Addendum

When making my list yesterday, I forgot that this weekend I also:

  • witnessed a hit-and-run accident

    • I was waiting at a red light when a car traveling perpendicular to me drove across the intersection and into another car. Not at a high speed, but you could hear the crunch. After a long pause, the back car reversed, changed lanes, and drove off. It was really creepy to witness someone shirking their responsibility so blatantly. I tried to get their license plate number, but I was able to see only the first three letters, and the hittee drove off so I couldn't even give them that.
  • purchased a pair of jeans

    • They take into account my hips (appropriate for child-bearing), and height (short), are low-rise and bootcut, and cost me only $21.99. I think this was my first acquisition of blue denim jeans in more than 10 years - it's always such a struggle to find ones that fit. And I don't think I've had such trendy jeans since fifth grade, when I had, not only the ones with embroidered stripes, but ones of the same variety, with a windowpane check.

    for all of us with body types similar to what you've described... please consider sharing the details of which jeans you found that both fit and had such a nice pice.

    on trendiness of jeans... i guess you and are just off enough in our ages that the trends were slightly different for me. the best pair of jeans i owned had pink shoe laces at the bottom! yep, that was the fifth grade for me, as well.

    Please share your jean source. I bought the Target to a T jeans and they still didn't fit well. Not very custom but they're okay.

    I hate shopping for jeans and all mine (uncool and dowdy that they are) are starting to go thin and bare in the ass.

    Kari and Cinnamon,
    The softer side of Sears came through for me - specifically, the Kelly style of Apostrophe jeans. Key was that they weren't just petite, they were also in the "short" length. Happy shopping!

    Ahhhh! Hm... thanks Shokufeh.
    Did you know there's a Sears on State Street now? And, in my opinion, they're Christmas window-displays told a much more interesting story than Marshall Field's this year.
