New Pants...

With our tax returns coming in, and my pay check Jen had budgeted in some money for me to buy pants. Up till this point I've only owned two pairs. I used to have 5 or 6 pairs of work pants, and 2 or 3 pairs of non-work pants. I'm so hard on pants at work they only last about a season, two if I'm lucky. Once a pair of pants has been worn to work once it can no longer be worn outside of work. They just get that nasty.

So we went to Meijers to pick up 2 pairs. Gonna turn my 1 pair of 'good pants' into work pants. That would give me two of each. I picked up size 40x32. I've been wearing a 32 inch inseam most my adult life. When I was 17 the just reached my heel, which is where I like my pants. I tried on both of these pairs of pants, and both of them reach down past my toes.

I don't know if I'm getting shorter, or if pants are getting longer. We are going to take them back tomorrow and get shorter pants. Something that perhaps fits a bit better.

I think for my birthday I'd like some pants. Some for both work and home. For work I need something with a double knee. Like the Workhorse Jeans or Carpenter Jeans by Dickie. Not saying that what I want needs to be made by Dickie, just that they are the type of pants I need for work and play. I'm rough on my clothes.
