Jeans and Keens

I’m not one of those people that walks around on Fridays touting, “TGIF!” Those people annoy me. It’s Friday. It comes around once every 7 days, and it’s typically a good thing that it’s finally here. Everyone loves Fridays. So it’s redundant to keep gushing about it.

Except for today. I really am glad it’s Friday. I have several reasons.

I get to wear jeans today. After 4.5 years of not having casual Fridays, I’m back to a company that allows it. And I love that. Love love love that. It’s sad that a simple thing like casual Friday is enough to get me stoked, but there it is.
With my jeans, I get to wear the most comfortable summer shoes ever invented. There are two camps when it comes to my shoes (which are green Keens, by the way): love ’em and “Dear gawd what the hell is strapped to your foot?” Having been recruited to the former camp by Stef, I simply laugh at those in the latter camp and say, “Try a pair on and you’ll be converted.” Which, come to think of it, is exactly what Stef used to say to me.
My trivia night is tomorrow. Which means that all the planning and scrounging and e-mailing and begging and organizing will be over. Am I glad I did it? Yeah, of course. It’s for a great organization that helps a lot of people struggling with infertility or going through the arduous adoption process. Will I do it again? Hell, no.
It’s a colleague’s birthday today, and my boss is bringing in bagels for everyone. ‘Nuf said.
And, you know, there’s that whole two-days-off thing that’s right around the corner.

While I won’t walk around the office cheerfully chirping “TGIF!” to everyone (because that would be annoying and worth throwing a stapler over), I will silently thank the world while sipping my mocha in the comfort of jeans and Keens.
