So, I'll tell you all about camping tomorrow. But, right now I have to tell you how much I HATE returning to the grind after days off. HATE IT!
Mondays after days off always start bad because I have to go back to work and my husband doesn't (he works Tues-Sat). It really sucks being the ONLY one in the house that has to get up and get ready. So, needless to say, I dragged my feet and got to work 20 minutes late. Which wouldn't have been a big deal because my boss had a meeting offsite. Except for the fact that she came to work BEFORE the meeting! Lovely!
Then I have load upon load of work to catch up on. I spend all morning on that and still haven't caught up.
I decide to go shopping for a sundress at lunch. I really want something lightweight to wear since the temps around here have been at 110!
JCPenney happens to be having a big dress sale, so I go there. Find a bunch to try on knowing that 0.00003% will actually look decent. Put the first one on. It's ok, but a little tight. Go to take it off. Um, no. It won't come off! The zipper has broken! I try over my head (can't get it up to my shoulders), I try pulling it down (can't get it past my hips), I try praying, I try pulling, stretching, pleading. By this time, I'm red in the face and sweating. I don't know what to do. There is no dressing room attendant. Actually, there is no worker in sight.
So, I decide to check my embarrassment at the changing room door. I mean seriously, everyone has had to be cut out of a dress before, right? Right? I put my shirt on and go traipsing through the store with the dress on my lower half. I explain what happened to the sales lady. She is very understanding and fetches some scissors to cut my huge ass lovely rear out of the dress. I quickly try the rest of them on, telling her not to go far because it'll probably happen again. Luckily, it doesn't. I find two I like and purchase them.
I run back to work, only to find that I'm again 15 minutes late!
Happy Freakin Monday!
WOW girl....that certainly does sound like a craptastic monday! :( I hope it gets better soon!

Okay...so first...welcome back. Glad to see that you survived the whole camping thing. Looking forward to a "report"!!
And...now...I just wanted you to know that it doesn't make me any less of a friend because I chuckled at your "dressing room misfortune"...I just remember having horrors of that very thing happening (but with a skirt) at Old Navy a couple of years ago!!! You are a brave woman for sharing that with us. Thanks! and thanks for the giggle too!!
(did you have to buy the dress or did the store just write if off?)
Glad you're back!!!

Glad to see you are back and in one piece. I have gotten stuck in a top before like that....I actually ripped it when I took it off...I hung it back up and left the store asap. Make sure to posts pics of you in your new dresses.
