Dear girlie bits, so sorry I ran out of chamios cream and got talked into using DH european menthol stuff before the 25 mile ladies ride. There wasn't a smell to it so I didn't know,never again will you have to feel minty fresh coolness and burning. I already bought a new tube. Love ,me

minty fresh coolness and burning?

Possegal, that's one of the good things about him STARTING in the hospital, he'll have lots of drs and nurses observing him in the first couple days. Thanks for your great advice.

Dear body:
Come on, it's not like I've been trying to lose weight. Now most of my jeans are huge on me, and the two I can fit into are too tight in the thighs--only slightly, but it's more than "I haven't worn these for three months"-tight. I can't really do only two pairs, even if I wear them multiple days in a row, and I'm too poor to afford new ones!

Dear TE women:
How do you all find jeans?! If I rode any more, I don't think I'd be able to fit into any!

Dear fashion industry:
When did you decide that "bootcut" jeans means "this far away from being skinny" jeans?

Dear deer:
Running in front of cars is not very nice, for you or me. Please modify your behavior accordingly.

Gap ones seem to now stretch to fit me fairly well, but the fabric is thinner so they won't last as long. And I'm a thrift store expert. I have two favorite pairs right now and a few more that occasionally rotate in. I have a much harder time finding khakis, which I'm "supposed" to have for work. (Fortunately, "khaki" means "any non-denim pants" and since I usually wear them while wandering around in the woods, I have a few REI pants that work)

Dear coffee maker:

I was upset with you for quitting on me, but you've been forgiven. And forgotten. Now that I've been forced to start using a french press in the morning...I will never go the way of a drip coffee maker again.

Blissfully yours,
Ms. Over-caffeinated

I like Gap's jeans--in fact, I bit the bullet and bought some today, as well as some "nice" pants, at a discount. My only problem with the fabric, since I'm relatively gentle on my clothes, is you have to buy at least a size down. I have 8s (granted, from two years ago) that are a little loose straight out of the dryer, but will fall off if worn for more than an hour. My 6s are fine (at least, as far as I know), and the jeans I bought today were size 4!
