Dudeikindofdig is coming over to my apartment after work! Must make sure I prepare accordingly before heading to the office, so as to avoid being caught unawares, sporting unkempt hair and an unflattering outfit. Cue: Clueless scene where Cher carefully preps for Christian’s arrival. (Note to self: Next time pick a different movie moment to look to for inspiration. Preferably one that doesn’t end in him being gay and her saying, “I don’t get it.”)

Winning ensemble:
Hair carefully spiral-curled. Sheer, black & white polka dot blouse (with a cami underneath for reasons of work appropriateness). Black, frilly skirt. 60’s cat-eye liner and red lips. (Pencil, not lipstick, for reasons of the hopefully-there-will-be-a-stellar-makeout-sesh variety.)
After work, I have 30 minutes for any touch-ups. One of these touch-ups involves removing the conservative cami to reveal a black lace bralette beneath the sheer blouse.
Scandalous.
Dudeikindofdig comes over. I proceed to behave in a (un)characteristically shy and awkward manner. Because I’m five. We have a lovely floor picnic, as I still have not managed to purchase a kitchen table. #beverlyhillbilly
Mid-picnic, dudeikindofdig asks, “Is that what you wore to work today?”
Fair question. There are two possible answers.
Conundrum.
Answer A:
"Yep! Well, minus a tank top - I’m not going to walk around the office like a ho."
Translation: “I knew you were coming over, so I started removing my clothing.”
Awkward.
Answer B:
Yep!
Translation: I am the office whore.
Obviously, I went with Answer B. You know, to avoid any awkwardness.

I’ll be back after I go feed my cats.
