The Gramma in Gramma pannies reminds of the old joke where Grandpa shouts at Gramma to "iron her nightgown". She shouts back "I ain't wearin one".....
The visual makes me cringe and even spit up in mouth a little. Thanks for sharin. Great post! Thansk for stopping by my blog today too :)

That was hysterical! Until I remembered that I am on that damn slope! How the hell did that happen?

Oh, you ought to see me in my really old, horrible...

Oh, you ought to see me in my really old, horrible black Crocs (which I love) and retro hole-ridden T shirt (circa 1970, advertising a trunk rental place, which I also love)and terrible old jeans! My mother would be so,so horrified and wonder what she did wrong.

I have almost the exact same pajama pants except that the stars are, um, non-shooting :)

I must have been one of the three followers you had then. Haha...I love this story though. It makes me want to go change out of my pjs and put some makeup on....ah, maybe tomorrow I will. :)

What!? I've done it, and I'll do it again ...

2009-10-13T09:50:13.245-04:00

What!? I've done it, and I'll do it again too! LOL

The thing is.. the older you get the less you give a rat's ass what people think of you.

I call it progress! LOL

Elizabeth, I hear you...

Mary, you're totally right and what I aspire too... and you'll never be getting a visit from my grandma in her under pants!

Lynette, yeah bras, right? ow

mama-face - Ohhhh, see she filled the bag with hot water and wasnt wearing clothes because they would get wet, right?

And the freezer wasnt frostless so it had this ice build up in there....so she squirted the hot water out the enema bag nozzle into the iced up freezer (grossest thing ever, right?) to melt the caked up ice...

Horrific afternoon. Seriously. Ruined everything for me, including the fact that I could no longer eat maple walnut ice cream from a freezer that was being deiced by an enema bag

There are sunglasses to cover the day before makeup as you drive in your pj's. Once I drove my daughter to school during a snowstorm (in my pj's of course)-not even a coat-and I almost became stuck in the snow. My only concern was someone coming to help me and seeing me without a bra. ETC. Luckily I had my 4-wheel drive.

The grandma story; LOLOLOLOL. (could you maybe write a post explaining how you defrost a freezer with an enema bag? Is it obvious and i'm just too clueless?)

oh dang i have lost it then i run around in my work out outfits all day long
have not worn makeup in forever
and let's not get into the fact i hate to wear a bra...but i do heck i am in a workout outfit ya know

You know, that has always been one of my pet peeve...

2009-10-13T08:57:48.640-04:00

You know, that has always been one of my pet peeves. Why can't people just put on clothes when leaving the house? It doesn't have to be fancy, jeans are fine. But clothes and shoes are sooo necessary. And it annoys me when I see people in public wearing pajama pants and flip flops. (Yes, I know it's judgemental and unreasonable. But aren't ALL pet peeves judgemental and unreasonable? lol.)

Right before my daughter was born, the doctor told me to bring PJ pants to the hospital. I had never owned PJ pants and had to buy some. Or even sweat pants. I had a couple pairs of wind pants for working out in (and never wore them anywhere except to the gym). I have never worn sweatpants or workout pants into public. Or even tennis shoes.

I mean, I'm not a saint. I don't necessarily dress up (okay, I pretty much only dress up for church), but I wear jeans/pants and boots. I always wear mascara too. (Not because it bothers me when people don't wear mascara but because my eyes look squinty without it and when you have chubby cheeks you should really try to avoid squinty eyes.)

Anyway, my whole point is that if you look decent and pulled together, then you will act that way. Even when I'm just staying home, I still take a shower and get dressed because the only way I can accomplish anything is to look the part. lol.

Great post - I love it!

Hugs and kisses,
Mary

That was hilarious. I totally know what you mean about the slippery slope of acceptable public appearance when you're a mom. My kiddo is 20 months old and doesn't really tolerate spending time in the bathroom, so my primping time has shrunk to pretty much none since he's all of a sudden decided to have opinions! Thanks for the laugh this morning, and thanks for visiting my site, too!
