I have a cold.
This morning I woke up with crusty eyes and a boogery nose.
My stomach is sour from the drainage. My throat hurts and head aches.
Yet, instead of lying at home in sweats watching TLC and E!, I am at work wearing a black padded push-up bra. And a thong. Tight jeans and a low-cut blouse.
I’m a fluesy-floosy.
The outfit distracts from my Rudolph-red-nose but is really due to the fact that being sick and very busy, I’m WAY behind on doing laundry.
(Family? I should let you in on this little secret. I don’t actually hike down to ye ole’ river and beat our breeches and petticoats clean on stones. There are these two wonderful contraptions in the pantry that wash AND dry the clothes for me! Maybe you’all could give it a try?)
As the discomfort increases and my patience wanes I will likely be reduced to “pulling a PH” and will be walking around praying no undergarments fall out of my purse.
(Of course, if I combine my cold medicine with a little booze I probably wouldn’t care about the “exposure” and might even get to enjoy a “plethora.”)

Ollie,
Luckily my office is VERY casual. Like flip-flops in summer casual. And, sadly, my boss’s cleavage totally puts mine to shame!

I have a cold too. And I’m at work too. My thong is not really bothering me though….yet. My bra is. Pulling a PH, isn’t that a new wii game?

I like it, “Pulling a PH.” Too bad I couldn’t be the inspiration for a new skateboarding move. No . . . I have to inspire the name for the act of throwing your uncomfortable underwear around in public.

Just go commando: comfort, no worries about “pulling a PH” and a plethora of possible posts could result.

Ollie,
At least someone could get pleasure from my pain!
IDNKM,
Hmm… that’s not sounding real comfortable either….
BTW, it’s the 24th and I still have this damn cold! But I did manage to do laundry this weekend, so that’s good.

PS to last: on my trip to Austin (two weeks ago) it was 65-70 F. But I picked up a cold on the airplane ride down (&^^%$!!)
Oh, no push up bras or thongs for me; I didn’t pack either in my suitcase.
Still, cold or no cold, I got out there for a (slow) walk/jog to enjoy a snow free moment.
