Darn You Stretchy Pants!

Working in a greenhouse all summer is hard and HOT work. This year rather than subjecting the customers to two of the whitest stems they've ever seen by wearing shorts, I decided on black capri length stretchy pants and a selection of cut off black sweats....styling I know! Now that summer is over and the temperatures are dropping, I thought it might be a good idea to dig the jeans out from the bottom of the drawers. Now there is one huge difference between jeans and stretchy pants that I must have forgotten, one gives, the other takes some persuasion. The good thing about jeans is that if you are wearing them all of the time and they become snug, you can just do a little extra walking and they are fitting comfortable in no time. Stretchy pants it seems are just begging for a second helping of chocolate and a little less walking. So imagine my surprise when after a whole summer of stretchy pants, I pull on the old jeans and for some reason...well not some reason...the reason plainly is that the button is a not even remotely close to the hole. Sheesh! Now I am stuck in stretchy pants for another few days of walking to work. I really should have tried on my jeans sooner! Now I am going to be out there freezing my calves off walking to work at 7:30! Don't think that I haven't enjoyed my summer of stretchy pants though! They are so great and giving! I feel like I can do anything in them, like riding a horse, scaling a mountain, or even becoming a world famous luchador...just saying!
