stretchy pants

sometimes when i'm bored at work i like to fantasize about buying new clothes. i'm trying to be better about saving my money. i actually set up a budget for myself. we'll see how that goes. i don't think it's in my blood to save, but i'll give it a shot :)

for some reason when i shop i'm always drawn to shoes, sweatshirts or purses. i think these all have one thing in common-you can't really outgrow them. sweatshirts maybe, but it's hard. have you guys ever worn TOMS? they are seriously my favorite brand of shoe. they're pretty versatile, super comfortable, and they look super cute with shorts/capris, so i love them in the summer. i have 4 pair, and just found these little beauties that i'd like to add to my collection

come to mama

 you can find them here. i wear a 7.5. if you need my shipping address, just let me know. i also like these and this.

for lunch today, my friend angela and i went to my favorite place: lonestar taqueria. i got the nachos, which weigh close to 7 pounds..i'm not even exaggerating. i ate a lot of them, then ate more about an hour later at my desk. i ate so many that my pants were starting to feel uncomfortable. so what did i do? well, i went to my car, got my stretchy pants and changed. i wore leggings the rest of the day. classy right? conversation between me and a co-worker:

co-worker: oh, did you go running at lunch? (looking at my stretchy pants)

me: no, i ate a lot of nachos, so i had to change into stretchy pants

co-worker: hmmmmm. well, at least you're honest.

yes, yes i am. i am not ashamed of my stretchy pants. not one bit. in fact, i might start wearing them more often. they're quite comfortable. and they allow me to consume insanely large amounts of food. they're perfect. every american woman should own a pair. if you don't, go buy some. you'll thank me later.

tonight marianne, dasha and ashlee came to visit. we hit up bijou market, then went to sammy's for dinner. coconut cream pie milkshake. delish. (good thing i'm still wearing my stretchy pants, right?) it was good times. tomorrow i'm hitting up the temple in the morning, then throwing a baby shower for dasha. should be a good day.

in other news, today marks 3 months from the day the ex asked me for a divorce. friday the 13th never meant much to me as far as superstitions go. it does now. today was a much better friday the 13th than the one i experienced three months ago.

i hope you all have a fabulous weekend. if you're near sunshine, enjoy it! it's supposed to be rainy here.
