It's a good day

The sun was out this morning when I left for work. A first in several, here in the windy city = cause for celebration!

Right now the best part of my day is pulling together a just right outfit at the last minute because the one I originally envisioned just was not working. A change of cardigan and a different pair of shoes makes all the difference between “I put clothes on this morning” and “put together”. Has that ever happened to you? Momentary panic of “I need to be running out the door 30 seconds ago and I still have to find something to wear. Why isn’t this outfit working in real life??” to “Sigh. Boom baby! Let’s rock this”. Especially when the "boom baby" outfit is not flashy, but classic, comfortable and makes people think you put no effort at all into it. Holla! ( I do recognize this can come across as trivial and shallow - probably true. But feeling comfortable and appropriate in what you have on makes a big difference, at least for me.)

Second best part of my day, inching up to first, would be the free bagels in the break room this morning. I say bagels plural because I may have wrapped one up to go with my soup at lunch. No shame.

And third best, the piping hot coffee that will keep me going all day long. Es magnifique!


May I also add that I heard my boss sing g-l-a-m-o-r-o-u-s in the break room this morning?! Top that!
