My new motto: Allow yourself to run to the ladies room; however, always slow down when exiting!I was enjoying a rare moment when I escaped from my office to walk to the nearest Starbucks which was just a few blocks away for a "Venti Sugar Free Cinnamon Dolce Latte, with Soy – oh and hold the foam – please."
While I walked, I talked on my cell with my sister, Paula. And also as I walked, I waved and greeted the many familiar faces I encountered on both sides of the street. There were many 'out and about' since it was lunch-time in Denver.
About 3 blocks into my walk, and 10 minutes into my conversation, I had a meltdown. All along my walk, I had vaguely been aware of something ticklish behind my calves. I was bare-legged and wearing a skirt and high heels. Absently thinking it must be some bugs swarming, I kept swatting the back of my legs as I walked, all the while jabbering with my sis and waving and acknowledging those along the way. Finally came the realization of what was tickling me! I pulled and brought around to the front to view the LONG STREAM OF TOILET PAPER HANGING FROM BENEATH MY SKIRT! I sat down and proceeded with my meltdown with my sis still on the phone.
HOW COULD I MOVE? HOW COULD I SHOW MY FACE TO CO-WORKERS ENCOUNTERED ALONG THE WAY? I HAVE JUST LOST ALL CREDIBILITY IN THE BUSINESS WORLD! LORD, THIS ONE ISN’T FUNNY!
Advice coming from this incident: Always check your rear view mirror!
About a month ago, I was coming out of the ladies room, probably running AGAIN, and felt something not quite right with the weather in the hallway. I felt behind me, and sure enough, my skirt was tucked inside my underwear. (This time I was thankful I owned granny pants! – oh, I hope they were fairly new!) I pulled and un-tucked, whirled around and there was a male employee. As I looked at him, he covered his face and said, “I didn’t see anything!” And, I didn’t question ----"She is clothed with strenth and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come." Proverbs 31:25
