Blue jeans and yellow leaves
Score so far:
Gap curvy jeans, size 14: too big. Way too big. Off to return them and ask for a smaller size.
Nordstrom’s Not Your Daughter’s Jeans, size 14: Fit perfectly in upper thighs/hips, too big in waist. Have washed, will see what happens; will probably end up going to a seamstress/tailor in town and getting them taken in.
Still waiting on the Land’s End made-to-fit jeans, but those are supposed to take about a month (a month?!).
Aside from that–we went to the State Fair yesterday, with tickets to the rodeo. It rained. The dotter was a pill. After a few hours, I ended up telling OmegaDad and OmegaDotter that I would have more fun back in the car. So there. So I went back to the car. OmegaDad Had Another Talk with the dotter (the “I would have more fun back in the car” was my result to a very grudging forced “I’m sorry” from the dotter as the result of the first Having A Talk). Both OmegaDad and I said that if she didn’t shape up, we were going to forego going to the State Fair next year.
The rain was followed by fog this morning. This is actually very rare in our neighborhood, but I remember it from last fall.
The birch trees’ leaves are already turning yellow and starting to fall off the trees.
Sunset is now at 9:30 p.m., sunrise at 6:35 a.m.; a great galloping loss of light.
The end result of this weekend is that I’m bummed. Wah.
