Real Life

I like to write on here about real life. I feel like a lot of blogs, and even posts here on Ruby Tuesday, tend to show the nice side of life, where everything looks good, the lighting is just right, and I've proofread everything before hitting 'publish'. But some days, real life just takes over, and sometimes I just need to LET IT take over. This happens a lot on Mondays. Mondays are just real. 


Sometimes you are a few feet from walking into the office, when you magically trip over your own sandal, and spill your delicious cappuccino down the front of your dress. That's real life. Frantically trying to rinse out the front of your dress in the office bathroom is also real life.

Sometimes you freak out for no reason, and feel dumb about it five minutes later. That's real life, too.

Sometimes you get up early on a Saturday morning and take the dog out wearing your husband's Harrison High School t-shirt and a pair over-sized American flag pajama pants with a pair of Birkenstocks, and tell yourself nobody will see you because it's early.

Sometimes you run out of the bathroom at work before getting a few steps and realizing that the back of your dress is stuck in the back of your underwear. In that moment, you're really glad nobody else is in the office.

Sometimes you stress out because you just realized that you've lived in Atlanta for almost 7 years, and you don't have as many friends as you thought you would by now. Then you read an article like this, and you don't feel so lame. Seriously. Real life.

What happened to you today that was a real life moment? We all have em' - might as well be in it together!
