jeans

I was down to 3 pair, one too ripped & see thru to wear out of the house...1 pretty much on the verge of falling apart but still wearable as long as my shirt is long enough, the pair I have on that is starting to fall apart & some days are just too tight to wear. I ordered a pair of Levi's from JCPenney's, but hadn't bought any for a long time, I got them way too big, & returned them.
kevin drove to my 'new' barn today, it is 18 miles. the road is curvy & hilly & sucks. it was also snow packed & slippery today. he thought we should go buy my 'unmentionables' to take there, you can shower in & hope they have stock undies in your size, but it's safer (& more comfort of mind!) 2 take your own. kate went along 2 Walmart, she is worried about the proposed 4-5-6th grades Valentines Dance that may or may not be happening, she was going to look at an outfit, but of course, it's all Hannah Montana & HSM3. And she is soooo over that kiddie Disney stuff. she did find a cool pair of fuzzy jammy shorts in the junior section.
anyway.....back to the jeans. I decided I better get a pair, or I'd be wearing my one pair of sweatpants every day. I like plain jeans. Kevin picked out several pairs with stuff on the pockets that would call attention to my butt. like it needs any help. plus I think I'm too old to learn to sit on buckles & big rhinestones & studs. and it makes me teary eyed at how big those damn jeans look all stretched out on the hanger. I like the stores that nicely fold the edges in so they don't look so damn big! you can avoid full length mirrors until the cows come home, but when you pull those puppies off the rack & they look as wide as the front seat of your car...I took 3 different sizes to try on...1 I could get on but I don't like to buy tight clothes, the other 2 were varying degrees of way too big. And I have to admit, it is comforting to realize I can still buy off the rack & find things that not only fit, but can be too big~! and a gal can buy a size smaller if she goes stretch denim. hey, the tag says it all! doesn't matter how you got them to fit, just that they did.
so, kate got the jammy shorts, I put back the jeans & got the least offensive ones in a smaller size. I wanted faded wash. had to get dark wash. I was a bit puzzled at the limited selection. on the way home, I remembered I always buy my jeans at Trenton PAMIDA. They carry the faded wash plain pocket fat jeans I like. Will have to get a pair the next time I go to Trenton...
down to 2 more girls to turn in cookie money.
