I was walking with my wife in our neighborhood and had a t-shirt on which meant my curves were easily visible. This was the first time I hadn't worn multiple layers to try and keep things quiet since I still have to have The Talk with my kids. Since The Talk is coming up this Saturday I am trying to reduce the shock value by hiding less around the house, hence the t-shirt.
So as we are walking we see a neighbor up ahead and I naturally felt some fear and such. I asked my darling wife if perhaps we should cross to the other side of the street where it was shadier and I had a chance, slim albeit if somebody looked at me, of nothing happening. She looked at me and said simply, "Either piss or get off the pot." Coarse as it was it made me smile. Into the fray as it were and we went up the street.
Naturally the woman barely looked up from her gardening as she still chatted away like a m->-bleeped-<-ie to us. It wasn't noticed or cared about.
The happy for me here was the pseudo encouragement I got, the ambivalence of the neighbor and the hopeful anticipation that I'll be going full time soon.
Congrats also to Jessie. Good luck with the interview.
Shoes Raven are a big deal to being happy. If your feet are upset then you just won't have as much fun. Let me encourage you to get some Keds. They are cute too.
