Y’all, I have been Busted (with a capital B!). Shari, if you are reading this, stop. If you continue to read, just know you did the best you could with what you had to work with and none of this is your fault.
Yesterday was the first day of fourth grade for Doodle. I actually got to do the car line which means no one saw me in my workout clothes — as I was to be at the gym at 11 am. After my workout, eating lunch and taking my shower, I pondered what to put on. I mean, here I have been detailing my recent fashion-related purchases, I should wear something new or look put together when I go to the school to pick up Doodle.
Laziness won out. I decided that there’s only one person who I know in real life that reads my blog — Amanda — and her daughter doesn’t go to school here any more. I honestly thought I’d be ok with my “old” clothes. No one would know. Nobody I see there knows about my new wardrobe or hair cut or makeup.
The first person I talk to is Leslie. She is one of the sweetest ladies I’ve ever had the privilege to talk to — she’s always put together and a great mother to 3 great kids. She’s also Amanda’s best friend. I remained calm as I reasoned that surely Leslie and Amanda have never discussed my blog much less Leslie reading it to know about my new wardrobe. But then this morning I get this email:
I bragged on how you got your hair done…. you started wearing light make up…. you got all these new clothes… sent Leslie to your blog to see some of the stuff (she NEVER reads blogs and has this weird thing against them… I know, weird)… then she says, “I saw Lisa.. she was wearing shorts, a oversize tshirt and I do not think she had on make up… She looked like our normal, sweet Lisa… not the “new, hot Lisa”…Alright… I WANT TO SEE THE HOT LISA SOON - so we will have to meet for lunch (somewhere I can take kids if it is in the next 5 weeks) so I can see the HOT Lisa.hee hee hee hee
Amanda was sweet enough to email me instead of rag me on my blog, but I’m nothing if not honest — I was busted. Yep, I was wearing an oversized ball tshirt and jean shorts — no makeup and if I remember correctly, my hair was pulled in a scrunchy.
Ok, there’s no getting around it now 
Mom and Dad even asked me where my new outfits were Friday when I went to dinner with them. Lazy. That’s my excuse. At least Friday I had the excuse that we’d just driven home from vacation so I’d been in the car practically all day long. Yesterday though, I did have time and I should have dressed a little more put together.
Maybe today — after I deliver a computer to a friend’s auto shop. I’m so not wearing heels there!

Yes, Yes!!! I want the new Hot Lisa too!!!!! I wish we had made you throw away all your old clothes like they do on the “What Not To Wear” TV show. Not that I’ve ever seen or watched that show
I love you anyway. Your GBH
Lisa,
As a fellow wash-n-wear gal, I’ve enjoyed reading about the new you. Today’s post made me LOL because I’m sure this would have been me. This morning I dropped my daughter off at her camp and I was still in my PJs with major bed head (Of course I didn’t have to get out of the car!). I think in some circles this would have been a fashion faux pas.
Blessings,
Kelli
Kelli Regan's last blog post..Nothing But Blue Screens Do I See
HOLY MOSES! We talked about you the entire way home today. YOU LOOK AMAZING… absolutely amazing.
Shari has perfected an already beautiful lady. I was amazed and inspired by you.
I had no idea the gorgeous figure you have been hiding since I met you four years ago… totally impressive… totally
amanda's last blog post..year round school
Hmmmm….when a post starts with “Shari, if you are reading this, Stop”, well, then, I couldn’t. Do I have to drive all the way to the other side of NC where you live to throw out all your old clothes? Cause I will, you know. LISA! I will seriously get a move on fixing up that list of “what to where with what” cause you obviously need “Garanimals”!!!! You are sooo busted….don’t make me drive over there!
