Shorts


So, tomorrow I start my journey with JL with our "provisional retreat" ... I am fine with all that, I was way too involved in college and know what "team building" and all that is all about, but I had no idea the JL retreat would be so intense. I got the packet in the mail the other day and it was like, "please wear tennis shoes and shorts as we will be doing an obstacle course and rock-climbing exercise ..." Uhhhhhh, I really don't own any shorts ... I mean, soffe shorts adorned with HS cheer phrases (check) , college sports team logos, and lounge shorts yes, but what are they talking about? I have several issues with shorts and I don't enjoy wearing them. Especially when I am meeting a group of 100 plus girls for the first time. I am not about to roll up in there with CHEER on my butt and a college t-shirt. That would scream "Hi, I'm 23 and I'm still stuck in my college mentality." I was "that girl" during sorority rush that wore a cotton skirt the day we were supposed to wear shorts. I think other people can wear shorts so cute, but I hate the way they look on me. I have a pair of Milly shorts that are hot pink and black patterned that, to this day, I have yet to wear because I hate shorts so much ... would that be too much?!?!

Wow! Sounds intense for JL. I am taking my provisionals out for dinner and drinks with another advisor and her group.

Drinks = Team building :)

so we must be related somewhere b/c I, too, have issues with shorts. I do no like them. I do not buy them. I do not wear them. I somewhat thought the 'dressy shorts' with heels was an okay look...but only for a second. I'll put on my CHEER! shorts to go to the gym...and end up changing. Anyway...good luck with your obstacle course! I'll have you in mind while i'm doing laundry...in a dress no doubt.

Soooo.....I went to the provisional retreat last week. I wore the one pair of shorts that I owned and they are short, they were still fine. But if you don't want to wear shorts do not worry about it. Some people wore jeans, some wore capris, there was a little bit of everything. And I did not know anyone going into the day long retreat and I met a lot of girls in my group and had a lot of fun.

Sorry this is so long. Just don't want you to worry to much!

The house is on Chickasaw. Thanks for the birthday wishes.

The retreat really was not that bad. I do not do stuff like that either. I am terrified of heights, but they don't force you to do anything and I was really surprised how many people I got to know throughout the day.

Let me know what you think!

What is JL? I am intrigued....feel similarly to your shorts situation. (If you give me your email I can allow you to view my blog too). I am so addicted to yours!

Love this post! I have shorts issues too and still wear the few pairs that are comfortable/make me feel thin. I love that you said you were "that girl" who wore the skirt....I was always that way too. Probably my favorite shorts of all times are my umbros from a sorority party. They are my favorite clean-the-house shorts and they are from a party in 1993. yep, I'm that old.

I dislike shorts for anything except gardening, also! Good luck and have fun at the retreat!

I think us girls get in a tizzy when we have to put on anything other than a sundress in the summer; *gasp*! Hope you survived!!
