Today is short blog but long readings. My husband gave me prompt challenge to write about National Underwear Day. It was a fun piece and I used my favorite character Madison.
Enjoy
Until tomorrow....put in your favorite pair of undies and celebrate.

August 5th....DAILY REFLECTIONS
Up again before Mr. Sun....another morning
with Elvis and coffee....must be my new
morning routine....today it’s ‘Frankie
and Johnny’
It’s Hump Day....waiting for the garbage
men so I can bring in my trash bin....my
day to shout “hello” to the neighbors as
we stay six feet apart
So I wonder what I’ll be watching during my
lunch today....another Elvis movie
perhaps....only time will tell

After a peaceful rest I awake to a new day
Undetermined as of yet what my plans will
be
Guess it will be determined after I get my
caffeine fix
Until I have my first cup of coffee I can’t
make decisions
Some days it takes two cups of java to jump
start me
Therefore no one should expect much from
me beforehand

UNDER CLOTHES

The wacky holiday, today I swear
Is the National Day of Underwear
Thongs, briefs, boxers and grannies
Are all different styles of under panties
Undies come silky, satiny or plain old cotton
I had them with days of the week in case I
forgotten
At the moment I could use those pairs
There are times I don’t know the day I
declare
If I don’t know the day, I could take a peek
Cause my undies will have the day of the
week
Only I will need to keep up with my laundry

UNDER CELEBRATING

Madison loved celebrating wacky/weird holidays. They were fun for her to plan and there were times everyone she felt needed a cheering up. Generally Saturday evenings or Sunday afternoons were when she and her friends took turns hosting the wacky holiday of the day get together.
Today was Wednesday and pizza night for her and her boyfriend, Austin. They had a few favorite places to get pizza; each week a different place would be picked. The rotation for this week was The Grotto. She decided to invite her friend Sarah and Sarah’s boyfriend Jeff for pizza night. After all it they usually had pizza on Wednesday also. She ordered everyone’s favorite; four medium pies. What they did not eat that evening would be left over for the next day. The day prior she picked up a case of beer to enjoy with the pizza.
She chuckled as she set the plates, napkins and plastic eating utensils on the serving hutch. All she needed now would be the four pizzas and her guests to arrive. Within minutes everyone arrived ready to chow down. Austin had picked up the pizzas on his way. The friends grabbed slices of their favorite, while Madison brought the beers to the table. They were all engaged in eating and drinking as they discussed their work day. Madison got up from the table.
“I have a surprise for all of you. We are celebrating today.”
The three looked at her with a stunned expression. Each thinking the same thing
What the heck are we celebrating. It’s no one’s birthday. Perhaps Madison finally got that promotion.
She smiled at them.
“I’ll be right back.”
A moment later she returned with gift bags for each of them.
Austin was first to peek inside the bag, then Sarah and Jeff. Jeff pulled out an item from inside; a pair of cerulean blue briefs. Sarah chuckled noticing the shocking expression as both Jeff and Austin stared at the blue underwear. It wasn’t the color that seem to be what bothered Jeff, it was the word embroidered on the left side ‘MONDAY’.
Each pair, seven total, had a day of the week stitched on the left side. Everyone received six pair of underwear in various shades of their favorite color; each had a different day of the week sewed on them.
Sarah’s were in different shades of pink; Jeff’s in shades of blue; and Austin’s in various shades of green. The seventh pair, each received, were red with the word ‘FRIDAY’ on them.
Everyone turned toward Madison each talking at the same time asking what the heck was happening.
She smiled, took a deep breath then replied
“Well my co-worker’s sister just began her part time business doing embroidered items with the new machine she just purchased. I wanted to give her some business. I thought this would be good practice for her.”
She explained her actions as if it were something normal.
“Underwear!? Underwear!?” Austin exclaimed in a questioning tone.
“Yes, I said we are celebrating”, Madison said in tone of amusement, “ Happy National Underwear Day.”
“Well it could be worse I guess,”Austin thought, today could have been National
Toilet Paper Day or National Condom Day.”
