Old Navy jeans used to work really well for me, but they changed the cuts. I also bought a pair once that I loved, and ordered the same size and length in another wash online, and they fit completely differently. Really disappointing.
Cacophony. That's pretty. What's it mean?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Annoying! I've heard that their fits are erratic because they cut big piles of fabric at once, which is cheaper, but means that the pair at the top of the pile is significantly different than the pair at the bottom. Not sure if that's true.

Or I guess they are meant for wearing heels.
Absolutely, the presumption appears to be that we're all wearing at least 3-inch heels with our jeans.
I'm interested in BR's trouser jeans, but I kind of want to try them on before buying any, and I haven't seen them in any of the stores. Most annoying.

That's weird. That would definitely affect the cut.
I just want to keep believing jeans weather is almost over. I want skirt weather! Appropriate for bare legs, I mean.

Yeah, and they were sold out in most sizes online. I guess they agree it's not supposed to be jeans weather?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That's probably true of any manufacturer that churns out clothes in large lots. I have ordered clothes that turned out not to fit, sent them back, re-ordered the same size, and the ones I got the second time fit. Same size, same everything. Buying clothes is a miserable chore sometimes.

Productive day for me today! (relatively speaking, of course). Today I:
- Cleaned off a huge pile of papers off the table.
- Took out the trash and recyclables.
- Cleaned the bathroom.
- Did dishes.
- Vacuumed.
- Went to TJs.
My apartment is clean!¹

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm sitting in a deliciously warm apartment in running gear, pretty much unable to do any of the things planned today -- running, laundry, harvest my worm compost, pot my herbs...I mean, technically some of those things I could do, but the complaining is WAY easier.

It's after noon and I'm still in my PJs, on the futon. The dog would really like me to get off my ass and escort her out. And my laundry basket would also like me to get off my ass.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I'm in favor of when in doubt, complain. Kind of like how I can't put away my laundry or go through boxes today because I was going to do that after I weeded, and I can't weed because it's windy. So, you know, the wind is keeping me from laundry.
