My half-body mirror told me that I looked smashing today. I left the house with complete confidence, and I might even add, a bit of a bounce in my step. I decided that since tomorrow was going to be a scary day, I'd make today a great day. I even ironed my outfit and changed my earrings (which I hardly ever do...)

I got to work, thinking how great I look and I'm going to make darned well sure that everyone had an opportunity to view my great look. After a venti coffee and half of my 32 ounce bottle of water, it was time to visit the ladies room. There IS a full length mirror there. I always check myself out in that mirror to ensure I'm zipped, hair in place, etc.

Imagine my horror when the image in my head didn't match the image in the mirror. I was imagining that my top was covering my butt (which was covered by pants that were a little too snug.) It wasn't. There it was, my huge arse out there for the world to see. Worse, the pants are kind of a stretchy material, so it kind of hung on to all the little imperfections (aka cellulite).

I wanted to go home immediately. Of course, my day was just beginning so that was impossible. Worse, I had several meetings to attend. My sister had a great idea. Be the first to get there and the last to leave. I had a better idea... just keep my butt in my chair and roll it to all my meetings.

I guess it got my mind off of other stuff.
