The Good, The Great, The Grand!

The Good:

After being really sick, I am finally feeling better.  Yay.

The Great:

Since I’ve been feeling down and out, ‘The Internet’ has reached out to me in so many ways. In addition to hundreds of emails and text messages, I received a lovely sympathy card from my dear friend, Valerie. And I was totally-super-surprised when I received THESE FLOWERS from one of my best blogging buddies, Nicky.

The card reads:
“You have been through some tough times lately, and I thought maybe these could cheer you up. You’ve put a smile on my face so many times, I hope I can do the same for you.
-Much love, Nicky.”

I am so touched, and moved, and truly blessed. And, yes, NOW I am smiling.

The Grand:

Remember back when I was suffering from writers block, and I couldn’t sleep, so I was up all night watching infomercials? Well, one thing led to another and I ended up ordering some products. And now, my dear readers, the day we’ve all been waiting for has finally come. My Pajama Jeans have arrived!

And not a moment too soon.  Because I recently made a pact, with my girlfriend, Linda. We have vowed to get dressed, every day in some form of ‘Real Clothes’. And these definitely count as ‘Real Clothes.’ Except that you don’t feel like you’re wearing jeans. Nope. You feel as if you are being swaddled in a newborn babies receiving blanket.

Now, I am thinking about making a ‘faux-commercial’ for these Pajama Jeans. But I want to pick your brain first. A long time ago, I made a movie about my ‘Unhealthy Obsession’ with my very first Apple Computer and I was doing all sorts of crazy things with my Mac. Well, I’d like to create my advertisement for Pajama Jeans in the same way. So, I want some ideas from you.

* What kind of over-the-top-outlandish things could / should I be doing while wearing Pajama Jeans?  Please leave your suggestion in the comments.

Oh, and just one last thing.

I do NOT like the way this year has been going for me. So, I’ve decided to ‘Start Over’. Because I can. And, I am ready to start ‘Doing Things Differently’ again.

Who’s with me?

    I thought of you the very first time I saw Pajama Jeans on TV. 🙂 And yes, this year I have been DTD since day one, sooooo with you.

  2. Ahahahaha. They rule! And so do you!

  3. Anonymous says:

    happy to see you out and about and looking totally “hot” as usual…:)

  4. Why thank you, Robert!

  5. So far, I’ve lived up to our pact. And I have plans to dress today, and tomorrow. I love the pj jeans, and will allow that as dressing as long as you haven’t slept in them for a week. Start over, Honey. It’s your world.

  6. I can totally see you ((((WINNING)))) in those pajama jeans!

    p.s Hope the year gets better for you

  7. Thomas C. says:

    Clearly, you need to sleep in them…just to see if they function equally well as pajamas and as jeans.

    Awesome post. Consider it stumbled.

  8. I’m really excited about Starting Over.
    And, our pact is making me step-up my game, even more.
    Thank you for the much needed inspiration!

  9. Thanks, Thomas C.
    I did take a nap in them.
    And they are definitely comfortable enough to sleep in!

  10. Ziva says:

    Oh my god, now I definitely need pajama jeans!

  11. They are the greatest, Ziva. But, I don’t know if they will ship to Finland.
    They wouldn’t ship to Canada, so I bought them for Nicky and I shipped them
    out to her. Lemme know if you need/want me to do the same for you!

  12. HeSaidHisTelephoneNumberWas911 says:

    You are more than entitled to hit the re-set button, and start over. Go for it. And the Pajama Jeans, all I can say is DAYY-UMM!

  13. Porkstar says:

    I don’t know about ideas for your PJ-J ad, but I am certain that I’ll be doing a close analysis of the pictures of the garments worn. I have a sudden urge to change my mouse indicator to a hand pointer but that’s because my mouse is acting up. (Ahem)

    Anyhow, uhm… on to the pictures.
    …your hot self.

  14. Porkstar says:

    I meant, on to think about ideas, lol sorry

    *blushes

  15. Madge says:

    Ok, I was going to order some, and now I really need too.
    The first outlandish thing that came to mind is sitting in a beanbag chair eating cheetos and watching pornos. But you probably aren’t that kind of girl.
    Starting fresh is always a good feeling, good luck.

  16. Ahahahha. I love these pants. Thanks, Jim.
    I definitely need to restart.

  17. Aw shucks. Thanks, Porkstar. You’re GREAT for my ego.

  18. I’m dying for some good ideas!

  19. You’re right, Madge. I’m not that kind of girl.
    However, I am NOT adverse to eating a bag of Cheetos!

  20. Anonymous says:

    You look fantastic in those pajama jeans..

    I want some now, I wonder if they are available in UK?!

  21. Im not sure. But I don’t think they are available outside the United States.
    Sorry, LadyBananna.

  22. First of all, those jeans look great and you never told us you had such a hot bod, girl! And now you’ve got me intrigued about these pajama jeans. I’m looking forward to what Nicky has to say about them.

    Also? I think it’s funny that you and I both ended our posts today with “Who’s with me?”

  23. Marty Wombacher says:

    You are looking great in your pajama jeans! Maybe you could be wearing them while watching, “Sheen’s Korner.” The tagline could be, “Pajama Jeans, the only thing to wear while watching the only show guaranteed to make you fall asleep.”

  24. Great Minds think alike, Margaret!
    I can’t wait for Nicky to get HER Pajama Jeans, too.
    I shipped them out to her last Wednesday.

  25. AHAHHAHHAHAHHAH! OMG. YES!
    See. I knew the internet would give me at least ONE good idea.
    Thanks, Marty!

  26. Jayne says:

    I love clothes that can go from the bed to the store, then out to dinner and back to bed with only an accessory change. I think I must have a pair.

