I’m totally sympathetic. Finding jeans that fit, look good, don’t look already worn out, have the right stretch, AND have the pockets I need is really, really hard. Factor in leg length, shrinkage, and only hopefully color—the search is exhausting.
Taking half home is a GOOD thing! Then one may nibble on the rest as one pleases, in privacy and comfort.
By the way, for my own edification (since you seem to be the resident grammar expert), is “like me” or “as I do” more preferred? Either way, I wish my own pronoun use were more correct than it sometimes is. I enjoyed reading your corrections yesterday–thanks!
+1, lol
