I can’t remember who it was, but someone called and was going to stop by, and I said “OK, cool, I’ll go put on some pants.”
And I realized that I say that a lot. Even when W lived here, I don’t know that I got fully dressed until I had to leave the house. I work bare-assed or in panties most of the time. I don’t know if this is laziness or comfort or a well-thought-out plan to avoid using any more clean clothes than necessary (like not getting any more dishes dirty than needed).
I think I’m going to put that on the list of possible epitaphs for my urn. “She went with her pants off.”
Hey, it’s better than “caught with her pants down.”

When I am home and working on school work or the just doing household chores I don’t put on much. I usually just put on a pair of shorts. When I am being creative I don’t have time to be worrying about putting on clothes and stuff. Like you said, if you wear them, you wind up washing them later. Besides, I find that I write better loose and comfortable than I do all dressed up. There is a lot to be said for being comfortable.

When did my idea of “getting gussied up to go out” change from lipstick, a pretty top, and cute shoes to “I’ll put on pants”?
LOL

Regina, you DO realize that this is going to start a spate of friends dropping by your place unexpectedly, don’t you?
What was that address again?

Only few things beats the looks you get when you forget and go to answer the door
I also mainly wear only boxer shorts when at home… Comfort and preserving precious clean clothes …

I’m with the others. It’s environmentally conscious to do less laundry! Plus it’s just being a good neighbor to walk around nude once in a while. Keeps things interesting.

As I’m sitting here, in my underwear, reading your blog, I have to ask: why do we have to get dressed in our own homes?
I mean - my folks always got dressed, but they weren’t exactly connected the way we are today. 30 - no 40 - mmm…. 50 years ago(?), you always had something there in case of unexpected guests. With cell phones, SMS, email, IM - when was the last time you had an unexpected guest?
OK - the foks selling “religion” don’t count, and if they get offended by a fat guy in boxer-briefs, maybe they’ll learn not to knock on my door. HEY! THIS could come in handy!
