I have always been a big fan of the TV show "What Not to Wear"...the British version with Trinny and Suzanne, and also the American version with Stacey and Clinton. A couple of years ago, Clinton Kelly referred to a new phenomenon in fashion that he referred to as "The Pajamafication of America". The term refers to the fact that, on any given day, you will find at least one (and sometimes many) people wearing their pajamas out in public. I now notice that I can't go into a grocery store or a Wal-Mart, or sometimes even to my son's school, without seeing someone in pajama pants. Now I would NEVER do that. Mama taught me better. But I do admit that I usually spend at least 20 out of the 24 hours in the day wearing pajama pants, sweatpants, yoga pants, or some sort of slouchy, elastic-waist pants with some a tee shirt or tank top. It's not that I'm lazy...it's just that they're SOOOO comfortable! And I can do just about anything I need to do in them. I can clean house in pajamas, do yardwork in pajamas, teach homeschool lessons in pajamas, cook in pajamas, even tend to the chickens in pajamas and a pair of rubber boots (that's kinda funny to see actually). And if they get torn or messed up in some way, it's no big deal. I can buy another pair for, like, five bucks. So if I'm at home, I'm in my pajamas. Stacey and Clinton would be ashamed of me. I would argue with them that life's too short not to be comfortable. So today, I'm thankful for my pajamas. All ten pairs of them.
