I was just at Lane Bryant and didn't even think to look at their jeans! Ah, well, it had been a long day and I did think to get dress pants, which I love enough to get the same style in two different colors.

I stock up on jeans at Lane Bryant when they're half off (or BOGO). Their Right Cut jeans in the blue cut (that's the biggest waist-to-hip ratio) fit me really well and make my ass look SO GOOD.

I love the blue cut, but now all of their jeans have stretch in them. I just want some damned denim!

I have no words left for today. Everything I'd planned to do got shoved off the table and I fell down a coding hole. I had planned this whole week to play catch up on maintenance tasks. NSM. Brain hurts. Send ifthenelse statements.

Happy birthday, Good Stuff, too! You know, I subscribe via RSS and don't actually click on the posts most of the time because, I don't know, reasons, but just scrolling past and seeing the subject lines usually gives me a lift.

The Lucky ones are a win for me because their medium rise stays above my panty line at all times.

I should check those out!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't understand why people think stretch would be slimming. I need the material to hold its own shape, not conform to mine!

So, mr. flea brought home 150 pieces of trick or treat candy tonight (from a run to the store to get toilet paper.) I said, "But, we don't get any trick or treaters." He said, "We don't?" I swear to god, does he pay ANY attention to the world around him? He was here the last two Halloweens when we had no trick or treaters!

In general, I am feeling like the all I do is clean the house, cook food, make people eat and brush their teeth, and I am the only adult around here.

So, of course, I am eating all the candy.

Because books.

A *little* bit of stretch can make them more comfortable. But it has to be a tiny amount -- and the denim has to be sturdy enough -- or they cling. Hate that.

Sounds like you need the candy, flea!

As I age, that becomes more and more of an issue. I can't wear lightweight or close-fitting stretchy dresses anymore, either...

I miss the weight of good quality denim: the material in most of the jeans nowadays is very thin, and lightweight. Too much so.

I'm looking at the jeans in the Garnet Hill catalog: they have a line of slim-but-not-skinny jeans that look pretty good.
