things what crack me up...

so, i just got back from shopping, which i managed to hit 2 stores in 45min.  helps that they were right next door to each other, but still.  one of them was Bed Bath and Beyond, because i slipped in the shower yesterday and jammed one of my toes really good.  so:  shower mat, and also a natural sea sponge to bathe with, because i found out via my louffa yesterday that the stiffer material will do better at exfoliating dead skin cells.  and since i've got medication-induced dry skin, this is somewhat of a necessity.

next stop: Dress Barn, which has good clothes at reasonable prices.  i bought 1 top and 5 pair of capri pants  - two blue jeans, 3 work slacks-style.  basically, i finally caved to the heat down here.  there was one pair i thought i'd gotten in my size - 24 - but turns out i'm a 22, which the store didn't have today.  maybe I'll stop in on Saturday and see if they've got more. 

what cracks me up?  the slacks-style capris fit my length of leg almost perfectly, instead of hitting at mid-calf.  i was laughing at myself in the dressing room, it was so funny.  but they're summer-weight gear, so even though they're nearly ankle length on me, they'll still be cooler in the summers here. 

total cost for today's trip: about $250, all told. 

and also, i apparently can't type anymore. :-p
