meetings, pants, and credit cards

It's 10am. So I was just on my way upstairs for a 10am meeting with a manager, and I'm halfway up the stairs when it occurs to me that I didn't see a reminder pop up on my computer. Was this meeting at 10? Or 11? Did I turn off the reminder and the meeting is now? Or have I for some reason completely convinced myself of the wrong time? All morning I have been gearing up for my 10am, my 10am. Then I find myself on the stairs in a complete befuddlement. So I went back downstairs and checked my computer. It's 11am.

So a few weeks ago I was, ahem, having a little rough and tumble with a boy. And in our roughing and tumbling he popped the button off my jeans. What was funny was that he immediately stopped and said, "Did I just break your pants?" Anyway, these are currently my favourite jeans, optic rinse cropped--but they have always been kind of complicated to get in and out of. First there is the aforementioned button. Then a zipper. THEN a snap off to the side. Used to jeans with only two-part access construction, I was at times frustrated with the extra step. But now, with the button gone, it's just a quick unsnap and unzip and I can pee! Or get undressed! Or get some! The possibilities are endless, obviously. So the morale of the story is: you never know what a little rough and tumble might get you.

Lastly, I'd like to give a shout-out to all the good people of the world. Like the waitress at Heaping Bowl, where I stupidly left my credit card last night. She is keeping it safe and sound until I pick it up this afternoon. She'd better not be dripping in fine jewelry and new clothes.
