Like a Baby in a Bodysuit

Okay guys, it’s no secret that bodysuits have been making a huge comeback the last few years… Like a lot of people, I was super skeptical at first. I mean, weird unnecessary crotch fabric? Snaps down there? What is this, I’m basically a grown-up baby in a onesie! But slowly, as more and more people started integrating them into their wardrobes, I began to understand the appeal of bodysuits. And that is how we have arrived at this very moment: me, typing a blog post about these bizarre, baby-like pieces of clothing, for all of you to read. Enjoy!

Maybe you spill mustard all over your favorite white blouse (and know it’s going to stain). Maybe you get a bad grade on that big assignment you were worried about. Maybe people in your group project or at work are lazy bums who never do anything but take all the credit. OR MAYBE you go out of your way to do something nice for someone else (i.e. wait extra long to hold the door open) and they don’t even say thank you! (Talk about my pet peeve!!). Let me tell ya’, I have had some frustrating moments these past two days. BUT that’s all they should’ve been—just moments. Far too often I let one little annoying thing ruin my whole day and you know what? I’m done with it! It’s just plain wasteful. Continue reading “24 Hours in a Day and Only One to Be Upset”
