heeeey, nice ass

Feeling pretty damn good about myself today.
I managed to make a pair of really cool pants for 85 cents (if you add in labour at $60/ hr which, in my fantasy life, is what I earn, they actually cost well over a hundred dollars but nevermind) My friend had these pants that I actually could stomach looking at myself in and I was all geared up to go get some until she informed me they cost $90.
$90 is the cost of my entire wardrobe.
These are Lululemon exercise pants not fancy wedding pants.
Not I'm really single and I need a boyfriend pants.
Not I have a function to attend in two hours and nothing to wear pants.
Just plain black exercise pants.
I tried to find some on EBay but there were 9000 bids per pair and I just can't be trusted bidding on EBay anymore (I WILL WIN AT ANY COST!)
So I ripped apart of pair of old pants I thought were about the right shape, taped 7 sheets of my kids construction paper together, drew on the pants, pretended to measure several things, cut and sewed and
Viola!
They're great. My husband called them a "bit bunchy" and said that "maybe you should fix the bottom" but whatever, he wears sweater vests, so screw him.
I made a cool maternity shirt last week too. It didn't start out as a maternity shirt but hey, I like a surprise as much as the next guy.
Oh ya baby, I love it cheap. 85 cents makes me a little weak-kneed with ecstasy.
Ask anyone, if I get a compliment on something I am wearing, I always tell the price of it.
"Oh, I like those shoes"
"3 dollars! Can you believe it?!" The cheaper it is the more explanation points it gets.

I'm out. Have a great day. My two year old just told the cat to "beat it' hhhmmm, maybe it's time to get out of the house.
