So, after getting caught in the rain last night after work and being generally grumpy, I decided to avoid the rain in Central Square by going into Goodwill. I scored. $5 for a very nice pair of chocolate-brown pinstriped pants for work. They FIT, which is amazing. Not too snug, not too baggy, the inseam isn't 6" below my crotch, the pinstripes actually are fairly straight lines (other females with curvy lower bodies should appreciate that), and while I thought they were slightly long when I was trying them on, I was barefoot then and now in shoes they're fine. I'm so pleased.
I'm of course wearing them today. I showed them to
londo, hoping to get agreement that they were good pants, and he simply said, "They look just like all your other pants." Pfft, boys. *roll eyes* These are BROWN! The only other pair of pinstriped side-zip pants I have are navy blue. *nods* And then there's my pinstriped black pants, but they have a jeans-like button+zipper in the front. So there's no way these look like any other pants I have. ;)
After that I headed over to
sandrylene's house to socialize for a bit before going to dance practice, but soon afterwards multitudes (or 3) of the Boston-area KoLers descended (including the lovely
cthules), making a total of seven of us talking about stuff, and Sandrylene and KS were making such yummy mexican food, and the next thing I knew it was 9pm and my stomach was stuffed with enchiladas and tacos and I just couldn't move... (until a walk to Tosci's was suggested, at least. I recommend their (new?) Reese's Monkey.)
