I managed to make the hole that was already in my jeans a larger one. This was bad news bears, indeed. I then proceeded to wear the jeans the rest of the weekend, and now they are absolutely inappropriately ripped.<\/p>\n<p>Because I wear jeans to work sometimes (yay working at a school!) I decided that owning only one pair was probably not going to work. So last night, after work, I set out to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rossstores.com\/sor.aspx\">Ross <\/a>(which, for those of you on the East Coast, is much like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tjmaxx.com\/index.asp\">TJ Maxx<\/a>) to try a new store out and hopefully get some jeans.<\/p>\n<p>I had never been to Ross before, but my friends told me it was excellent. Well, boy, did I get lucky!! If you don&#8217;t mind sifting through the racks, which I usually don&#8217;t, you get lucky.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe you didn&#8217;t know, but Ross is the best place, ever.<\/p>\n<p>Purchases?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ninewest.com\/Slimming-Secret--Jeans\/3069196,default,pd.html?cgid=2896806\">Nine West jeans<\/a> that are $34.99 on their website (I got them for $19.99)<\/p>\n<p>A pair of jean capris ($13.99, thank you.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.usoutdoorstore.com\/outlet\/timberland-beach-life-kings-highway-slipon-shoes-womens.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-417\" style=\"border:0 none;\" title=\"timberlands\" src=\"http:\/\/providentiallife.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/03\/timberlands.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"timberlands\" width=\"300\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jenniepalluzzi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/timberlands.jpg 480w, https:\/\/jenniepalluzzi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/timberlands-300x173.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Timberland<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.usoutdoorstore.com\/outlet\/timberland-beach-life-kings-highway-slipon-shoes-womens.html\"> <\/a>shoes that are around $90.00 online (I got them for $16.99, and my <a href=\"http:\/\/mykindoftownchicago.wordpress.com\/\">sister <\/a>hates them, as I thought she would.)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-418\" title=\"sandals\" src=\"http:\/\/providentiallife.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/03\/sandals.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"sandals\" width=\"300\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jenniepalluzzi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/sandals.jpg 480w, https:\/\/jenniepalluzzi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/sandals-300x155.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.6pm.com\/n\/p\/p\/7376162\/c\/130029.html\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.6pm.com\/n\/p\/p\/7376162\/c\/130029.html\">Simple Green Toe sandals<\/a>, selling for $29.60 online.

Mine were $13.99. Excellent.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, best day. I really needed new everyday sneakers, since mine are heavy duty and make me hot, and my feet need a break from dress shoes. I also needed another pair of sandals, since I live in LA and the forecast today is high of 77, and I only have 1 pair that doesn&#8217;t make my feet cry.<\/p>\n<p>The slip on shoes will prove helpful when I am trying to head out somewhere with Jeff (grocery, Target, park, etc.) and it&#8217;s too cold for sandals but I don&#8217;t want to get my sneakers on. Sometimes, I am just that lazy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AND <\/strong>I have some new sneakers that make me feel good, and with summer on the way, jean capris never hurt anyone.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Almost-Spring, everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, guys, this weekend when I was in Forks, I was climbing over a fallen tree (that was over a stream) in an attempt to get to the beach.
