Pants

I realize this is late, but I was away for the weekend in a hotel with no internet service, and I just can’t type a whole post on my phone. And here you thought I’d given up. Never!

And now for something fairly shallow: my victory for Friday was pants. Yes, pants.

The weather is slowly turning cooler here in Orlando, which is wonderful. I love wearing warmer clothes, and because I chill easily, anything less than 80 degrees is justification for me to wear pants. Problem is, I don’t have a lot of pants.

You see, God saw fit to give me the curvy body of a woman on the skeletal frame of the average 6th grader. This makes clothes shopping relatively difficult. Most women’s departments do not run small enough for me, and most juniors departments do not expect their shoppers to have borne two children. Or to have hips. Or a sense of modesty. Finding something suitable can be a challenge.

That’s why it was a great victory when I ordered some pants in the mail and they fit perfectly! It shouldn’t have been a great surprise because I already own two pairs of the same pants in other colors, but I bought the other ones a year ago and you just never know when they’re going to change things. Honestly, this made my day. I think I’m going to buy every color they have.

What are you calling victory today?
