a beautiful day.

Today is a wonderful day. My puppy woke me up earlier than I wanted to get up but I would have only gotten 20 more minutes. And I'd much rather that she wake me up so she can go outside rather than having to clean up the mess later.

I put my hair up so I wouldn't scare the neighbors or any passerbys. We went outside and she did her business. When we came back in, I laid in bed a little bit longer thinking of what to wear. Finally, I tore myself from my bed and got ready for work. As I'm browsing through the closet, my fingers brushed a pair of jeans. The jeans. I stopped looking for work clothes and grabbed the hanger. I slid the jeans off the hanger, unfolded them, and looked at them. It had been years since the last time I wore them. Sometimes, I wondered why I kept them. I could have given them away so many years ago. But they were decently worn and at one point, they were my favorite jeans.

I knew I'd lost a little bit of weight lately so I just had to try them on. After all, they were my skinny jeans. I slipped my right leg in first and stepped through with ease. I smiled and slid my other leg in. Now the real challenge... could I get them over my thighs and would they zip up? It was a piece of cake to pull the jeans up. I buttoned and zipped them up with ease. I fit into my skinny jeans! I could hardly believe it. I ran to the mirror and looked at them. It had been years! I was wearing my skinny jeans and I even had a bit of room around the waist. I could hardly believe it. Today is a beautiful day.

I think I'll wear them to work on Friday.
