Someone Got Your Panties In a Bunch?

It happened this morning while stopped at a four way intersection on my way into the office.  As the light turned green I hesitated before hitting the gas.  I have no idea why.  Typically I behave like a 16 year old who’s just received her learners permit racing off like I’m a member of the Daytona 500. 

Ok, I'm no Jeff Gordon, but I can have a bit of a lead foot at times.  What made me hesitate?  Was it the fact that I hadn’t had my extra large cup of java at this point and was still in a bit of a stupor?  Perhaps the cosmic forces were reaching out to me with some sort of celestial warning?  Who knows?  It was at this moment when 2 cars whizzed through a red light right in front of me.  Had I stomped on the gas peddle as I normally do, I would have been demolished. 

I thought…huh…wow…just like that it all could have been over.  For a brief moment I was shaken.  Images of things I’d never done were racing through my head.  (I have a short bucket list that I’ve been checking off over time – more to come on that later.)  I’d never given in to the Keeper’s pleas for a skydiving excursion, never learned how to salsa properly, and never tasted Chinese food in China! My head was spinning. 

Today had already started out as “one of those days” before I’d even left the apartment.  The pup was acting like a maniac all morning crying and moaning to play.  My hair wasn’t co-operating, and even though all of my laundry had been laundered, I couldn’t find ANYTHING to wear!  I couldn’t even make a simple undergarment decision without weighing the pros and cons.  You see, I was really in a granny panty kinda mood, but was afraid that the panty line would be obvious in the jeans I’d finally picked out. This is a risk that I wasn’t willing to take. 

I suddenly heard Kelly Rippa’s voice ringing in my ears.  (Due to my late start -aka lingering in the house this morning, I was able to tune into Live with Regis and Kelly before I went to work.)  While partaking in her “host chat” segment with Regis….Kelly reported,

“Nudity can strike at any time!” 

Now how is this relevant?  Kelly went on to tell the audience that she was taught at a young age never to leave the house in underwear that you weren’t proud of.  This is something we’ve all heard from our parents at one time or another. 

She quipped, “God forbid I were to get into a car accident! If they’re gonna need to cut me out of my clothes, I wanna make sure that I’m presentable!”  Regis went on to explain that Kelly typically wears a thong.  What?!  Why Reeeg would be armed with this info, I have no idea and frankly don’t want to spend more time thinking about it –Ewwwwww!  

It’s funny how things come full circle.

Was I happy with my choice of knickers this A.M.?  Not particularly.  We all have those few pairs of undies that we’ve been hanging on to for ages -that feel good pair of comfy bottoms you can slip into on a bad day that make everything wong, right.  (The pair that you probably should get rid of, but just can’t seem to add them to the trash.)  Mine are a pair of cotton panties with little lolli-pops drawn on. Cute huh! I randomly purchased these bloomers while visiting the In-Laws in Oklahoma and have been in love since their very first wear. 

Frankly, I'm ashamed to admit that I haven’t been too thrilled with my underwear drawer at all as of late!  Now what kind of statement is that for a Newlywed to making?  (I wonder what the Keepers thoughts are on this!)  I feel a purge coming on!  Victoria Secret was kind enough to send me a birthday certificate in the mail just last week.  Maybe it’s time to put that bad boy to good use!  Lookout Keeper some new intimates are on the way! 



Just Kidding!! ;) ;)



Let's get real for a sec, when is the appropriate time to throw out underwear?  Do you toss them when their color fades?  When you notice holes?  When they get stretched out? 

How long do you hang on to your drawers?   -Discuss.
