I've been getting fatter and fatter. Okay, maybe not really, but none of my pants fit me anymore. Could it be that i've had many of them since mid-college? Or is it that our dryer seems to shrink everything no matter what setting? Could be a combo of both, I suppose. In any case, it was time to get new pants. I have only been able to wear flat shoes b/c otherwise the flooding would be really obvious. I went to the mall and bought many pairs. Then broke out in a cold sweat like I always do at the price. The clerk told me I saved about $50, since they were all on sale, but that did little to comfort me. What about these people who can wear their clothes for years and years? Maybe those people don't grow out of their pants. Oh wait, wearing pants for six years probably counts as getting your money's worth.
