Don’t worry — I am wearing pants
I just visited the site of a new professional copywriter (BROOD), and she mentioned that her CEO is her cat named Ripley, and sometimes they take play breaks, where “neither of us are wearing pants.”
I’ve stopped buying my double Americanos at my favorite coffee shop, so I’ve been getting straight out of bed to work.
Here’s a description of my business attire today:
- Two socks I found together in the unmatched sock department in my clean laundry. Yes, that is the actual picture. Yes, that is a Santa Claus head.
- Hair in a ponytail… to be exact, I wet my hair (not washed) at the gym last night to go into the dry sauna. I put it into a pony tail. It’s still in the same ponytail, and it’s still damp, but most of it has escaped and is frizzy about my head and shoulders.
- A maroon tank top with a dried bit of cereal from breakfast. Really, it’s a small spot.
- Sweats that were big 20 pounds ago.
Ah, the life of a single woman who works from home.

Beth, *now* I understand why the woman in your logo has no feet — because she would be wearing mismatched socks! Or perhaps your designer felt the Santa head would distract from the overall image (which seems to capture your current look almost to a T)??

hey, you commented on my blog like 3 months ago…and then you went missing! haha, anyway I thought I’m swing by and leave you a comment. Mis-matched socks give me the hebejebes
but I prefer your outfit to my business suit anyday!

I found a pair at my house that looked just like those.

poetloverrebelspy, I work hard to maintain the perfect look of a freelance writer. It’s not as easy it looks.
songsinblue, isn’t it funny how people pop in once and say, “Wow, what a cool blog!” and then they disappear forever? Where have all the followers gone?
Note to readers, especially my mother: D.J. means he found a pair of socks at his house that look like mine. He’s not referring to my pants.

[...] some pretty significant information. Once they get here, they figure out pretty quickly that I dress strangely, have a fear of commitment and obsess about cupcakes. And ex-boyfriends know when I’m dating [...]
