I woke up in a bit of a funk today, perhaps spurred on by my lack of clothing that actually fits. I also learned that trying on clothes AFTER a big lasagna dinner is not good for the self esteem. Sooo, in this frame of mind even the little things are not rolling off my back so easily today including:
1. the lazy people who refuse to walk up 1 flight of stairs. yesterday i was in the mall and a bunch of overweight women were blocking the escalator because it was turned off (and conveniently turned into stairs!). they were harassing the security guard into turning the escalator back on because you know they couldnt walk up the stairs. this gaggle of women also were blocking the path for those of us who just wanted to go up one level. LAZY. and this is one example of the pervasive attitude that slows philadelphia down on many levels.*
disclaimer: I am alll for taking the elevator if you are infirm, pregnant, injured, with children etc. when you are just lazy, i have no sympathy.
2. lack of courtesy. its everywhere. just remember, a simple please and thank you go a loooong way. and just for the record, its easier on everyone if you let the people getting off the train exit before you try to push your way on. like a salmon swimming upstream.
Now, there is some good news to report: I got my new khaki pants from lands end. They have hidden elastic in the waist and look like totally normal pants. i love you, lands end. Thank you.

Hidden elastic?! That sounds kind of like crack for moms.
PS best time to shop? Mid-morning. No more "breakfast baby" and it's too early for the "lunch baby."
Been there, still there, and def feeling your pain.