  27. Yes! Yes, you MUST get a pair, Jayne!

  28. Oscar says:

    Be seen with Oscar! LOL

    Try being in different type stores…
    similar to the mac. different times of the day…
    different weather…
    do some goof pics at DR, hosp, bar…
    you bringing in your same amazing photographer???

  29. Linda R. says:

    They look cute and comfy. What more can you ask?

  30. I wish I could get Rinaldi for this project!
    I want to do outrageous things. Like roofing, or laying concrete!

  31. I *heart* these pants!

  32. I am right with you on the starting over part. I couldn’t sleep a wink last night thinking and thinking, I felt I had to do something to change the way things were going and came up with the same thought. Just pull up the boot straps and go for it, you don’t get nothing in this life if you don’t work for it and get it yourself.

    Have to say even though the boob tube was on all night and morning in the background, I had no urge to buy Pajama-Jeans. They don’t sound as thou they go together, but you can rock um gurl.

  33. Thanks MOB.

    I’m tired of feeling like crap. I’m tired of being tired. I’m tired of being
    sick. I realized I can either STAY depressed, and miserable, OR I can do
    something about it. I’ve decided to START OVER. And Im super excited about
    it. I’m even going on the 7 day detox-diet so I can clean out my system
    completely. I have to stop taking SO MUCH benadryl every day – so in
    addition to exercising again, I also need to watch what I eat and actually
    stay away from the things I am allergic to!

    I’m so happy that you’re feeling better..I worry about you all the time!!! As far as any ideas for you for your P.J. jeans movie..I’m at a loss..maybe something like wearing them while doing something totally outlandish with your computor????lol Told you..I’m not very imaginative!!! Sorry!!! But I loved this blog!!!!!<3<3<3

  35. Oh I love you, Aunt Lynda.
    You always make me feel so special.
    xoxo

  36. 00dozo says:

    Nice ass! Um, o.k. – that didn’t come out the way I meant (I think I meant mostly that I don’t have an ass and am jealous).
    😉

    An outrageous thing while wearing pajama jeans? Hmmm … hanging ten?

  37. Nicky says:

    I am so glad you are feeling better! I deliberately sent you the “Extra Magic Healing” flowers and I’m glad to see they worked 🙂

    I can’t wait to get my pajama jeans, although I don’t know how I’m going to put up pictures of me wearing them after seeing you in yours! Holy smokin’ babe, Batman!

    As for outlandish/fun things to do in them: bubble bath, cartwheels, blogging, making snow angels, skipping rope, and tightrope walking. Not all at once, of course! 🙂

  38. Ferd says:

    Wow, you look great in them!
    I think the movie should show you doing a variety of things like putting them on to get your morning paper (slippers and robe?), then the dog for a walk or out for a jog (running shoes and exercise top?), then grocery shopping (comfortable shoes/etc), then something like raking leaves or changing a car tire, then going out to dinner, then working on your computer in the evening, then falling asleep on the couch in the PJ jeans. Isn’t that the point? Comfy in all situations?

  39. Oh yes, I am definitely using some of those ideas!
    And, I know what you look like.
    You ARE going to look totally-super-HOT in your pajama jeans.

    Thanks again, for those magical and healing flowers!
    I love you, Nicky!
    xoxo

  40. Ron says:

    I’m sooooooooo happy that you’re feeling GOOD, GREAT, and GRAND! Cause you deserve it, my Libra friend!

    And by all means, start over, because you CAN!

    Isn’t it freakin’ amazing the kind of loving and compassionate support we receive as bloggers? If someone had told me back when I first started blogging that I would meet people who I felt THIS close to (without even having met some of them), I would have said YOU’RE CRAZY.

    Thank for sharing photos of your Pajama Jeans because I had no idea what these things looked like. I mean they look like a pair of jeans. I think I was expecting them to look more like PJ’s. Hey, and I gotta say….you look faaaaaaabulous in them. Woot! Woot!

    X

  41. Oh Ron. Thank you.

    You are one of those very people that I feel INCREDIBLE close with.
    I had NO IDEA when I started this blog, these kinds of relationships were
    even possible! Aren’t we lucky to have this?

  42. Silverneurotic says:

    I’ll do Doing Things Differently with you Meleah!

  43. Mike says:

    I was going to say something snow-related too. Like, doing something in jeans that you normally can’t/shouldn’t because they’re not usually comfortable enough.

    Ah. I got it.

    Golfing! Can you do that? Will they let you on the golf course in PJ jeans?

  44. YES!! Hooray! Thanks, Nik!
    xoxoxo

  45. Negative. No jeans of any kind allowed on the course.
    But, I can sneak out there AT NIGHT since I live ON the course!
    Good idea, Mike. Thank you.

  46. OMG You are so adorable! And I see boobs and a nice behind and I go crazy! I am bringing out my pompoms now. That’s a very cute top. AND those are supposed to be pajamas? Those jeans look just like what some fancy clothing stores call “dressy jeans”, no? Anyway, you look great in them.

    p.s. I am absolutely straight. Just so you know.
    p.p.s. Eh, that may sound like “Thou doth protest too much.”
    p.p.p.s. Of course, not that there’s anything wrong with it… eh, just don’t want you to think some creepy stalker is hitting on you…

    You’ve been following me enough this year to know my year’s been off to a tough start, too. But I like to call it Starting Again, since it’s just going back to what I know I should have been doing all along … and Again sounds easier than Over (it’s not but it sounds that way). I’m glad you’re feeling better. Truthfully, I feel totally unqualified to give you ideas about pajama jeans. But I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
