Dear So and So

[Owlie]

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)

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!

I tend to shop at good will and value village for jeans because they are pre-shrunk. Anymore, I get men's jeans because I can't stand the tight cuts and short rises on women's jeans anymore.

[Owlie]

Heh, I like lower-rise jeans. My torso is so short that if I wore regular-rise jeans, the waistband would be somewhere around my rib cage!

To whom it may concern
very funny. What I need on the Sunday before DH checks into the hospital for treatment is the first bladder infection I've had since 1971??????
Yes, ladies, I am drinking LOTS and LOTS now, since MY doctor takes Sundays off. (as well she should)

Me, too.

Actually I've had really good luck with Levi's over the years. Especially now that they have this new Curve ID thing going on.

ETA: (((Mimi))) Take good care of yourself! UTIs are no fun.

I could never wear any pants that go around my waist again. I love low rise.

Dearest grad program--
While I can see that you have the best intentions and that you're all busy doing other things, can you please see fit to somehow get us the information that we need? I don't appreciate being told two days in advance when safety training is, or that we'll get an e-mail (which never actually appears).

Dear Mimi, good luck with it and big hugs. Also, if you can find it, Citravescent is really AWESOME for bladder infections. And I speak from experience.

Dear cyclist who overtook me this morning,

I couldn't help but notice. Perhaps your tights need replacing. Because the lycra was so thin, I could see BOTH BUTTCHEEKS clearly along with the thong you were wearing. I'm not even going to inquire about the thong. :S
