Cherie's Divine Comedy

So it snowed this morning, but I still had to get to work, and the buses don't run early enough on the weekend. I fell over twice on my bike. Once in the middle of the (thankfully empty) street and kept to the sidewalk from then on. And once on the sidewalk. My pants were a mess but in the youth department they have dresses in the closet. Why do they have dresses, you ask? Because they're prom dresses. Why do they have prom dresses? Prom dress exchange program. See there's a reason for everything.

So what am I wearing right now? That's right. I am wearing a prom dress at the public desk. It's a rather plain one thankfully. Just black and long sleeved and really not all that dressy (or so I tell myself and so my coworker has assured me). But you know you've had a day when you're wearing a prom dress at work. :P

And before anyone starts with me, I know my bike should have special tires, but I don't have the money to buy them.

UPDATE: I took some pictures of the dress when I got home. It's actually probably a disappointment to anyone hoping it was more ridiculous looking. But honestly I would have stayed in my clothes if it had been. I admit it wasn't the worst thing to have in a pinch but I'm definitely bringing it back. I only wore it home because I didn't really feel like changing and I work tomorrow anyway.

I seem to be bad luck today, though, because when my friend Erin kindly drove me and my bike home she realized she'd left on her car lights so she had to have her car jumped. Yup, it was one of those days.
