroom, and just haven’t found it yet). So when I got to work at sashayed into the bathroom to catch a glimpse of my gorgeous self in the mirror, I was horrified to see an R. Crumb drawing staring right back at me:

The extra 10lbs I’ve been carrying around yet trying to ignore for months now just bitch slapped me so hard. I want to cry. I really want to go home and change clothes, but unfortunately, I live 20+ miles away and have a presentation to give this morning. Lovely.

What’s weird is that I’ve gotten more male attention so far this morning than I’ve ever gotten in this building. I went downstairs to the cafeteria to get some coffee, and it was like every man wanted to talk or open the door for me or make a little cutesy remark to me. Or perhaps it’s only the men who like the junk in the trunk (AND the sidecar).

Well, whatever it is, I’m very self-conscious today. And very horrified. Ick.

Okay. I need to work now. I’ll be back, though. I have lots to say today.
