Rainbow Brite Lady of the Night

I was reading yet another one of my favorite blogs where she's talking about her clothing choices for taking her boyfriend to work early in the morning. 

That particular day she was wearing pink shorts, a sports bra and a hoodie. Under the pink shorts she was wearing PURPLE chonies. Which were very visible under her pink shorts. haha. 

Anyways, it made me look down to see what I was wearing.

See, nighties don't do for walking around the house when you have children.

And I can't get myself to spend money on something I'm gonna wear to SLEEP in.

Therfore, I don't own pajamas.

Well, ok I do. They are hand-me-downs from my daughter and SHE owned them when she was in the 5th grade.

So anyways, usually when I get ready for bed I just find anything comfy and put it on. Whether it matches or not.

Today I am wearing an orange shirt and black velour pants. Not too bad.

One day I put on a pair of my hubby's basketball shorts, one of my son's tshirts, and my daughters Rainbow Brite long socks to use sort of as slippers.

We have pebble-tech flooring, see. So walking around the house in the wintertime is very cold unless you have slippers or socks on.

Anyways... the next day was a lazy day. So I got up, made breakfast, loafed around the house, went down the street to pick up the mail, etc.

Then one of my daughter's friends came over. I didn't think anything of my attire until at one point they both looked at me and started giggling.

"WHAT?" I said.

"OMG MOM! Look at what you're wearing! You look like Rainbow Brite on drugs!" My daughter laughed.

"WHY?" I responded. Still confused at what the big deal was.

"I LOVE IT! Striped socks, over sized shorts? Awesome! Dude! Your mom is cool!" her friend looked impressed at my lack of regard for fashion and style.  

I looked down and finally realized that I looked like a Rainbow Brite Lady of the Night. On crack.

Sorta like the Flava Flave Rainbow Brite.

The Cindy Lauper Rainbow Brite.

 Or How 'bout the Whitney Houston Rainbow Brite.

 

 "Crack is Wack!"

I wish I could tell you I've toned it down some. But I really haven't.

The good news is, aparently I'm in good company when it comes to my fashion choices(or lack thereof).

So anyways, what do you wear to sleep or around the house that might be a little embarrassing (if you cared what people thought about you, which of course, you don't?)

ALLRIGHT!!  WHO'S REPEATING WHAT I'M SAYING???

 Aaaaay Caramba dude!!  Now you're telling me you're an Eastern European Woman???   You know, the only picture I've seen of you is the one I see above and that's a Bato but you confuse me when you talk about taking off your bra and being a European woman but that's okay, you can be who you want to be.  As you noticed, I changed my profile too...... to feel more "agusto" when talking to you,  for the new profile above is the real me.  I also see that Suzy changed hers too.  WoW!!  She looks like a very sophisticated "teacher" type of a Mom.  That's a compliment, my dear!!

Orale Bato!!  No problema!!   Pero,  the only picture I've seen is the one I keep seeing above.  As you noticed I changed my profile picture to show my television profile.  I see that Suzy also wanted to show her profille and she looks like a very sophisticated "school teacher" type of a mom!  That's a compliment!!  As for you Dude, now you're saying you're a handsome European woman. Aaaaaay Caraaaaay  Duuuuuuuude, you scare me!!

 Aaay Caramba Suzy.  Yo entiendo!!  I'm sure we've all been caught in compromising positions at one time or another in our lives!!  I could tell you a few stories but I'd better not!  lol

To Joe:  They were still in bed and I thought no one was around!  I was gonna change before they got up.  Plus, I'd forgotten about the hole until he came in and I was in that position.  But, I am more careful when I have company.

 Dang Suzy, you got to be more careful.  You don't think he noticed?  Come on he's a man!  He just turned his head like I would have if it would had been me!!  Out of respect, you know!!

 Okay, I'm sorry, well, when you said you took off your bra, I assumed you had something under there you wanted to let out and hang loose,  so I honestly thought you were a woman but your cartoon face told me you were something else....just another dude.  As for me, I call them "Pecks" and I don't wear a bra like you dude!!   Oh dude!!  By the way....what's your bra size?....not that it matters you know!  I just thought if you were around for Christmas, it would be a nice gift!  What color do you like??

The manzeer and the bro.  I love that episode.

I just remembered a couple of embarrassing moments when dressed in my very casual and weird clothes while at home. 

One time my daughter and son-in-law were visiting.  I'd showered and put on my favorite old flannel plaid PJ bottoms, sans undies.  I'd worn the heck out of them but Ioved them.  I was fixing breakfast and needed a pan that was waaaaaaaay back on the bottom shelf so I got down on all fours with my butt in the air as I fished around for it.  My son-in-law walked in to get something out of the fridge while I was in that position.  That wasn't so embarrassing until I remembered that my PJ's had a BIG HOLE IN THE CROTCH!!   I went into the bathroom and got in the same position and felt around to get an idea if he could have seen anything and I determined that yes, he could have.  I was mortified!   I told my daughter what may have happened and she laughed and laughed.  Then she asked him if he noticed!!!!!!!!   She asked him! What happened to honoring thy mother? Grrrrr!  She told me that he didn't but to this day I still wonder. 

Then there's the time that a friend called to tell me he'd left something in my mailbox for my 40-somethingth birthday.  It was morning and I had hot curlers in my hair and was wearing the same plaid PJ bottoms (red/green/blue) with my old pink robe and some house shoes that looked like something Sasquatch might wear.  Oh, and my reading glasses.  I went to the mailbox and there was a stuffed monkey that had a sign on it that said "Squeeze me."  So I did. This loud wolf whistle goes off.  I mean loud and long.  I turned around and came face to face with a man walking his dogs.  A nice looking man about my age with no wedding ring (I'd noticed him before).  Anyway, I was so embarrassed that all I managed was to mumble something like "My friend left this in the mailbox for my birthday, hehehe."  He didn't even say anything and just barely smiled.  I guess I must have looked pretty scary.  Come to think of it, I haven't seen him walking his dogs by my house for quite some time.

I ain't hatin'

Everybody I know has them. LOL I think they come with age. And lots of chicharrones.

hahhaah... You have Moobs? LOL Kidding. This thread is turning out to be fun. Joe doesn't have Peter Pan complex.. he just got confused like I did at first. Well, I mean, I figured:

1. he's kidding.

2. he's actually a she... but more than likely he's kidding.

Awesome! I love it. It's like the Seinfeld episode where Kramer and George's father were going into business selling the Manzeer for their moobs. (man boobs) tee hee.

Duuuuuuuude!!  Are you a dude or a dudette???

 Sigh!!!

I live alone and when I get home from work the bra comes off and I get comfy.  I lounge around in and sleep in a mens white sleeveless tank top style undershirt (wife beater shirt as a friend refers to them).  I usually wear a pair of pj bottoms or just my undies.  This causes a problem when I want to go outside to get mail or water the plants.  I will agonize over what to wear over the tank top or on the bottom.  Rather than just put on something decent, I'll wear a sweatshirt and keep the pj bottoms on.  Or I'll put my bra back on and some workout pants. I go to the mailbox at a run, looking left and right like a spy, or a criminal.  This has become such a problem that I went to WalMart recently and bought a cotton summer dress that I'd never wear in public but it will do for lounging and going to the front yard without looking like the neighborhood kook.  I hope it's not too late.
