These pants actually stay up! They are not around my ankles at all! The waist part is a little (awkwardly) tight around my tummy if I pull it all the way up. But they work great with the elastic folded over my waist. I'm just so excited for pants that work... I have a feeling I'll be ordering a few more pairs of these in the other colors soon!So onto the other things about my day that have been good:
For one, Lulu and I are perfectly healthy following the car accident I caused last night. I totally rear-ended the car in front of me at a weird construction zone on-ramp. I was too close to the guy, thought he had moved (had not...) and drove right into him. Thankfully, he had been stopped and I was accelerating from being stopped, so it was a pretty low MPH accident. My Civic needs a new hood and bumper. His Jeep could use a little nail polish to touch up the silver streaks I left him as a reminder. And the guy could not have been nicer, and I mean that in a totally honest way.
Other things that are good: Hubby paid for the rental car option on our car insurance. I'm now pimping around town in a brand spanking new Dodge Charger. And feeling ridiculous. What an enormous car! I have driven smaller SUV's. And felt less ridiculous doing so.
Other things I am thankful for: I kept my previous cell phone from the last time I upgraded. This is helpful when I lose my cell phone hours after giving the number out to the guy I hit, the insurance company, the auto repair show, the rental car place... I feel very lost without my phone right now, and can't wait to get back home from work to reactivate the spare.
More things to make me happy: McDonald's. The best comfort food on Earth. I will add that I was only mildly ticked off when the person taking my order questioned my request for a milkshake AND a soda. What does she care if I am trying to raise my cholesterol and heart rate to unhealthy heights? Sky's the limit!
Things I am actually, really and truly happy about? I have wonderful coworkers who announced to me today that they are planning a baby shower for me in November. It was just the sort of thing I needed to hear on such a crappy day.
And yes, I am very blessed and lucky to be safe and healthy after everything. Lulu is using my bladder as a trampoline right now, and it's the best feeling in the world. And with that, I'm off to use the bathroom.
