I'm not super familiar with the humor of ripping your pants. Can someone enlighten me? Because it doesn't seem very funny to me if you rip your favorite pair of jeans on some no-name chair in the Marriot Center, and have to go the entire day positioning your backpack over your shoulder in such a way so that it covers this so-called rip.So I went home that night and got all Martha Stewart on those jeans. I actually don't know if Martha Stewart sews... she was just a name I came up with. I almost said Betty Crocker, but she cooks, so obviously I couldn't put her name down. Anyway.I fixed the tear, which ended up being only like an inch big. At the time it happened, I felt like I had ripped my pants in half and was completely exposed. So I go on for the next week or so happy as a clam with my newly repaired skinny jeans that so nicely tuck into winter boots. Then, while I was making my Halloween costume (which turned out awesome, by the way) at my brother and sister-in-law's house, I get this huge (and when I say huge, I mean HUGE) rip on the inner part of my thigh area. Uh, Hello!
So the pants are over with. Sadly, I just don't think they can take anymore repair, and frankly, I don't want to risk getting another rip like that in them while I am in public. So I've moved on to my black skinny jeans which don't exactly go with every outfit, but do suffice. In a way, I feel like this transition of pants is a good thing for me. It makes think about my outfits. I feel like I'm actually trying to look cute now, compared to these last few months where it's been hoodie-central all over the place. Luckily, I have my cute, lime green and navy striped Disney hoodie, so I looked half decent (Thank you, cast discount!).
Like I said earlier, my Halloween costume was (or IS) awesome! My sister-in-law, Alison, helped me make it. Also, this is a side note, but you know how earlier I couldn't think of anyone who is like awesome at sewing? Well I could've said something like, "I got all Alison on those jeans!", because she's that awesome. Anywho. She helped me make my costume and totally sewed like a whole tunic thing in one day! And I surged. It was really exciting.
Speaking of sewing, the past few days I have been working on a Christmas cross-stitch. Actually the past few days I have been doing all sorts of motherly things. On Friday I spent the day cleaning, baking cookies, and doing my cross-stitch while watching SuperNanny. So not only is my house clean and my cross-stitch done, but I also now know how to discipline unruly children.
Hopefully you enjoyed reading this blog, because heaven knows I would rather write this thing than my Plan B assignment for Intro to Dietetics (Don't worry, I'll whip it out tomorrow in like 20 minutes). But everything here is going great. We just got the ward menu... I mean... ward directory. So I think we'll start to learn more people's names and stuff. Hope everything this week goes great for you! Bye!
