So we headed to the Montgomery Mall, not too far from where I work.<\/p>\n<p>In a perfect world there would be an L.L. Bean store in that mall, but alas, the closest ones are in NJ and DE. So I ended up at Strawbridges.<\/p>\n<p>I should really not buy clothes during certain hormone crazy times of the month. As I mentioned to a friend last night &#8220;hormones warp mirrors.&#8221; I&#8217;ve been feeling particularly sensitive about my weight recently, since I was depressed for a couple weeks and being lazy, then that hot spell where I couldn&#8217;t go for walks. It&#8217;s summertime, I should be outside getting tons of exercise and working off the extra winter pounds! And I&#8217;m annoyed that the winter pounds are there at all, I need to get a gym membership or something.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I managed to find a couple pairs of khaki shorts in my regular size (see, self, you haven&#8217;t put on a zillion pounds, size 8 still fits! Stop being crazy and annoying everyone by posting this girly &#8220;omg I&#8217;m so fat&#8221; nonsense in your journal!). And picked up a nice pair of jeans that felt good. I haven&#8217;t had a nice pair of jeans in years, but I liked how these ones looked. All these clothes were on sale, nice.<\/p>\n<p>Michael picked up a pair of shorts and shirts too, and then we went to the Disney Store, yay! I got some cute pajamas and a Stitch T-Shirt.<\/p>\n<p>In all it was a less painful experience than shopping usually is. I think that&#8217;s because there weren&#8217;t too many people around, and I actually was able to find clothes I liked rather quickly, which is unusual.<\/p>\n<p>Ah, it&#8217;s friday. Off to work for me.<\/lj-cut><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t have anything to wear to upcoming concerts.&#8221; &#8220;Just wear shorts, that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m doing.&#8221; &#8220;I don&#8217;t have any good ones anymore.&#8221; &#8220;Don&#8217;t you have a pair of jeans?&#8221; &#8220;No.&#8221; &#8220;Do you want to go shopping tonight?&#8221; &#8220;Sigh.
