Cooking in a Prom Dress / NOT Packing at 10pm

128/365:



9 times out of 10 I am very much a task-oriented go getter…
just ask my husband… he’ll most definitely authenticate the statement above…

but not today… nope.

this sometimes happens to me when my to-do list gets much too long for one day…

perhaps it happens to you too? ~
too much for you to get done before your next deadline, so—rather than doing what you can—you do something else entirely…

two empty suitcases sitting in the hall for you to pack, spin class’s to teach, a house to clean before you leave it for five days, calls to be made and bills that must be paid prior to you getting on your upcoming flight ~ yes?

have you found yourself cooking in an old prom dress instead? ~ …cough, cough …

for the record, I did start on task…
in fact, the very reason I dug out my old gowns in the first place, is because I planned to smoosh a few of those pretties into my suitcase and donate them to a program at my mom’s church in KC…
yes, this was all for a very good cause, I assure you…
but… when I held them up the fabric swished and swayed, the beads glittered…
hhmmm…
yes, I think I can still make this work ;)
sorta…

all that stuffing myself into a dress I wore ten years ago, sent me in search of a glass of water…

which led me to the fridge…
and once there, I thought to myself, “I’ll surprise the hubby and make him lunches/dinners while I’m away…”
which led me to stop with the prom dresses and start on the cooking…

so there I was in an old prom gown (that no longer fit quite right) taking pictures of the fridge—for this lil ole blog—completely oblivious to the time…
totally unaware that the garage door had opened and closed…
or that my husband had come walking into the kitchen…
let’s just say there was laughter over my attire…
and serious eyebrows when he saw what I was doing—namely taking a pictures of the inside of our fridge…
“Danielle, aren’t you supposed to be packing?”

this happens to you too, yes?

class got out early :)
RMG got canceled at the last minute :( / :)
the combination of the two meant that I was NOT packing tonight at 10pm…:)
