I knew the day was coming close and I could feel my anxiety level rising. I woke up feeling extremely warm and knew that I wasn’t having a hot flash, at least not this time. Summer has arrived in Southern Nevada.
I took a deep breath and headed into my closet. And there they hung, “my shorts,” taunting me from the rack. “Would they fit, zip and still fit across my ass,” I was truly nervous. I saw the scale in the closet but didn’t dare climb on it, that could put me in a depression all day. I slipped on a pair that were a little loose on me last year. I must have really over dried them before I put them away because honestly, they did seem a little smaller. I did that low dipping squat that all women “instinctively know” that stretches our pants a little bit in the hips and thighs. The shorts now fit, thank God!
There was a ray of sunlight that hit my lower leg and I saw all the fur that had grown over the winter. I gasped in horror, I mean I can’t go out of the house looking like a caveman. This shit was so long I heard myself humming a Bob Marley tune and thought of spinning out some dreadlocks on my legs. And the toe hair, where the he’ll did that come from, just kidding.
I’m happy to report that it’s safe for me to leave the house again. I hope all you ladies have an easy transition into the summer season. Sometimes the “maintenance” is just too much, right?
whaa…I want to wear shorts damn it! It was snowing here today, my tan from vacation is fading fast. My legs are shaved, my shorts fit, I am ready!!!!Enjoy the heat or we can house trade for a week!
lmao @ caveman and humming bob marley tunes love ya and miss ya hope too see u sooon Shelley
I’ve given up on last years shorts and just went out and bought some new ones. I’m told that there are sizes all the way up to 50 available. I’m just at size 42 right now, still plenty of room to grow.
Sandra, don’t you know that when spring arrives the first thing we do is go shopping. We all get new Easter Outfits because Easter is the Sign of Starting all new for another season. So just go and donate those old shorts to a church or a womens shelter and buy your self some new ones that are in style for this year.AND DO NOT FEEL GUILTY ABOUT IT! Think about some poor woman down and out and she dosn’t buy for herself, she buys for her kids.Now you’ve done your Easter duty. Love ABL
Been there done that, ain’t that a bitch how those clothes shrink in the closet. Really liked Bettie Lou’s idea, it’s Spring lets buy new. I can’t wait for some nice warm weather, still in long pants and sweatshirts and the heat is on.
Hi Sandy! ~ It’s crazy!! My shorts shrunk over the winter, too!! I’m scared to think what my bathing suit did!!! It probably turned into a thong, God forbid!! ((HUGS))
And the summer’s here too….but it’s one of those really hot and humid one which makes you swear…oh yeah, it’s summer time…:)
LOL @ Williams comment. Awesome.
Funny stuff – love the instinctive low dip move… had to do it myself the other day to squeeze into jeans for work. 🙂
The visual of dreadlocks on my legs had me laughing to tears!!
