Oh Happy Day!

I woke up with grand aspirations for my hair…I had envisioned loose, piecey-style Kate Hudson curls but for some reason my hair wasn’t holding the waves quite as I had hoped and long story short, I ended up putting my hair in two nice barrettes…a little early 80’s Facts-of-Life boarding school WASP meets Courtney Love look. This was truly a renaissance of hair do.

So, with my hair baretted up I need to find an appropriate outfit that would compliment the look that I had inadvertently cultivated for myself this morning, which meant a pleated skirt of some sort, a cardigan and nice pumps. I was seeing Muffy from Square Pegs style in my mind meets doll parts. As seems to be par for the course, I ended up leaving the house in a full khaki pleated skirt, aqua tank and orange flowered cardigan and 3 ½ inch peep toes brown leather pumps. Upon looking in the mirror, I realized that all likeness to Muffy was lost except for the hair…which did not quite fit my overall ensemble. Anyhoo, I now look like a generationally challenged dresser appearing to the masses of Orange County as cross between a desperate housewife and a square peg.

Because it took me one hour and 15 minutes to get ready for work this morning, and the fact that when I started my car I realized that I had no gas, there was no time to grab breakfast…which for all intents and purposes would be a good thing because its not like I needed to grab a muffin from Henry’s anyway, but as is usually the case, I fretted over when/what I could have for breakfast the entire way to work. I willed the lights to all turn green upon my the sight of my car so I would be able to get to work on time and be able to fix an English muffin or something similar from the kitchen. To my delight, not only did the lights turn green, but when I arrived to work (5 minutes late) there was a mountain of donuts and bagels on the kitchen table! Now, of course I went for the bagel because they are less fattening, but my favorite little waxy chocolate donuts were staring me down, pleading to be eaten…little devils covered in milk chocolate. I rose above the temptation and ate a delicious bagel and now because I am satisfied from within, I can look beyond my outward gardenparty/boarding school/housewife/rockstar stuck in a revolving 1984/2008 time warp and can just be grateful for the little things in life, like bagels!

Here is some art to compliment my blog...just so you get a better idea as to what I am talking about.
