dance, dance

Yesterday, oh it was a day.  I had a special moment over lunch wherein I realized that my pants were coming apart at the seams in the worst possible place.  Please note that this was the second time I had worn said pants, and unlike many of my clothes these days, these were loose on me (because I bought them to accommodate my less than ideal size until I remedy it).  And yet, they were just nicely splitting at the seam, and the split was beginning to travel up the back of the pants into visible territory.

I panicked, oh yes, I panicked.  I had no sweater or anything to tie around my waist.  I had no replacement clothes in my office.  I had visions of my pants just unraveling and falling off of me.  I borrowed a cardigan from a friend at work, tied it around my waist and made the mile trek to Gap to buy some new pants.  I found some cute ones that turned out to be on clearance, bought them, changed into them, and returned to work.  VOILA.  Day saved!  On a related note, the shoddily constructed pants will be going to get fixed, as I think a good, solid mending job will put them back on track to success.  I liked them because they are very lightweight for hot summer days!

Last night at home I had a good time.  I'm working to redirect my focus to being happier, appreciating the good things.  A random mood struck me later on in the evening, and my ipod was playing on the sound dock, and I took turns swooping up my two cats and dancing them around the living room with me.  Mostly I was laughing so hard at the absurdity of the whole scene that we didn't get much done, but it felt good to be ridiculous. 

Later on, the ridiculousness continued as I played Fruit Ninja on the Xbox Kinect, and did a trial of Just Dance 3 that I'd downloaded.  Um yeah, I'm going to buy that so I can more completely make a fool of myself in the comfort of my own living room.  Not only is it a damn hilarious way to spend some time, but it's a workout, too, and in my condition I can't turn away an opportunity for some cardio.  :-)

Because it was a good idea yesterday....

I love making a total, undeniable fool of myself on these Xbox Kinect games.  I love friendly strangers who open doors for you and smile in passing.  I love the smell of the perfume I'm wearing today.  I love how powerful I feel in heels.  I love Allegra for big bad allergy days like today, LOL.  I love watching silly tv shows that just make me laugh.  I love the friends I have who are good and true.  I love the month of June.  I love certain words like conundrum and deluge and tumultuous.  I love caring enough about my well-being to make a concerted effort to be happier, and to laugh until my stomach hurts over completely silly things.  :-)
