Why must you dress so badly? Are we seriously a city where it is acceptable to run around in Fruit of the Loom sweatpants and sport flip flops for every errand we must run? I am all for a lazy day here and there but to always look like you have the flu and must run out to grab some OJ is a tad extreme! And the pajama pants in public! Can't we even get dressed?
Since when did denim jeans become too dressy for the weekend? Heaven forbid a casual skirt or Dockers slacks be worn anywhere but work. Don't we care enough about ourselves to get dressed before going out on errands for the day?
I remember when a night on the town in Kansas City had everyone looking sharp. Anymore if I wear slacks and heels to an evening comedy show I stick out in the crowd as badly as if I were wearing a formal to a movie theater. What's the deal Kansas City? Show us you love yourselves! Show us some character! Leave the frumpy sweats at home!
While I was sitting in a lunch meeting today, I got the inspiration to gripe. So here I am, thumb typing away during a meeting pretending to take notes but instead writing a blog post. What passion could I possibly experience during a meeting you ask? Eating habits.
I could not redirect my attention from a vendor sitting directly in my line of sight at the conference table. Watching her take each bite was like staring at an accident...I was grossed out but couldn't stop watching. Each bite she took of her chicken salad she puckered her lips into an *O* then stuck her tongue out to meet the fork still 1/2 inch or more from her mouth. I felt like I was watching a bug feeding habits documentary on the Discovery Channel complete with some guy narrating in my head.
The luncheon left me wondering where she learned to eat like this? Did her parent's do this? Does she have dental issues causing her to attempt to suck up her food with her tongue? Perhaps it is an attempt to save her lipstick? Maybe I will start Googling when I get back to my desk... or maybe I need to start paying attention to meeting contents rather than bug people.
Show us a happy memory.

Makes me look monstrous during my smoke break at work. Ew.
