sing the praises of pants
the other day i realized with a shock that my jeans were so ill-fitting that the crotch was riding down around my knees. so today i went in search of new jeans. now, this is usually a very painful process. but today i was guided by a guardian angel named...
when i was visiting aunt betty, we watched her show a few times. one day oprah was wearing a very sharp-looking pair of jeans. at the end of the show she faced the audience and said, "i love these jeans so much that we're giving each of you a pair to take home." well, i figured if they're good enough for oprah, they just might be good enough for me.
and they are. they're a dream. they're from the gap, a style called long and lean. the rise is kind of low, which works well for me and my regrettable pot belly. the fit is slim through the legs. they flare at the , enough to look fashionable but not enough to make me feel like i belong in saturday night fever. and the fabric includes a hint of lycra, so they fit smoothly but not tightly.
love my new jeans. of course, the best part is that i left with a pair two sizes smaller than the pair i walked in wearing.

well, they're better than the toughskins we used to wear from sears, that's for sure!

Wow. Toughskins. I remember I had this really nice pair of purple plaid Toughskins that had to be thrown away because I wore out the knees. Due to their color, they couldn't be patched. Alas, o days of yout.
