Went to do some shopping today. I'm one of those people that puts off self-shopping until the absolute last minute. I have never enjoyed standing in a small booth trying on clothes. Nothing ever seems to fit that you like, and everything you think sucks actually fits.

Nikki, my roommate, and I and Kou went shopping. The one with the red bullseye, to not name names. I need jeans. My jeans are so bad now that the button at the top has come out of the hole it was stamped into. They're just worn out. I got this pair at the self-same store last year.

I can't find them. Anywhere. Giving up, I ask the young girl behind the counter, who says they haven't even SOLD them in over a year so they don't have them anymore. Which turns out to be WRONG cause they were in the 'sale' rack. Same brand, name, style, etc. However, they were WAY too small and they had been about the only pair on the rack. The other pair I attempted were also WAY too small and too low-slung to be any use to a nearly 38-yr old woman with kids.

They don't make clothes for people of age. Nothing GOOD anyhow. Everything is young and hip and form-fitting and bright loud colors and all that. I apparently can only shop at "fogey" stores now. I guess this means more trips to Goodwill or something. It's silly.

And no, I do NOT go to Walmart. I have never been to a Walmart, ever. Not because I don't want to or I'm snobbish or something, there are like TWO in all of Oregon and nobody I know goes there and takes me along. I have no idea what kind of clothes one would even see at a Walmart.

I'll probably end up in the mall shopping at Sears. *sigh* For stupid jeans. Maybe I'm just past jean-wearing age now. Is that their point? Only the young and hip are allowed to wear jeans?

On the bright side, I got a new pajama set. It's a novelty for me to be able to buy anything at all that fits. In this case, I didn't even try it on and I knew it would fit. That was really cool. Right off the rack into the cart. That'll fit. Cause the top will fit. And my "bad kitty" pajama's rock. I feel great.

Even if I don't have stupid jeans.

Bizarre Quiz of the Day: What Xena character are you-3?


You are Ephiny, regent-queen of the Amazons, back
in the days when women were women and Amazons
knew how to wage war without getting
slaughtered in every second episode. You also
believed in getting friendly with the Centaurs
(a little too friendly, given your son's horsey
torso) -- but alas, the Cenaurs are also no
more. How the mighty have fallen.
