Oh what I wouldn’t give for ….

a properly fitting pair of trousers. I recently bought two pair to wear to work. In two sizes smaller than my others. Of course I didn’t try them on at the store, that would be just weird. So I get them home, they are BOTH the same size....and one pair fits okay but the legs are short, the others I can wear with someone else. Okay, firstly, I am not in the least bit tall or long-legged. I’ve got short legs, I’m only 5’5” but the one pair? Are flooding. The others...I don’t know how they are so disproportionate. The length of the legs are fine. The waist is a little loose but okay. But the thighs and hips part are HUGE. I feel like if I stood out in the wind that I’d billow like a freakin’ flag. Ugh. I guess I’m going to have to go to the store and try them on next time. Oh did I mention they were both the same brand? Yeah coz they are/were. I’m so annoyed at finding clothing!

And it is cold here. Okay, okay so it isn’t cold by NORMAL people’s reckoning..but by my accounts, it is cold. I had to turn the heat on today! Even the furchildren were cold. Dixie was snuggled up on me on the sofa on a warm, fuzzy blankie and Teddy and Buddy curled up with one another on the rug in the sunlight by the back door. It has to be cold if these two are snuggling with one another. Teddy doesn’t like Buddy much because Buddy chases him. Dixie and Teddy snuggle up with one another all the time. And since it was so unusual for these two to be so close together, I had to snap some photographs. (And then I broke my camera. Nice. It still works just fine but the little door where the memory card is had a little piece of plastic break off. I don’t know what the plastic was supposed to do but it was there and then it wasn’t.)
