And every pair of shorts comes with a complementary cookie!

I have been a little on the tired side lately, mostly owing to the lack of spinning class and the boys deciding bedtime is now 9:45, and not 8:30. The late bedtime is tough, but the lack of exercise is really tough! My teacher, the Fabulous Miss Silver, is no longer able to teach twice a week, and at best I’ll see her once a moth, so I am very sad about that. I'd go for long walks, but this darn rain...

I knew I was getting tired when I did some silly things, such as - I saw a cup on my desk and picked it up to take a sip of coffee. It was actually a cup full of pens.

Silly thing number two - I usually keep a bit of masking tape on my steering wheel to jot down a memo at a stop light. It’s easier than trying to find both pen and paper in a moving car. Well, yesterday I jotted down a note to myself, and wrote directly on the wheel. I guess my brain is saving itself for important stuff like inhaling and exhaling and driving safely and cooking nice, nutritious dinners.

I also have made a few extremely amusing oversights, one of which is this:

I went to Old Navy for more of those excellently-made-for-the-price and well fitting pairs of blue jeans. I wear the At Waist version, in a 14 short. Yes, I am small and plump. I also shopped in the men’s section, to see if I could get the DH something on sale. There was a lot of summer gear left over, including shorts. He wears a 30 or a 31 waist, therefore he can fit into a 16 Husky, in the cargo shorts style. "Husky" is what a little boy version of me (short and plump) will wear. I got the DH the shorts and me the jeans and took my loot home.

When I was unpacking I noticed there was something in the pocket of the shorts. Now, I have taken things back to a store after wearing them, who hasn’t? However, I generally make sure there isn’t anything in the pockets when I do so. Guess what was in the pocket? A chocolate chip cookie. I had to laugh, because it seemed so fitting.

I wonder what I would have found in the pockets of the returned size 0 Tall Slim Fit jeans? A 100 dollar bill and a gram of coke? I think I’ll go try on some second hand flash-dancer costumes next weekend. I might get something really interesting there.
