Yeah I know, I need to post about my half, and yes other fun/awesome/super interesting things as well. It'll happen soon enough. What I really want to do now is mention some little things that have happened the last few days that make me hopeful that my complete lack of progress at work (oh hi conference presentation in 2 weeks) will turn around. Little good things make for good days and research gets done on good days. right?
I went shopping Monday and bought two pairs of shorts, two skirts, and a pair of jean capris. Probably the first time in a LONG time that I focused on bottoms and got it done. Am I happy with my waistline? no. Do I need to wear bottoms in the summer? yes. So I went shopping and you know, they don't look too bad. First time in Ann Taylor LOFT and it felt great to step out of the gap/banana republic world. I'm even hopeful that between LOFT and Ann Taylor I might find a source of new long length jeans (but they don't carry 'em in stores so poo poo). Oh yeah I should mention, I'm 5'10" aka 32" inseam ain't gunna cut it.
I also busted into a NY&C yesterday after work with hopes of wrapping up the summer bottoms wishlist by buy a pair of linen or cargo capris. No dice, however the sale section did have work pants and TALL ones. I bought a pair because they were 14 dollars (originally 50). They don't 'fit' per say... well truth is a size up was legit big, and this was just a wee bit too tight. Consider it motivation??
And one last purchase. I've been on the hunt for running shorts because I've finally accepted that too hot for capri pants. I'm having a hard time finding cheap shorts with actual slits in the leg holes not this fake seaming/mesh deal. I don't understand how you run in them! I tried on a few and while moving my legs around it starts pulling in my thighs. Yuck. Well I want to run and I need shorts, so into Champs I go and I bought two pairs of booty running shorts. Let me repeat that, booty running shorts. I broke them in this morning and I realized a few things:
a) my butt looks pretty good in 'em
b) they ride up a little but no front wedgie and my butt didn't fall out
c) I don't give an F what I look like cause it was crazy hot/humid and any person that looks at me is probably too busy thinking about how much of an idiot I am being outside in this heat to bother noticing the shorts.
And with all this buying there's one last good news... I found 20 dollars in the Wegmans parking lot. WOOHOO!
So on to productive research?
