This post has been written for my friend, JulieBug, who has just recently been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Not long ago, she made a luminarie in my honor at Relay for Life. Yesterday, she underwent surgery and will begin treatments soon.
She wrote this on her blog, Another Chance Ranch.
I'd love for you to tell me funny stories! Something that is really gonna make me laugh !
While reading the comments on her post, Erika posted a story about THONGS THRONGS which reminded me of this photo and the following experience.
It happened during a time that might have been called my Midlife Crisis. During that time I was still teaching middle school rug rats. My Midlife Crisis lasted about five hours. That's about how long it took for my senses to come crashing back into my head.
Not sure what prompted me to think that a thong might help my self-esteem. It's been so long ago, I can't even remember where I bought that thing it. I'm sure the clerk had a good giggle after this 45+ year old walked out of the store with my purchase. I should have sensed something was wrong when noticing the price tag was larger than the garment.
The following morning my new thong was on me as I headed out for school and I felt years younger. It was a good kind of feeling, and not uncomforable . . . yet.
By the time I had walked from my car, up the stairs to my classroom, and sat down at my desk, it was apparent the purchase of my new thong might not have been a good investment. It was very apparent that I had made a mistake.
Lunch time could not happen soon enough. I'll not go into detail about what happened next, but it was my hope that no one went through the trash in the girls' restroom.
I had just experienced five hours of sheer torture.
So, if you're in the midst of a Midlife Crisis, here's a sure-fire cure for it: WEAR a THONG.
(Not sure this would work for Males Experiencing a Midlife Crisis.)
Reality will come blasting through to you in a short period of time.
The style shown on the gal above was not exactly the style I wore . . . Maybe my thong was on backwards because there was no "loin cloth" in the back. . . only dental floss.
H-m-m-m.
Maybe I'll go shopping today and try this again.
