I just recently had a conversation with my seventy-something mom about how she never did mature into things like playing golf and drinking liquor, both of which are filed under "things old people do" in her head, and therefore she will never be old.

My local hippie co-op has a wine tasting twice a year. I usually get a mixed case then, which lasts me, more or less, until the next tasting. The 20-30% sale they have at the same time, plus a case discount, helps. I forgot this fall, so I've been buying mead and cider instead. It's harder for me to pair those with food.
In my mind, booze and comfortable, high-waisted jeans are reasonable things for teens and twenty somethings, probably because I was a teenager in the 80s. Real estate, on the other hand, seems liked a mark of maturity. One which I may not reach before retirement, if then.

That's the kind of wooly headed thinking that leads to being underwater.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Whatevs, I live in NYDJ corduroys. I should check to see if there are after Christmas sales because those fuckers are expensive.
Yeah, but not as expensive as the jeans that I didn't fit into! I was disappointed that despite all of the DENIM SALE! 25% OFF! signs around L&T, they were still full price.

My local Nordstrom Rack has a lot of NYDJ stuff. Still not cheap, but cheap-er.

I suspect my adulthood maturity moment was buying a Major Appliance, or at least it seemed at the time. I already had a car... but cars are things that teenagers have.

I've never heard of NYDJ, but should definitely look into them. It's not that I'm =old= but low slung jeans so do not flatter my figure.

Ooh, there's a newish Nordstrom Rack relatively close that I still haven't been to! I forgot I meant to check that out. I figured right before Christmas might not be a good time for aimless recreational shopping, but now might be better.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Cough meds seem to be helping a bit, but now my back hurts.
