Question: Why is it so hard to give up those favorite pair of pants? This is something I often deal with when I get jeans. I get a new pair that I love and I wear them over and over instead of wearing my other jeans too. I noticed today that I am doing this with my favorite black jeans. I have now sewn them up twice and they have a safety pin..yet this does not stop me from wearing them. You really would think that it would..especially since part of the rips have been in the crotch..but oh no..I throw them on each morning..forgetting about the spots till I look down at work. Ran into a random person from high school yesterday...Ralph Taulbee. I am walking down the aisle at Target and I hear "hey I went to high school with you". Random..
