black and white and red all over

Some lucky bastard could really have scored big time on America's Funniest Videos if they had've had a camera aimed in my direction this afternoon. I was wearing these great black, flowy pants like my friend Bia wears sometimes. They are so comfortable.

Did I mention they were flowy? As in wide-legged.... billowy. The kind of pants with legs that are so billowy and blowy-flowy that when you step up on the sidewalk with your left foot, half of the wide-leg blowy part is still where you started out.

(why am I not speaking in first person anymore?)
And then when you try to take a step with your right foot, the shoe gets tangled in the flowy-blowy-wide-billowy part from your left leg and you fall. Down. Down. Down... onto the pavement... scraping knees, wrists, hands, and ..... face.

Or at least that is what I do when I wear wide-legged, billowy, blowy-flowy black pants.
Sad thing is: this is the second time it has happened.
Wonder if they trip Bia up like that?

  1. that's why, when i wear my black, flowy pants, i also wear dansko clogs so nothing drags or gets caught and i don't trip. . .

    of course, sometimes i still trip anyway.

    btw, i was in hobby lobby today and they had a display with silhouettes . . . boxes, frames, vases...all with silhouettes. i thought if your dining room needs some accent pieces???

    Happy St Patrick's day!

    From Saint Patrick's Breastplate
    Christ be with me
    Christ before me
    Christ behind me
    Christ in me
    Christ beneath me
    Christ above me
    Christ on my right
    Christ on my left
    Christ where I lie
    Christ where I sit
    Christ where I arise
    Christ in the heart of every man
    who thinks of me
    Christ in the mouth of every man
    who speaks of me
    Christ in every eye that sees me
    Christ in every ear that hears me
    Salvation is of the Lord.

  4. My advice: Good bye billowy black britches! Not worth the cost to face or pride!
