I like to consider myself a resourceful woman. Sometimes it is true sometimes it is not so much. I hate shopping, but most of all I hate jean shopping. Like many other women out there I just have one of those bodies that the standard jean just does not fit. The waist is too high, I get a slight case of camel toe, the legs are too long. That is why I live by a theory that no matter where you are or your financial situation, when you find a pair of jeans you buy them IMMEDIATELY!
One day I came across such a pair. My legs looked long and lean, my butt was fantastic and zero sign of any camel toe. They were trendy to boot! It was actually not too long into my awesome jean experience that the zipper broke. It was a very sad day. The awesome jeans were barely broken in and hardly washed. It was a very sad day.
I am a procrastinator but above that forgetful. I kept seeing the jeans and meaning to take them in to be fixed at a tailor but always put them to the side. One day I decided that crazy glue would be helpful, fixed the zipper up to close and saturated it with said glue.
Shellie Moment: The jeans have been put back in rotation with a fixed zipper and I have been enjoying them during casual Fridays at work. There is no proper way to say this, I was in the washroom and trying to unzip my pants. Two buttons undone with my hand on the zipper trying to move it downwards. A confusing look washes upon my face for a light second until I realized that my efforts were going to be forever fruitless. Oh right, the zipper is crazy glued...

Cell Phone Meet Ice Cold Jug of Water
During a typical work day I drink my standard recommended servings of water. At the start it was in a plastic water cup with a lid, very eco-friendly. After numerous trips back and forth from kitchen to desk, kitchen to desk, and kitchen to desk I decided to upgrade and just have a jug of water with a straw in it. This eliminated the need for numerous trips as well as gave me a nice hydration station right here at my cubicle.
The major thing you should know about me is that I am afraid of commitments. Now I have gotten better with time, but I still get scared with cell phones when you have to sign a 3 year contract to get that awesome phone for free! I don't know about you, but they do not make phones like they used to and it has been a while since I have had a phone last 3 years. I have only had my current phone for just over a year, leaving me with 2 more years.
Shellie Moment: I was plugging away getting through all my paperwork and saw the red light flashing meaning someone wanted to communicate with me. I grabbed the phone clumsily bringing towards my face to read the message when the phone dropped...luckily the ice cold water jug was there to catch said dropping phone. There was a loud F bomb that exploded and I did not know my hand could move so fast to reach in and retrieve the phone from the depths of the jug.
At this moment the phone is not working after many hours of being buried in rice but my fingers are crossed that it will survive its ordeal. For now back to the old crappy phone I fell out of love with. On the upside, I am still connected to the world and not under a cold dark stone without a cell phone.
UPDATE: The phone had a rice bath for about 4 days and has since been working. however recently found out that the alarm function does not...
