Sometimes mom's just have good advice, for instance, the never leave the house without clean underwear advice. I can't say as my mother ever personally imparted this wisdom to me but it is something you just always hear. Where am I going with this? Well...my story doesn't have so much to do with the clean part as it is about the thinking about what you wear.
Today as I was getting ready for work I decided to wear a new outfit I bought over the weekend, a cute new skirt and shirt with my black and white heels. As I was getting ready I looked in my underwear drawer and much to my dismay, I had only a few pairs swimming around in there. We were late getting all of our laundry done this week and some of mine was still in the laundry basket waiting to be folded and put away, downstairs. So, my choices were few. I finally decided on a mostly white pair with Miss Piggy on the front. Miss Piggy?!? Why do I have Miss Piggy underwear? Well...my mom got them for me from Wal-Mart as kind of a joke. (In case you are wondering I also have some care bear ones.) They seemed like the logical choice since they were mostly white and it wasn't like anyone was going to be seeing my underwear today anyway, right??
So, I got dressed and off to work I go. I decided to wear my sandals in to work and not mess with the heels until I got to my desk. It is a decent walk from my car to the building. Once safely at my desk I dawned the heels and it was a great morning. Everyone loved my outfit and thought my shoes were great, etc. I was feeling pretty good. :o) So, this afternoon it is time for me to go down to the mom's room and pump. I work on the 3rd floor and the mom's room is on the first floor. I had taken the stairs two other times today with no problems and I decided to just take them again. So off I go and as I round the corner going down from the 2nd floor I see someone else coming up. Apparently, it doesn't take long to lose your concentration in heels. I wish I could verbally re-enact this scene for you but you will just have to use your imagination. My foot got too close to the edge of the next step down and slipped off, my heel caught on the edge but my other foot was loose, and thankfully I was holding on to the railing. I flailed for the railing with my other arm as my other foot shot out from under me and I *gracefully* slid my booty down about 4 steps. Mind you, I am in a skirt. Needless to say, the skirt didn't stay down, and, thank goodness, it was another woman coming up. So there I was, hanging on to the railing and basically laid out on the stairs with my skirt up around my waist for the most part. And, there is Miss Piggy. I can't say for sure that she saw Miss Piggy, but, I am pretty sure she did. Thankfully, the writing was probably too small to read where underneath Miss Piggy it says "No Pictures Please." Seriously...could I make this up?? Of course, I quickly rammed my skirt down as far as possible and scrambled to my feet (as best as you can in heels!) She asked if I was okay and I managed to say I was fine and thank you for asking as I *carefully* continued on my way down the stairs. I guess she had a great story to tell when she got back to her desk about the girl sliding down the stairs in her Miss Piggy underwear. Geesh... I will spare you the picture of Miss Piggy but here is the outfit. Darn you heels!!
Alaina got a lot of compliments on her outfit today as well. I got her this at Gymboree this weekend. Awww - my little Lainey Bug!!
