It's going to be one of those days.

[saffronhare]

The ever-resourceful adammaker provided me with this lovely icon just in time. ::bunny kisses::

A few things have happened this morning that really set the tone for me. First, as I was walking into my office this morning, a pair of panties fell out the leg of my jeans. (They were clean, thank goodness, hapless hitchhikers from the load of laundry I pulled these jeans from today. But still. Tripping over my own panties is a bit of a shock, particularly since I'm not on the look-out for those sorts of things in the office.)

Second, I received an email from my Favorite Babysitter in the World, _francophile, saying that yes, she'd be delighted to watch the girls so agrnmn and I can both go to featherynscale's birthday party -- instead of having to draw straws like we have in years past. While I know this will please the Birthday Girl, I'd secretly been hoping to hide at home and avoid the Get Bent dress-up issue...particularly after the Vicars & Tarts Costume Miscalculation. But no. We'll both be there. ::eek::

I suppose if my day is to be filled with minor disasters, it's a blessing that they're at least mild-mannered and sort of funny.

Update: And now, there is a high-grade jelly doughnut in my hand, complements of the Boss Who Can Live. Most of the jelly is even making it to my mouth, so everything will be much better very soon.

I am jealous of your doughnut.

So am I... lousy coffee today.

Wait, are including spilling a drop as a *minor* disaster? Horrors!

See you tonight, bun bun.

Re: most of the jelly

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

I haven't spilled any -- I just haven't sucked it all out of the doughnut...yet. Gotta save a bit for that last bite, you know?

XO

Re: most of the jelly

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Ahhh. I thought the "most of it" was modifying "making it to your mouth", implying some of it went elsewhere...

Sorry. I'll clean that up.

Re: most of the jelly

[zylch.livejournal.com]

c'mon, man, even I've heard that she never spills a drop...

::Running away. Very, very quickly.::

I love the icon!
I love Turners at parties!
Also, do you happen to have a pair of black fuck-me shoes that I could borrow for this evening's revelry?

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

Er. I have the zip-up, lug-sole boots; a pair of conservative black pumps; and a pair of hi-heeled black boots. I don't think they're really "fuck me" shoes unless you're issuing a command of some sort....they're very, um, bossy shoes.

You might try breathofgold and see if she's willing to let you borrow those patent leather, buckley things she wore to Vicars & Tarts.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

I may need to borrow your shoes instead, but I can't remember if we have the same size foot, or if yours are smaller. Maybe I need to raid breathofgold's shoe rack as well...

On the other hand, I think I make a particularly hideous Catholic schoolgirl, so I may Get Bent in some other fashion tonight. Still up in the air...

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

Hideous is in the eye of the beholder, really. You're welcome to raid my shoes if necessary. I wear about a size 7 -- but I've also got a bag with some of C's shoes here. There's a kicky pink pair with butterflies on the toes that I'm thinking of wearing (but they're big on me, so I'd need to lean on somebody for most of the night, or else go ass over teakettle).

We all know...

...who's clothes you fit into. So, if I find you in the closet when I get home, I won't be asking why you don't have any clothes on and chaosdruid is giggling.

Just for the record

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

I'm filing that excuse away for future reference.

"I'm just in here looking for a bra!"

being contrary

[zylch.livejournal.com]

If I had any Pompeii chic I'd be wearing that, but as it is I'll probably just wear normal-for-me clothes. So you wouldn't be totally out of place doing that, either.

Re: being contrary

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

I don't think you'll fit in my pants (people keep telling me about your hips), but you're welcome to borrow anything from my closet that you'll fit into. A heavy metal t-shirt and a pair of shorts might be contrary enough...
