hot! so time to ramble...

So the jeans have won the first round. Nathan tried pulling them up by the waistband while they were on me, but it just lifted me up. Hilarious. Even more hilarious was when I made Nathan put them on, after an argument about whose thighs were bigger. He couldn't button them either, but they fit better on him. I wanted him to wear them around the house for a while to stretch them out for me, but for some reason when I spontaneously broke out in peals of uncontrollable laughter at him in this outfit, he pulled them off. I'm going to try again in the morning when I am dehydrated and hungry and not hot as all get out cause it is 95 degrees out.

So instead I put on a very comfy loose dress and rigged up the air purifier so all the cool purified air comes blowing right up at me. Ahhhhh...

Also, I am working at my new 12 inch Alumninum PowerBook. I broke down Friday and bought one, and ended up with this shiny silver thing cause they were out of iBooks. It is like the sports car of laptops. I got the slightly older model of it (slightly slower processor at 1.3 GHz) but it is loaded with a SuperDrive, Bluetooth and of course jammed full o' RAM.

It is great having a laptop again - we went and hacked in a Santa Fe park Monday afternoon. This one mini triangle park has free wifi, lots of shady trees, and free parking. We brought Thor along and tethered him to our picnic table so he could explore safely. The park by the way, is the green triangle in center of this map link from Google Maps. It is easier to see on the road map, where it is the triangle formed by Paseo de Peralta, Hillside Ave and Hillside Ave again. The TriPaPeSide neighborhood, of course.

I was joking on the way home that we should not say we live in Espanola, but that we live North of Santa Fe, or NoSaFe. Hmm...just noticed that written out it is: No safe. That is what people like to joke about espanola. I guess I should work on it some more. By the way, Espanola really isn't all that bad.

I also said that Los Alamos could be West of Santa Fe, or WASP. oopsies, I meant WASF, of course.

jeans

So I've been ordering Seven for all Mankind Jeans off of eBay. I've had one definite success, one failure, and one "we'll see." The failure jeans were way too big for me. These new jeans today are ones i would have given up on in the store and have asked for a larger size. They are the jeans that just stop getting put on somewhere around your mid thighs. SO anyway, I'm sitting around with jeans mostly on, somewhat low-low rider and not zippable yet. I'm trusting that they will stretch just enough so I can actually wear them. I'm not sure if I will win this battle or not- it probably depends on how long I am willing to wear them in this fashion around the house for. If this works, it could be a new trend - buy jeans that you can't actually wear in the store!
