Default The weird things we check out in the mirror

Ok I admit I am easily entertained - when I quit smoking I was obsessed by my tongue - had to go look in the mirror and stick it out at myself countless times in a day - It was so pink and fresh looking. Now I'm in the bathroom pulling up my shirt and admiring my shrinking waist 10 or 12 times a day (hey beats getting on the scale -right?)

What do you guys get narcissistic ( I KNOW I spelled that wrong)over???

Maybe I should look in the mirror more often....

The other day I wore a skirt to work that was very full. After visiting the ladies room, one of my co-workers came up behind me and I felt a tug from behind.

You guessed it...I had walked out of the ladies room with my skirt tucked into the back of my panty hose.

Talk about embarassed! At least the only people in my office to witness my unwitting mooning were ladies.

Hey Lisa, it would have been worse if you'd had toilet paper trailing behind you as well.

Lisa, I've got you beat on that one. Way back a million years ago when skirts were very short and I was very young - I walked many blocks in downtown Minneapolis that way. Wondered why everyone kept looking a me, found out when I reached the hotel. Oh well, I least no one I knew was around. I only occasionally wear skirts now, guess the experience marred me for life.

Oh boy, do I look at myself often! I used to hate mirrors, but now I am beginning to like them a little bit. I look at my legs, butt, and waist.

I don't really need a mirror to see it but, I constantly check out the "shelves" that are my hips! You know, those areas of fat that make your hips and butt look square?? I so desperately want them to be round again, and I believe they are shrinking, but I check them out way too much!
