Oh Phooey

On this past Friday I was up early (believe it or not). I was checking my emails when I saw an article that said it was National Corduroy Day on 11.11.11 and everyone was supposed to wear corduroys - so I did. I have one pair of corduroys and they are one of my most favorite pair of pants. I purchased them in 1999 after I lost over 100 lbs. I remember how excited I was when I purchased them as I was excited that they fit, looked great and them made me feel slim. All these years later and I still have them but have definitely gone through periods in which they did and did not fit.

So I went to my draw and pulled them out and was excited that they fit and felt comfortable. I got some more weight loss to go but for me it was an amazing reminder of the work that I have accomplished so far.

Off to work I went in this outfit feeling very good about myself and happy. I looked around all day both in and outside of work and no one else had corduroys on! I started to feel I was the victim of a hoax. I did think it could be more because I live in Southern California but it has been chilly lately - I swear it has. I wondered perhaps if there were people out there taking pictures of video of the goofballs that actually wore corduroys that day - but I could not find anyone spying on me. Bottom line - I have no idea about this National Corduroy day thing - real or not real (although we all know that everything we read on the internet is true, right?) - but what I do know is that I looked good, felt proud and had an awesome day!

On Saturday I then saw that it was National Pizza Day and I thought to myself - that is a enough this BS - LOL
