Hook Me Up

I’m havin a heck of a time concentrating today. Part of that is because I had a conference last week and it’s always hard for me to get back into work mode after that. Which really doesn’t make sense because I always feel so energized and motivated at conference – it kinda fuels my passion. But I think that’s part of it – I get so hyped up and so enthused and then I kinda have to contain it when I come back to the office.

I had a great time! It went by so fast!  It was close to home so I did the whole commute thing. That really stunk because I’m a social butterfly who likes to stay up all night and talk. Or dance. Or both. So I rolled in really late one night and then crashed with a dear friend the second. If you can call it crashing – it was really just a very short nap. But so much fun and so much love for what we do! I love my TRiO family!

And because I’m a fool without any shame, I ended the first night dressed up and looking ridiculous. Oh well, all for a good cause! For your amusement:

Look who looks 10 years old?

He thinks he's SO funny! Wait until next year buster!

The other reason I can’t concentrate is that I don’t feel real comfortable today. I know that sounds dramatic but I’m wearing a short dress. Well, it really isn’t short but it’s short for me – hits right above my knee. And that’s really short for me.

Not because I’m modest or anything – I just don’t have nice legs. Really, I don’t. I hate saying that because then people always feel compelled to tell you that you do indeed have nice legs. But the fact is, I don’t. And I have no problem with that – but I don’t generally showcase my worst feature.

But like I mentioned earlier, I have no shame so I'll showcase it to you. The legs:



That's a combination of poor genetics and too much McDonalds.

They look better in this picutre than they do in real life - trust me. And I would have taken another picture that more accurately reflected the unattractiveness of my legs but it was a one shot kind of deal. Have you ever tried to take a pictures of your own legs?

So when I threw this dress on I decided to wear some fun shoes. The shoes I love. But they may be a little too sassy and with the short dress because I’m feeling a bit hookerish.



The corset ties may be a bit too much...



Our campus is located very close to a military base and there are always military men sitting in the common area outside our office. Which I have to walk through to get to the bathroom. So today, each and every time I walk by I feel like a tramp staking her corner.

Tomorrow I’m wearing pants!
