  I want to say 8 because it’s hilarious...DH would for sure pick 6 though, and I probably would most days too! I pretty much refuse to answer the door unless he is home or I can see it’s a neighbor!

  @kpearse99 I love this!!! I have a blank doormat I need to stencil on, so this is motivating me! 
  
  Today I am absolutely #9! I stress-ordered a new maxi dress from Amazon on a lightning deal on Sunday from my clinic waiting room and it's arriving today and MH doesn't know about it Well, I just got lucky, and he had to run into the office for a server emergency, so I'm sitting here hoping it arrives before the server comes back up and running so I don't have to have the conversation about us trying to save money!

  Hahahaha this GTKY is hilarious! Thanks for the laughs, @kpearse99!
  
  Before TTC I would’ve picked #2. DH & I loved to have a glass of wine or cocktail together, & entertain guests. 

  
  

  Now that TTC & stay-at-home orders have changed things, I pick #3. I rarely have pants on at home, and forget about a bra.... I got the mail out of the mailbox yesterday in my robe. At noon. 🤣

  Probably #9 but he doesn't usually have a problem with what (or how much) I order it's just that since covid I am ordering everything online.

  We had a really funny video from a FedEx guy on our security camera when he was delivering a really heavy package. He heaved it onto our front porch and then you hear him go "f*ck" super loud.  Sorry dude. I should have figured out who he was and given him a thank you.

  @keikilove @kpearse99 If it's between 9 and 5 on a weekday, I am 1000% dressed - my company hopped on the Zoom train HARD when Covid started, so I'm always prepared. It's usually casual clothes, but there is a bra and my hair is brushed. And now that we have no backyard for the dog, I have to stand in my front yard at night for her to pee, so I'm usually dressed until actual literal bedtime. It sucks!!!! 10/10 would NOT recommend!

  @mvt2003 I am so SORRY for you & all of that restrictive clothing!!! One week I confessed that I did a Zoom call without a bra. Well, guess what? After hours & hours on Zoom every week, I finally figured out how to elevate my laptop on a laptop stand and some books so that only my collarbone up shows on camera & I still look normal. NO MORE BRAS DURING WORK HOURS, Zoom or no Zoom. 🤣🤣🤣 #FreetheTatas

  #5 for sure!
  
  @keikilove oh yea I throw random shirts over my tank top or what not for Zoom calls and I just use my laptop so tilt the angle up so it's just my collarbone.
  
  I order a lot online but DH doesn't seem to mind. It's a lot of necessities so things he doesn't have to buy at the store. I rarely go in person to the store, even before Covid b/c of the Bay Area traffic.

  I am #3 and #6! Always have bottoms on but team #nobra. Also not matching ever, and I think I forget how to put on makeup LOL. 
  
  @mvt2003 MH brings up every package delivery he sees on the Ring- even if it's something he ordered! He was obsessed with watching it when he was at work and now that he's home 24/7 it's a hobby. I can totally picture him as an 80 year old man doing the same thing

  @mvt2003 I haven't put on real pants since March, either! And now all that really fits is my yoga pants. Whoops. I guess going from standing 90% of the work day to sitting 90% of the day had an impact. I was walking around my neighborhood but now I'm hitting the gym HARD. I can't afford a new wardrobe right now!
  
  FF Wednesday confession: I wore a dress and makeup for my first two interviews. The one yesterday I just put on a nice blouse and wore my yoga pants (to be fair they told me it would probably only be 15 minutes). They didn't ask me to stand up, thank goodness!
