Then as you are walking in to work you catch a glimpse of yourself in the semi-mirrored doors and something looks a little off? You walk in to the elevator with mirrored walls (why is everything at my work mirrored!!) and you look like you ate an entire humpback whale for breakfast even though all you really had was a bowl of Kashi cereal with soy milk and
Somehow you make it to the bathroom just to confirm that the elevator mirrors were really just fun house mirrors from the carnival...and you realize that you look like the female equivalent to the Elephant Man?
You take a deep breath, tell yourself you can do this, put your shoulders back, chest out and suck in your gut as far as you can because you know you have to make it past that guy's office that you work with that used to be a model and even though you think he's a major jack hole you don't want him to think Shamu just swam by his office?
PLEASE tell me you've had one of those days....and that it's not just me??
I think I need another cookie.
I *regularly* have these days. You are not alone! I'm so glad to hear that it's not just me lol
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you looked just fine.... but I am laughing hysterically! We all have those days, hahaha.
ReplyDeleteno, never had one of those days. what were you thinking? really..... kashi... and soy milk?
ReplyDeletemit
Ummmmm that was basically my whole life at work, remember? Then we would spend three hours planning lunch and dinner. It was great. Please pass the breakfast cookies!
ReplyDeleteOh Stacy, I have had so many of those days... Cookies for breakfast - heavenly.
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteJust yes.
*nods head vigorously*
Then I eat another cookie and break out into "I am beautifullllll, no mater what they say.....lalalalala"
Every day is one of those days for me! LOL! Stopping by from SITS!
ReplyDeleteYep, everyday! Apart from I find myself discovering a baby milk stain down my shoulder when I thought I'd left the house looking more yummy mummy than slummy mummy! Stopping by from SITS to say hi! Great blog!
ReplyDeleteI believe all women have had that kind of days! Mine is now :)
ReplyDeleteAnn, stopping by from SITS
Oh sweetie we all have those days. Just keep your chin up and if anyone says anything tell them your starting a new fad. :)
ReplyDeleteStopping by from SITS.
Stopping from SITS! I have them and my students used to tell me when I was having them.
ReplyDeletei've never had one of those days. i wake up looking like the hotness that i am. sizzle.
ReplyDeleteplus. it could be that i never look in a mirror. mirrors are big fat liars.
Basically every day was like that for me from the age of about 8 until the age of 20! Seriously, I have the pictures for backup :)
ReplyDeleteBut - knowing you, YOUR hair looked just fine!
Oh em gee, I swear that's my life to a T! I'm pathologically late :)

Remember the time I went to school after a spiffy new hair do and one of my students said I looked like Cruella de Ville? Or a different supposedly fine time another student said that I didn't even look like I had combed my hair that day? Such is life!
ReplyDelete*lol* I've definitely had one of those days!
ReplyDeleteSure have had them! I'm not quite sure why my "creative" outfit ideas seem perfectly fine at home and are horrifying once I arrive at work. I try to plan my outfits the night before as often as possible to avoid early morning rush tragedies. LOL.
ReplyDeleteOh dear. I think I would have hid in the corner. Good job on putting your shoulders back and going for it.
ReplyDeleteThat pretty much sums up most of my days!
ReplyDeleteLoved this post, now a follower from SITS!
happens to me. all the time!
ReplyDeleteYes that was me til I got those magic GHDs.
ReplyDeleteMagic I tell ya!
Happy SITS day!!
xxx
Boy, one of those days is every day for me! Not quite sure to make it not one of those days. LOL! Happy SITS Day to you!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Andrea
g'morning, SITStah,
ReplyDeleteYeah, we all have those days :D I think people get used to us and they don't notice when we're having an "off" day as much as we notice it.
I train in martial arts on a regular basis. One thing I've come to realize is that the guys in my class don't notice that I'm having a bad hair day unless I point it out to them.
That's probably true for all the other people I think are noticing my every flaw too. They only see what I direct their attention too.
I say just flash your biggest smile and sashay your "shamu-godess-ness" down the hall past the ex-model's doorway. He'll come out from behind his desk to see what's going on :D
Hold the phone! You mean to tell me that not every day is supposed to be like that? Ser, this is just supposed to be like the off day. Ahhhh man.
ReplyDeleteThose pesky mirrors. You walk out of the house , even if you have had all day to get dressed. thinking I look good....and then those mirrors show up and you say, I am skipping lunch again.
ReplyDeleteThats like my everyday, except the kids' leftover waffles instead of kashi, sweat pants instead of real clothes, and it's about 6pm when i remember i haven't brushed my hair AFTER running errands all day. So in comparison you really were goddess-y
ReplyDeleteIt is all in how you carry yourself. Those ratty curls might mean you hooked up with Hugh Laurie or something. Wait-I'm still on my fantasy from last night's HOUSE episode. Don't waste the single life being insecure. Rock those ratty curls and eat what you like-with health not your figure in mind!
ReplyDeleteScreaming w/ laughter... Happy SITS Day.
ReplyDelete0kay, love it! When I was working after I had my daughter, I always was having one of those days...Let's not forget the feeling of your heart and stomach switching places as you realize you are running late. Luckily, I worked in a doctor's office so we wore scrubs everyday, but I always felt like the grossness of me not showering or brushing my hair properly seeped through like toxic waste. Ick.
ReplyDeleteI'm sporting hair that hasn't been washed in 3 days as I read this. I thought it looked okay, but now I'm wondering . . .
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, I know about those days. I also don't like the days that I feel like I look amazing and I don't see anyone who matters. What a waste.
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS day!
Oh yes, that happens to me. But only on the days that I'm out in public and run into someone I haven't seen for years. Nice.
ReplyDeleteStopping in from SITS. Congrats on your SITS Day! Oh yes, I've had my share of those days. My stylist told me once that I should only wash my hair every other day and to just condition on the days i don't shampoo. Yeah, not working for me. It looked like someone attacked me with a grease gun and a brush!
ReplyDeleteHere's to good hair days (and cookies for breakfast!)
Story of my life, hehe.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your SITS Day! :D
Ha ha! Oh yes. We've all had those days, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness that is me TODAY!!!
ReplyDeleteI even have some left over eye liner on that makes me look like Courtney Love!
Stopping by from SITS - enjoy your day!
Oh, honey, it is not just you. Recently, I left the house under the delusion that my hair still looked fab from the night out before. I labored under said delusion until I casually ran my hand through my hair and it got stuck. It's really hard to look casual as you use both hands to extract yourself from your own rat's nest, taking a handful of hair with you.
ReplyDeleteDo you have long hair? A messy-ish bun/chignon (never have figured out the difference) is always a good option on those days.
Oh dear Lord, yes. More than once! Great blog-- congrats on your SITS day!
ReplyDeleteCome visit me too-- www.funnyisthenewyoung.com. I'll pour you a cup of coffee!

