The time is currently 15:22 (Pacific Time). We have arrived from shopping at our local mall. We traveled southbound 880 to a popular mall and briefly looked around for any sale and found those were priced too high for us. Lunch was taken with the two-entree plates, three tap waters; two veggie rolls and two fortune cookies. My fortune read something like: You will be a guest by a royal host.
I did meet someone who was supposed to be second in line many years ago and I wonder if this fortune means anything to me in the near future. Perhaps this message is a signal that I may once again meet with my friends from abroad and maybe that Yahoo! chatter, who found me online. But fortune cookies are meant for entertainment purposes, right?
So my parents and I walked slowly towards the second floor parking lot towards our next mall destination. The beater car took us towards southbound 680 and then southbound 101. We met the traffic at the exit where the second mall is located but I decided to make a right exit and a U-turn at the second traffic intersection.
So for another one and a half hour, Mom and I did shop for bargains. She got around 70.00US notes worth of pants marked down at over fifty (50) percent; while I spent 40.00US notes for two more pairs of denim jeans. I happen to prefer cotton and denim jeans are part of my wardrobe.
The other two pairs of jeans purchased after the baseball game last Wednesday, 08/30/2006 were wonderfully priced at 14.00USD and 10.00USD. But both were horribly loose at the waistline. At work yesterday, I had to use two safety pins to keep the darker pair from sliding off my second hip, which is the widest part of female hip. The looseness was one fist bigger.
All four pairs are currently being washed in hot water. This is to further shrink the loose fitting. My lighter jeans from years ago are those lighter ones back in the 80’s. They happen to be baggy for my poor circulation while sitting down at work the whole day. The sizes are fourteen (14) for my once wider hips and petite for my shorter legs.
BUT, due to recent nefarious and malodorous activities with the fear mongers from abroad and online, my jeans size have dropped down to its ‘normal’ ten (10) petite. The newest technology of stretch denim jeans allows enough room for movement yet tight enough to show off my slender look with rounded derriere.
I can’t wait to see how much shrinkage the two pairs at twelve (12) petite jeans compare with my newest purchase at ten (10) petite. I am short but with high heals I look taller. It’s my short legs combined with a long torso that has been a challenge for finding the right clothes to wear.
The day overall has been sunny with blue skies and I saw maybe one noticeable wispy clouds in the sky. Yesterday had lots of wispy clouds. The blue beam at the ranch about one quarter mile away from my house shined skyward at night again and perhaps to mark the ‘celebration’ of Labor Day weekend for us hard-working underlings.
