1. Patched Jeans, AKA Boxcar Hobo (Or, Look What I Did Yesterday Instead of Writing a Year-in-Review Post…or Anything Else Truly Productive)

I just ran up and down the hallway 5 times with Spoo Kee on my heels (so that he’ll attack me with his hilarious Matrix moves) so I need to catch my breath before I continue on with the gibberish.

*deep breath*

I’ve been enjoying all the year in review-type posts going around lately, and thought about writing one myself, but seeing as how I feel *meh* about 2011 I’m not particularly motivated to do so.  (Don’t get me wrong, 2011 had its highlights, like watching my 2 year old nephew laugh hysterically while my husband karate-chopped bubbles in my parents’ backyard on Christmas morning.)

Some plans I had this past week fell through so it’s been a nice and quiet few days at home.  Initially (and as usual) I dreamed of all the stuff I’d accomplish but here it is, Saturday, and I don’t have much to show for it!  That’s okay, right?

But I do have these jeans to show you.  I feel kind of silly for posting about PUTTING PATCHES ON MY OLD JEANS but my fave pair just turned into my most favorite-est pair ever.

I wore these jeans to the point of the knees busting open and at first I thought: Cool, now I have authentic holey jeans and I did not have to buy them this way–ha! But the big holes really annoyed me, especially went I bent my knees which was a lot of the time.

So in true “make do and mend” fashion I patched them up with an assortment of denim scraps and calico.

Yes, they are a bit 1930s boxcar hobo but that’s not such a bad thing; I rather like it.  Anyway, Happy New Year to all my blog-friends!  Be safe and see you next year.
