mood lighting

I forgot my shirt early this morning.

You know those girls who make real pretty before going to the gym?

I have nothing in common with them. In fact, at that hour I dress so quickly I am never sure I am all there. Or right side in.

It was strip down to my sports bra or sweat my face off in polar fleece on the treadmill.

Now hold on.

It was one of those black sports bras. With stripes. Kind of a demi shirt. In a way, just an abbreviated shirt.

It seemed like no big deal.

Until I caught a little glimpse of myself in those GREAT BIG ENORMOUS TELL NO LIES I WAS SURE I WAS BETTER LOOKING THAN THAT MIRRORS 

And I am pretty sure I said out loud

Can we not get a little mood lighting in here?

Seriously folks.

It is not like we are going to bench press 240 lbs instead of 40 just because the lights are a little romantic.

And while we are at it- let’s lower the lights everywhere just for fun.

Thanks.

  1. Nancy I am laughing out loud and still have a smile on my face. Thanks for the hilarious sharing, and I agree with your suggestion!! Kathryn

  2. It’s the lights that were lying.

    No, seriously. If they were fluorescent tubes, that is.

    Ever checked the spectrum of light from a typical fluorescent? Not only is it nothing like the sun, there is no star anywhere yet discovered which emits light like that. And no filter that will get rid of the peaks, dips and just plain weirdness.

    Yay for mood lighting. And for mood acoustics. And for natural light. But never let it be said these things hide the truth. What we see under fluorescents is nothing like the truth.
