Welcome

For years, I've found myself in ridiculous situations...and, now, you'll hear all about them.

Zip It!

I've just discovered one more reason why living alone is no bueno. Not only do you almost always eat leftovers because no reasonable person cooks for just one, but just now I was faced with the idea that I might forever be wearing a polka dotted dress.
Hear me out...
I'm going to a friend's wedding in a week and a half and I, up until an hour ago, didn't know what I was going to wear. I got home from work tonight and I walked straight into my bedroom closet. I pulled the string to my overhead light and, like a sign from God, the light shone right onto my shiny black dress with white polka dots and red trim. It was meant to be!
I took it off the foam-covered hanger from the last time it was dry cleaned and put it on to make sure it still fit. I zipped it up and - voila! - it fits like a glove! In fact, it's potentially too big. Only problem was I couldn't unzip it. The zipper down the back is very tough to get up and down even when it's not on a body. I danced around for a few minutes and tried my best to stretch my arm as far as it would go to release me from this dress of horrors.
I considered knocking on my neighbor's door for them to lend a helping hand.
Luckily, I didn't need to embarass myself any further. I was able to wiggle out of it by pulling it over my head.
Needless to say, I may need some help pre-ceremony and post-reception. Any takers?
