Yeah, I been away for a while. I’m sorry I’m sure but it’s really been a weird few weeks and blogging has not been uppermost in my mind.
Anyway, I’ve been wondering about life changes and how to handle them. Take for example boxer shorts. I love boxer shorts; I haven’t always but today they’re the undergarment of choice and have been for several very comfortable years. The problem is that I have fairly colorful boxers, several of which were given to me by my fun and stylish daughter. So along with the gray and blue stripes; I also have the odd Sponge Bob Square Pants or bright red ones with black hearts and ‘Love’ written all over them; or I even have a pair with pickup lines written all over them (I’ve lost my number, can I have yours? is my favorite or maybe ‘If I created the alphabet, I’d put U and I together’ cute, don’t you think).
When I was working at Aquinas, no one ever saw my underwear and I’ve never really believed the old ‘wear the clean pair in case you get in a wreck’ thing. Yes, they’re clean::get over it! Here at my new job, I go to the gym every morning, workout and then shower there so I don’t have to shower in the RV. The problem, if you haven’t caught on yet, is that other grown men shower at the gym as well. As far as I can tell, I’m the only man at the gym with a bright yellow pair of Sponge Bob Square Pants underwear (though they are very cute).
Lately though, I’ve felt like I need to wear more mature boxers and I’m not sure why that is. Is there anything wrong with wearing bright, colorful, cartoon-themed boxers? Only the people in the gym ever get to see them so is that a bad thing?
I vote for the plaid/ordinary ones. Save the fun ones for around the house…when you are back with the family.
Who needs having some jerk thinking that you aren’t a mans man.
Just some sisterly advice.
