Palazzo pants are great, but I'm always worried they make me look even fatter than I am. But narrow-leg pants make me look like a Tootsie Roll Pop, so I'm not sure it matters. There's no good option for pants, really.

I do normally get shrimp and grits on Tuesday, though. I'd have to give that up.

::aghast:: Give up shrimp and grits? Never! Panera can wait a day.

Amy, glad to hear about the editing job! And being able to do it in indoor pants, that's always a plus.

Palazzo pants are terrible on me. I look even stumpier, if that were possible.

Yay, Amy, editrix! If that's not a word, it should be.

Pulling several threads together, I went to visit my SIL and niece in Children's hospital today, where the baby (14 months) is admitted due to something that is maybe not Bell's Palsy but has the same symptoms. She's getting IV antibiotics and they're going to do ear tubes tomorrow. My poor SIL had not had anything to eat since a OB sandwich at lunch yesterday, and I have never seen anyone inhale Panera like that. Even though nobody is that sick, everyone is very tired and the baby is hella cranky.

ETA: no palazzo pants were involved in today's adventure, although I do like a wide-legged pant, myself.

Panera's mozzarella and tomato panini is incredible, and huge enough for two meals (for me). But I do love melty cheese of almost any kind.

Thanks for the yays, everyone! I'm excited.

You know, I never get the mozz and tomato. Maybe I will try it tomorrow!

Poor family of flea! Anything that involves bringing the baby to the hospital has got to be traumatic for all.

I've had that worry, but blue jeans make me look like an old-fashioned champagne glass, a round bowl on a thin stem, with added "my legs are sausages" effect. I'll take comfort, thanks.

I was a good girl and walked to the garage rather than wait for a ride. Along with my timing belt and other sundries they discovered I needed new brake pads and rotors. And that the reason why my muffler is still rattling us because the last mechanic never touched my muffler and the missing swing bar they replaced was something else completely. Not that I was gonna go back to them, but I went in complaining of my muffler rattling and they implied that's what the swing bar was for, so I was annoyed to find it still rattling.

Yeah, add cranky sick toddler to hangry and that is a bad combination for real. Poor thing.

Now I want melty cheese.

I was trying to make cauliflower "rice" but apparently the magic bullet blender thing is not a workable substitute for a food processor.
