Today was Day Two of GymQuest… and this time I even managed to wear two shoes from the same pair! Of course, I didn’t remember to check this until just before I left – but I did remember!

I came home and got ready for work. We left a little early so that I could get a Cinnabon from the mall for breakfast. :::bliss::: We went to the mall, I got a Cinnabon and a Mochalotta Chill. What?!? You expected me to eat the Cinnabon without a “refreshing beverage to wash it down?” (Thanks to Jules Winfield for that line.) As we were on the way to work, I didn’t dawdle and went straight back to the car. I opened the door, sat down… and then it happened.

I spilled part of my drink in my lap.
BRAINCRAMP

Yay. Let’s look at all the factors to consider here:

  • I was sitting in a car with a lapful of Mochalotta Chill.
  • I didn’t have anything to change into in the car.
  • We had :25 to get to work – no time to go back home and change.

That left me with two options:

  • Go to work with a stain in a highly-visible (and somewhat embarrassing) place or
  • Buy a new pair of jeans.

BRAINCRAMP

Actually, this was pretty much a no-brainer: I was at the mall, there was an Eddie Bauer, I like the cut and fit of their jeans, so I bought a new pair. I walked back into the mall – stain and all, walked into the store, found the style and color of jeans, and looked for my size…. which they didn’t have!!! And the clock was still ticking. *sigh* I chose a darker denim and looked for my size in those, which they had! I paid for the jeans and headed for the nearest changing room to make like Clark Kent. I changed and headed off to work, old jeans in the bag.

We made it to work with a little time to spare. And, like yesterday, the rest of my day was nowhere near as “interesting” as the early part of the day. But… if anyone knows where I can find a full-body bib, please let me know. Apparently, I need one to go along with my Garanimals shoes.
