Today, I was the bug. While I was super productive and got a lot done, I also realized that all my running around out and about probably induced quite a few snickers. And deservedly so.
I have a pair of jeans that is coming really close to having a hole in the knee. I know to be careful with them. This is not uncommon, as the knees seem to give out regularly.
Me? I've got a whole different issue, and yes, I apparently walked around like this all day long. It wasn't until after dinner when Mister Man pointed it out that I realized my problem.
Go ahead, you can laugh, too. You've got my permission. There's really no way to salvage these, is there?
BUT if you laugh, you have to go enter giveaways - I'm extending my probiotic giveaway due to lack of entries. Probiotics are good for you in a lot of ways, and many of these are perfect for kids. Go. Enter.
Plus e.l.f. cosmetics giveaway.
And I have a brand new giveaway from Energizer - a Smart Charger!
Lastly (I know I know) if you want to hear about the oh so fun Silicon Valley Chicago Moms Blog event, go check out part one of my recap here.
It's by Mary Chapin Carpenter and it's called The Bug. :)
ReplyDeleteI was the bug all day today. Blah. :(
ReplyDeleteI have a pair of "weekend" jeans that ripped in the exact same place! I still wear them. I'm pathetic ;-)
ReplyDeleteOk were you at least wearing pretty undies? LOL me It would be the day I threw on the crazy ones that would so make me look even funnier :)
ReplyDeleteNow that looks like one pair of well loved perfectly broken in jeans. Sorry to see their passing.
ReplyDeleteWell, it wouldn't be so noticeable if you didn't walk around with your fingers sticking out of the whole.
ReplyDeleteAnd when, when do I get to be the windshield.
Not whole, hole. Seriously, why are those words so similar? It makes no sense.
ReplyDeleteEeeek! Can they be patched and used for bumming? Hate it when good jeans go bad. Especially in the crotch area.
ReplyDeleteSmoochiefrog - Nicely done. I love that song!
ReplyDeleteMelisa - Not surprising... but hey, at least today your nails look great!
Stacey - I think this hole is too big to get away with. But it's possible that the jeans I'm wearing now are shredded in that area although not technically a hole. Yet.
Alexis - Ummm no idea. I hadn't even THOUGHT of that. Yikes!
WeaselMomma - Oh they were so comfy. So soft and wonderful. And only $2.
Unknown Mami - What, you don't walk around with your hands in your pants all day? Huh - starting a new trend, I see!
Hyacynth - I haven't figured out a creative way to make it look cool, but you're craftier than I am, so I'm all ears!
ReplyDeleteMary Chapen Carpenter. I didn't look at the other comments, so if someone else said it, I still get credit.
ReplyDeleteThat's a tricky place for a hole :) I hate when I my favorite jeans are unwearable. It's too enough to break them in.
ReplyDeleteI'm so cheap, I'd try sewing it with my sewing machine and if that was too hard for the machine to get through, I'd sew it by hand with a thimble to push the needle through. I've never had a pair of pants tear in that spot, though. lol!
ReplyDeleteJen - My dear, hypercompetitive friend.... someone else beat you to it. But kudos for knowing it. It's a great song, isn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteKelly - I know... and I'm discovering more and more holes in my jeans. Apparently it's truly been that long since I've bought a pair. Bummer.
Pat - I would try if I had a sewing machine (and knew how to use it), but it's actually too shredded to even try to sew. And a patch would look totally weird there ;)
i had a favorite jean that I wore so much that the side of the back pocket wore off...it didn't rip. it wore off...and my coworker pointed told me that she could see my underwear! so embarassed...
ReplyDeleteit's written by dire straits' frontman mark knopfler and has only been covered by mary chapin carpenter
ReplyDeletemr. pineapple man - Wow... wearing off is pretty impressive. I'm intrigued that apparently only one side of it wore off, too. Oops.
ReplyDeleteAnon - That goes to show me. I should never pretend I know anything about music. I love the Mary Chapin Carpenter version but had no idea it wasn't her song originally!
