I look a sight! And covering my skin are old loose sweatpants I don’t ever wear outside the house. That means I’m staying in! No lipstick. No mascara, and my hair is tied back in a ponytail. I need to shower. It could use a good shampoo! Instead, I grab a magazine to read. There isn’t too much else I want to do. But wait! There’s one more thing before I flop down on my comfy bed. I go to get some Häagen-Dazs with chocolate on top. And don’t begin to think I’m finished yet! Some candies too, for sweets are what I crave when wearing sweats inside my woman cave! Written June 14, 2015 For the Sweats and Sweets Contest of Olive Eloisa Guillermo

I randomly picked this poem to read. It was perfectly timed. Someone gave me somewhat of a hard time about being content doing "nothing." Resting is doing something. I enjoyed reading the poem. Barbara

A relaxed day at home, being comfortably you:) I like the way you tackled 'sweat', and 'sweet' comes naturally to most women. I saw the "no visitors" sign hanging outside:) // paul

Cute, Andrea! I think we all have days like this. Reading these contest entries, I'm getting more sweet than sweat. I'm getting tempted to cheat on my diet! Hugs, Rhonda

And when we finally get cleaned up and dress in regular clothes. We look into the mirror and see the fattening truth that shows. :) I put a smile face, but there's nothing funny about it. Keep smiling. :) You know, be fat and happy. :) See you at the gym.

Love the way you ended this Andrea. It is a comfort not to have to put on makeup, and be able to lounge around in comfort clothes just enjoying free time. A great entry for the contest.