My youngest son use to have many days like this when he was in kindergarten. Seriously. Some mornings he just could not get his hair right.
ReplyDeleteCalling by from Italy to wish you congratulations on your SITS day.
ReplyDeletei think i have those days most every day! but what i really hate is when you are for real looking good and don't see anyone who matters all day! what a waste!
ReplyDeleteI think you can't be human if you haven't had one of these days!
ReplyDeleteOh and happy Sits day!
Happy SITS day! I have these moments on like a regular basis! ;) I hope youre having a great day!!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! I have one of those days at least once a week! I find that my fashion/hair judgment is a weeee bit off before my third cup of coffee. I usually get to work and nearly faint. Fix it, then pour more coffee.
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS day!!!
Happy SITS day! You've got a great sense of humor :) What you described sounds like what just about every gal has been through. Many just don't say it, but I totally know what you mean.
ReplyDeleteYes!!!! And when the rain comes.....
ReplyDeleteOh good, it's not just me! LO! Yes, I've totally been there!
ReplyDeleteOr when you wake up in your car, in the parking lot of the bar you were at the night before, and realize you're an hour late for work...uh, wait, just kidding, is this thing on????
ReplyDeleteLots of yummy love,

ReplyDeleteHappy SITS day!
Happy SITS day to you. I have to say that at this point my hair being braided at least 3 days a week is how I go these days.
ReplyDeleteJust joined SITS and I'm so happy I did. I teach 3rd and 4th grade. When I have one of those days I don't need a mirror, my students let me know.
ReplyDeleteHi Just stopping by from Sits.....Yes I have those days all the time! I am a hair stylist so I am in front of the mirror all day, not fun when those bad hair days or skin breakouts pop up! Those floresent lights tend to highlight what you don't want them to! ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat blog!
Never had one of those days with the hair. But, of course we've all had bad days! Once, I came in with two different shoes - good thing they were both black. I don't think anybody noticed though.
ReplyDeleteThat happens to me all the time! The girls I work with always look so cute & I just want to crawl under my desk and hide...I feel your pain!
ReplyDeleteOMFG! You said it, girl! I've SO been there!
ReplyDeleteSITS love!
This sounds like about every day of my life! It's never occurred to me that maybe there's something wrong with my bathroom mirror...
ReplyDeleteHappy day from SITS!
New to your blog, So cute! I have these days often.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it's not just me...
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS Feature Day!
is that like catching a glimpse of your rear-end in a mirror and realizing that those yoga pants are not your friend like you thought they were... only its 7 pm and you've worn them EVERYWHERE today?
ReplyDeleteif thats the same thing, then yes, I've been there too!!!
happy sits day, baby!
angie
I can definitely relate! I hate oversleeping! This post cracked me up:)
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS day!
Stoppin by from SITS...
ReplyDeleteAnd it's not just you. It's why either there is always a rubberband around the left wrist. :)
LOL several times a week when I worked. Now when I have one of those days, I just blame it on having to take a nap during the day.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from SITS.
I used to have days like that often when I worked. Now, when my hair looks like that I blame it on a nap.
