The Jeans Saga

September 22nd, 2011 | 2 Comments

September Now Note: I wrote this at the end of July and forgot to post it… If you’re my facebook or twitter friend, you may probably have heard me complaining about the whole jeans thing LOL.  After I wrote this, I found a coupon for personally tailored jeans from an online company.

At the end of summer or early fall, I realized that I’d had my ipod for probably five years. It is likely to break at any moment, and I began to question whether it works as well as it did when new. I use it about every single day, and that’s a long time, so it’s certainly a worthwhile thing to have, after all those years it pays for itself. … Read entire article »
