Just when I thought I was getting ahead

· 🌡️ 80°F

I ripped my only (wearable) pair of jeans right up the side. This was right after I whizzed by @james and right in front of @lauren and @fellyconnelly's place. My pant leg got stuck in my gear sprocket. Funny thing is just yesterday I got a pair of "work dungarees" from Carhart. I like them but they are so stiff and need to be broken in. Also I am worried they are going to shrink but I don't know if they will shrink because they are pre-washed. I think it is good that they are snug around the waste because it will keep me in shape if I want to wear them. I just don't get why sizes are not more universal and why when you order the same size waist they can vary by so much.

I just got two new pairs of kicks from zappos.com. I love that site because they never really seem to f it up and their service is so easy and fast. Maybe bad for my carbon footprint, but if the malls would sell what I want, than maybe I wouldn't have to order online. I have looked for jeans for quite a long time but can't find any at the malls that I am really happy with. I am prepared to spend up to $100 but preferably cheaper than that. Does anyone know of a good place online I can find quality, good fit, non ripped, no faded horizontal striped jeans?

So now things that I need/want for my bike:

Rack- Want
Tires-Need
U lock-Want
Helmet-Want
Camera bag for handle bars-Want

I could probably list other stuff but that is all good for now. I really want the rack and tires first for an upcoming bike trip. They are expensive and now I have to go and buy jeans...

    Levis jeans are great. They last forever, they fit really well (sizes from 'take a look at this ass' to relaxed), and they don't break the bank.

    At Rick's I bought a rack and bag for $70 total and the damn bag fits a pair of shoes, a lunch box, gym cloths, a towel, and a pile of notebooks and papers easily. I recommend it as well.

    I have an adorable wire mesh basket for the front of my bike that I put my poodle in. I wish I had a picture - she's so freakin' cute.

    JCPenney & Sears have really good basic jeans selections (and unusual sizes).

    I also recommend levis. Furthermore, I say skip any light colored or thin jeans and go right for dark denim. They last so much longer.

    I'm visiting my parents, and yesterday mom was like "let's go to the jeans store". I thought that sounded good, b/c I hate shopping for jeans, and if these people are really experts that can help me find good ones- great.

    But I didn't realize these are all 'designer' jeans (of course I've never heard of any of them), and just about every pair in the store was $175.

    seriously? Why pay 200 for jeans. I don't get it.
