Schlub

I've been a total schlub and I really, really hope that's not a bad word!

I can't seem to find the motivation to do anything. It's like after the light was hung and my shirt was boiled, I lost the will to do anything. Oh sure, I come to work, but I'm in a mildly comatose state. I haven't cooked dinner in two days. I am a horrible wife to be!

First my excuse was the Reverse Valentine's and frankly, I've never come up with a more brilliant idea. I can totally say that was non-schlub-like behavior. But then yesterday I got home and I just - sort of - laid there.

I blame this on my new fleece PJ pants. What had happened WUZ- I went to Steinmart yesterday for lunch, because HELLO my bridal shower in Dallas is this weekend and I MUST LOOK FABULOUS. (Even more so than normal and that is a HARD thing to accomplish) So I went there and they had all of their fleece PJ sets on sale for- SHUT UP- $12. YES. So I found a set and yeah, ok, they have Christmas trees on them, but really, the only time it's cold in Houston is Christmas and about 6 -8 weeks afterwards- we don't have those freak snowstorms in April 'round here. So I figure I can stretch the No Christmas Wear rules out another two months. They are SO comfortable- this isn't cheapie, yucky, dies in the washing machine fleece- this is laying around comatose because they are so super comfy fleece. I am in love!

Conrad had to go out in the fridgid 65 degree weather and forage us up some food, which I mean come on, he is the HUNTER of the family- so it wasn't that big of a deal, but I did feel guilty. HOWEVER I did help drag the trash and remnants of the hair-burning light to the curb AND I hung up a new cross I bought -cause we love JC and we advertise it, dad gum it!!!! ... and I uh- watched the Oprah I had TIVO'd and then passed out. Very productive evening!

I am hoping tonight I am more acclamated to my pants and I can at least walk into the kitchen and make some food. Also, one lucky blog reader is going to score some of the same pants! I picked up some for a Christmas present for this year coming up. I mean, $12- come on! So I got another pair and I know who I am giving them too and I apologize in advance if this tears your family apart next year- because you can't get off the couch, but I'm doing it because I love you. Many of my dear readers I know ARE also fleece PJ schlubs. I can think of at least... counting.... 4 maybe 5 of you..... and sadly, only one of you will have these pants... because even though it was only $12 I am not made of money, people!

I will announce the winner of this illustrious prize on December 26th- of next year, because I can't announce it NOW and ruin the surprise! Mark your calendars!!!!

P.S. and OMG, I forgot to tell you. There is Chico's next to the Steinmart mere miles from my work. IT IS A CLEARANCE CHICO'S. I was in heaven. I didn't find my black shirt like the one I repaired, but I found a $52 necklace on sale for $13 and let me just tell you, I make this necklace look gooooooooood, I am wearing to today. It is very dangerous for me to 1) have even found out there is such a thing as Chico's clearance and 2) be really really really near one. Ya'll pray for me.
