A few weeks ago, we were at the mall in Manhattan, and I poked around .... but it was either the crack riding shorts, school marme-ish shorts or leg-hugging bermuda shorts. NOTHING in between. :(
But last week, I got the Victoria Secret sales catalog. And .... TA DA! Who'd have thought I'd find modest/decent shorts at Victoria's Secret? ;)
Since it's been at least 5 years since I bought shorts, I picked up 2 pair! Heck, even if they're more than the normal sale reck or Goodwill, I'll probably won't buy another pair of shorts for 5 years, so it was worth it!
If you're interested in your *very own* pair, CLICK HERE.
SIDE NOTE: YES I'm up awfully early. I had a great idea and now just can't go back to sleep. Unfortunately, there are 5 hours until Erik's normal wake up time, so I can't tell him about it. :( My idea ... is involving the rain barrel. I know, I know .... I need to get a life. But we're constantly evolving ideas for our back patio .... and I recently saw how to make an overflow barrel. This is key because ours BOTH have overflowing issues. But for now, I'll just make an overflow spout.
Back to my idea. I think we could line up maybe 3 or 4 barrels in one spot on the patio. THEN get some sort of hard surface/countertop to put over them. This would serve several purposes: 1) cover the tops where we'll have to cut them open. Covering the top is important to mosquitos don't start breeding. 2) It could serve as a side buffet sort of thing where we could put food, drinks, etc. on the patio.
I have this idea in my head, and am not sure if I'm describing it well (it's 6 a.m., after all, and I'm not usually awake at this hour).
So .... if any of you Wichita (or even KC, we could get it when we visit the in-laws) people have an idea where I could get some countertop for "on the cheap" .... I'm basically looking for something at least 2 feet deep ... and I'm not sure how long. If you have an idea where I could acquire this, please leave a comment!
