Don’t Judge A Book By Its Cover. Unless It’s Cover Is Also Toilet Paper

July 27, 2010

in Awkward, Motherhood, WTH

email

It’s the old adage our parents and teachers like to bring up on occasions that we make assumptions about who a person is and what she is trying to accomplish. The saying is from the Bible or William Shakespeare or Sarah Palin or someone. (google it if you must. report back here IMMEDIATELY)

My favorite version of it is don’t judge my outsides by your insides.

Because here I am. Looking like a hot mama.

I even thought of you when I put on my underwear because I knew which of my friends would disapprove of my panty lines. (yes, i do find it awkward that i think of you when I put on underwear. maybe not as awkward as YOU find it.)

this is NOT my sexy face. it's more my desperate face

Because this sexy lady’s pages are desperately trying not to poop on the cover.

Thank you stomach virus for our life lesson of the week.

Thank you underwear for saving my dress.

Well, you look so damn cute and uncomfortable all at the same time that I love this pic! Sorry about the stomach flu…there is NOTHING worse than the stomach flu, I’m positive about that.

Okay, now I am feeling even more ugly and man-woman-ish, because even with a tummy bug, you are the cutest, most feminine little thing, ever. Please be my second spouse. Or at least my BFF

I concur with the cute dress assertions. I like.

As far as the VPLs go…I used to be all about the thongs. Pre baby. I’ve gone fully the other way…boyshorts. Those cover & avoid the multiple butt syndrome.

Now, I still have a few thongs, but they only get worn to get the Hub feisty. Or if I really have to do laundry.

The look on your face is priceless.
Hope you’re feeling better.

Ha! Thank goodness for underwear (can’t believe some of the commenters in your Panty Lines post said they go Commando – I wonder if they do that in dresses, too?)!

Sorry you’re sick. You do still look cute though. In a squeezing-your-butt-cheeks-together kind of way! ;-)

You are totally inspiring me to get a cute little dress. OK, maybe not little. But cute. And dress-ish.

Thanks hot mama! Hope you feel better.

Cute dress!
Do they have black ones in size buffalo?
I could totally rock that
OK, no I couldn’t
But you do, in pink and skinny…

I also think very strange things when I put on my underwear. Next time I’ll probably think of you- and I mean that in a totally NON-creepy-sexual way.

ps. I love your bangs. I’m getting some of those in one week. I can’t wait!

Down with the stomach flu. And top points for underwear doing a good job.

I love the dress.

Unless it was what made you sick. Then I only like it.

I googled Sarah Palin. SHE did not say it. Sorry your desperate look isn’t super sexy. BUT you do look like a model. Seriously. Look through a magazine.

You still look wonderful, stomach flu and all. I love the dress.

After four precipitous deliveries, I really don’t even need a stomach virus to worry about that.

“Don’t judge my outsides by your insides”–I love this.

You’re a cute little thing! Even after a virus!

Huh. Two (possibly related?) things I don’t have in common with you: skinny and stomach virus. And funny that I just blogged about both, too.
