YES!

Can I just tell you about something that I find extraordinairily fabulous? I just ordered some clothes from Old Navy.com. I was a little apprehensive, as I go to real-live Old Navy about once a month and usually leave with nothing. Too short, too loose in funny places, too appliqued. And any time you order from a catalog or online you're taking big chances. Who the fuck wants the hassle and disappointment of sending them back after waiting a week and hoping against hope they get to you by Friday so you can wear them over the long holiday weekend IF they fit? (Actually, Old Navy has in-store returns and a prepaid return package included. Charming!)

I never have high hopes for clothing that comes in those sad, droopy bags. BUT WAIT. My moment of Zen:

I rip the package open and sub-packages come slipping out. Three items? Check!
I furiously strip out of my work pants and go straight for the pair of pants I'm most excited about. Ooooh. Could it be? No. OH MY GAWD they sent invisible fairies to my bedroom and took my measurements while I was sleeping! These pants, they know the dimensions of my ass, and just to make sure I'm smitten, they love it! I'll take success where I can get it, and by gadjum I HAVE SUCCEEDED. This calls for a new pair of flip flops.

Oh, and the other pants fit too. They shan't (do you put an apostrophe in that?) go unrecognized. I have a problem with pants. Being the tall glass of lemonade that I am, it's very hard to find pants that don't totally give away that I rarely wear matching socks.

So yay. Happy Friday! Let there be barbecue and maybe, just maybe, some swimming!
