Do you get dressed

[scotpens]

On weekends and days off work, sometimes I'll hang around in my underwear until I shower and get dressed in mid-afternoon. But I'd never go outside in pajamas or a bathrobe, even if it's just to go to the building's laundry room. That's just tacky.

BTW, right now I'm naked.

I get dressed at some point every day, but I work from home so I'm likely to sit around in my underwear on hot days. But even then, I'll be out before or after work. I certainly always get dressed to go out, including shoes. One time I had to go across the street to mail something at about 5am and I figured I'd just go in my slippers-- then I tripped on the sidewalk on the way back and broke my toe. Not gonna do that again

And I definitely take a shower every day. Not that I get especially dirty, but I just enjoy a nice, hot shower.

Do I get dressed?...Why, yes...yes I do...and here is how...

How to Dress HIjol

Step 1

Sanitize all cooking surfaces, utensils and hands with soap and hot water before handling HIjol. You should wash your hands for at least 20 seconds to eliminate any bacteria.

Step 2

Avoid cross-contamination by keeping HIjol and his juices separate from other food. Use a specific cutting board and utensils while dressing HIjol.

Step 3

Remove the entrails from the cavity of HIjol with your hands. You may need to make a small cut between the thighs to enter the cavity. Some people choose to save the giblets -- kidney, heart and gizzard -- to add into soups or gravy.

Step 4

Cut the neck and tear area off and discard any excess fat. (There will be a LOT!)

Step 5

Rinse HIjol inside and out, under cold water. Washing him doesn't destroy any bacteria but it helps to remove any excess blood, fat or feathers. (HIjol is arboreal!)

Step 6

Dry HIjol with paper towels before seasoning. This process helps to produce a brown, crispy skin.

Step 7

Refrigerate or cook HIjol immediately after dressing. Leaving the raw meat at room temperature promotes bacterial growth.

...what with above procedure and all, as you can imagined I do not get out much...

...from time to time I DO crack myself up!

I work at home, narrating audiobooks in my walk-in closet-slash-recording studio. Because there's no airflow in there it gets quite hot, so I'm usually reading the books wearing nothing more than my boxer shorts.

I got dressed for the first time in a week yesterday, and had no problem popping out to get the mail or receiving visitors in my pajamas. However I just had a baby, so I get a pass on a lot of stuff. Generally I dress every day just to make myself feel better and more motivated to do the things I need to do.

Wrong type of dressing HIjol though if I ever become a cannibal, at least I'll know how to cook you.

I have some homewear (that I also wear when I sleep) that is nice and comfortable enough to wear around the house all day, so I do not "get dressed" if for some reason I stay in all day. However, I also have some more "traditional" PJs that I do not like wearing around all day. If I happen to wear these during the night, I will at least change to a t-shirt or something even if I'm staying in.

 

[Mudd]

Dressed and shaved every morning. Not in that order.

 

[Rarewolf]

Have you ever gone out wearing your pyjamas?

Top half, only once. But I noticed before I got to work and had a jacket there anyway.

...ah, the tidbits of information we amass...

When I'm hanging around the house, I typically just wear a t-shirt and gym shorts, but I never wear those out anywhere. I'll typically wear a polo shirt, or at least a nice t-shirt and some cargo shorts, or jeans.

@Hijol: I'm taking a vow of silence concerning this dressing. Good day.

 

[Spot's Meow]

As soon as I get home from work every day I put my PJs on. I also wear them all weekend, unless I have to go out (which being the homebody that I am, I usually don't). Comfort in clothing is very important to me. However if I am going out for anything more than getting the mail, I do get dressed.

I live by myself, if that makes any difference.

As to the second question, if I am just sitting in my PJs all day then I usually don't shower, unless it's a really hot day and I've been sweating. Since I work five days a week this means that Saturday is usually the only day I might not shower.

 

[auntiehill]

I'm home most days, working from my home office, and I'm alone---about 12 hours before hubby gets home. So, yeah, many days, I won't get dressed; I'll just lounge around in pjs or sweats. But I always shower---always. Every single day. I feel gross and dirty if I don't.

For example, today there's no work and hubby is off at his job. I'm home alone, in my pjs. I am going to out, in some old capris and a T shirt, when it cools off--after 5pm--and do some serious yard work--spreading mulch and hauling sacks of dirt around. I'm not going to shower until AFTER I've done all that dirty work.

I have never been out in my pjs; the mere idea horrifies me. I see people in the grocery store in what appears to be their pajamas and I'm stunned by it.

 

[rhubarbodendron]

do you just longe around in your underwear/pyjamas/nightie/dressing gown?

Have you ever gone out wearing your pyjamas?

Normally I dress (unless I decide to spend the day in bed).
In summer when it's very hot in my apartment I tend to go in the buff. It's also a recommendable attire when cooking something that leaves irremovable stains (beetroots, cherry juice, blueberry compote and the like).

I go to the letter box, 2 stories down, in my dressing gown if I'm ill. Else I always dress when leaving my flat. Don't want to traumatize my neighbours


@HIjol: I'd rather have imagined you with a nice herbal dressing. A light chervil vinaigrette, for example. Or how about olive oil, a pinch of salt, freshly ground pepper and the juice and zest of an orange? And a sprig of peppermint, perhaps?
Or lemon juice and a drizzle of acacia honey?

 

[sojourner]

Oh, amendment to my original post.

I forgot to mention naked tuesdays.

...I understand...well, at least I am well-dressed!

Yowza!...all of the above, and shut the front door!
