Can I Get an AMEN!

So, I am sitting at my brother’s house in Grapevine waiting to go pick up my kids. I am really excited and ready to see them. They have been with their dad for a week now and I think that is just a bit too long . . . I am sure he thinks other wise.

So one of the girls in our office is moving and since I just completed a move I have a lot of boxes for her – yeah! I hate to waste anything. So I told her I would bring them to her at work. Well when I got home last night, I spoke to Kate (my next door neighbor) and she was telling me the low down on the other people in the neighborhood. The guy that lives door to her, I think Todd, is the social butterfly of the area. Apparently he is the person who knows EVERYONE. After getting all the details I had to run some errands. I came home and it was close to 9:30 and I hit the shower. And of course I think of packing boxes – by the way I have not put them in my car yet. So I throw on my PJ’s (and I am sorry to disappoint but they are shorts and a tank) and head out to the garage. As I am loading up the last of the boxes "Todd" comes out of his front door. It is like he has radar – he sees me and yells “Hello there” and begins heading my way. OMG! Now normally I am more than social and love to meet new people but I was so not in the mood or the clothes to be talking to anyone in the driveway. So I did what any good new neighbor would do – I ran like hell. I hit the garage door button and think I saw Todd’s sneakers just as the door met the ground.

I am not so vain as to not want people to see me without make-up or my hair drippin wet. But I do live by one rule – you NEVER and I mean NEVER leave the house without a bra. Which most people who know me probably don’t get it since I am not …. Well blessed in that way. But I was raised Southern Baptist and while they never mentioned that as one of the great sins (dancing, fornicating and apparently women having a job or an opinion) I am pretty sure that is why I have such a strong aversion to built in bra’s (which really don’t’ work) and the lack of bras altogether. So, I will have to make cookies or some other “forgive me” gift and take over – fully clothed.

Okay, that is it for now. I hope you all have a great Friday evening and I will blog you soon . . . Peace
