Life after baby

You know what I don't understand? The word grungy. grunge.

Webster defines it as: shabby or dirty in character or condition

Okay. So I get that. In fact, I've been living it like I own it.

I've been sporting the unshaved, hygiene-deficient, bed-head look for weeks now. All while flaunting my chic and stylish Wal-mart sweats. complete with paint smears from two houses ago. and a hole in the crotch.

I am wearing no make up. and glasses. I'm lucky to have brushed my teeth. and my stylin' hairdo...cut only a few short weeks ago...has been shamed by a hot pink kid's ponytail holder. to keep the long bangs from my eyes. Since you all know I haven't even bothered with gel.

Well, here I am thinking how horribly horrid I've been looking. living quite comfortably in the world of Grunge. residing way outside the realm of sexy. more like on the extreme side of homely.

And you know what? Hollywood dares to tell me that Grunge is the new sexy.


News to me.

But let me tell you...somehow I'm thinking her high heels don't quite fit the part. at least not the part of grunge I've been playing.

Come to think of it, I don't remember ever throwing on anything that remotely resembles what that chick is wearing. ...Though i have to admit, I'm sure I could go toe to toe with her when it comes to the dark circles we both got going on under the eye.

At least hers wipes off.

But I'm thinking if grungy IS the new sexy, my husband has so got to be the luckiest man on earth. Maybe I should clue him in. You think?
