Sometimes I like to pretend my life is a musical.
I twirl around the empty house and sing out the rhetorical questions that define the lives of middle-aged women everywhere like, "Why, oh why can't I find my fat jeans today?"
And then, if I'm feeling especially peppy, I will run to stage left (the other side of the room) and pretend I'm the voice of reason, singing in accusatory response, "It's because you wore them yesterday, you fool!"
The lights dim, leaving a spotlight on my tragic persona as I lament, "Perhaps I shouldn't have eaten chocolate cake for breakfast. Perhaps then - then I could wear my skinny jeans with that cute ruffly top today."
And...
scene.

Funny girl. How about if I have chocolate cake for breakfast this morning and we can wear our fat jeans together :) No, really, I'm having cake today.
There is a smile on my face and a gleam in my eye of both whimsical enjoyment of the entertainment this brings me, as well as the understanding I feel regarding it. You are...very funny.
You guys are awesome :)
