oh, how we take pants for granted...

ok, so this weekend i had afew interesting experiences. ok, so this is how it all started. saturday i went to church and wore like this dress with mah turtleneck and leggings. so i wore that for the rest of the day and then i went to sleep still dressed like that because i figured it would be cold and the clothes were warm. well i went to sleep and it wasnt cold. i was actually very very very warm. so i take my socks off, and then the little overdress thing, and so on and so forth until im in just my leggings and i had to go get a short sleeved shirt. so mary wakes me up the next morning at like 1130 because we had to go to my grandmas house for lunch like we do every sunday. so yeah i get up and dont even change. i figure, eh, its nonnas house, like she'll care. please keep in mind im just wearing these leggings that like cling to the skin and a short sleeve shirt that is about three sizes too big. oh, and its all black. the only thing nonblack on my person was my seafoamgreen little mermaid hat. so yeah, i look pretty crackified. so we go to nonnas house and we eat and i start bugging mary and she was looking at catalogs for stores and stuff like for christmas and nonna is all like (insert east texas accent) oh mary! if you see something you like we can go and get it right now! i need stuff for you for christmas! (insert whiny, mocking impersonation of mary voice) oh, ok nonna that sounds good lets go right now so i can show you what i want! (ok, return to how you regularly read stuff now) so i start thinking psh, theres no way that im going! im tired and wanna go home and sleep and be lazy and disgrace the pioneers! they cant make me go. ill find a way out of this! so yeah, i use like every excuse i can think of like "oh im tired" and "nonna, i dont need anything" and "gee, but im not even wearing pants," but nothing worked! so somehow she drags me and mary to best buy. please remember how im all pantsless and in public now, and not just public, but like public where christmas gifts can and are being purchased like crazy. so yeah, we dont even go in yet and i already see my 7th and 8th grade teacher. lovely. we go in and they lose me, so i go to the games and find one and then wander aimlessly around bestbuy pantsless. im in all black, no pants, just leggings and a huuuge shirt, and a little mermaid hat. im getting strange looks and points from all directions. so i finally find them. mary makes fun of me nonstop and is talking very loudly about my pantless state and she starts laughing and accusing me of being on crack. very very loudly. i almost get mad, but then realize that people were probably thinking that already. so we finally check out and go to leave, but i guess our purchases made the door burglar things beep like crazy, but apparently they had been doing that all day so it was no big deal. we could have just kept walking, but nonna doesnt understand and just stands in the doorway so that the beeping just continues. so theirs loud continuous beeping that directions everyone in best buy's attention over to us. brilliant. we finally leave and mary is all like haha chelsea did you steal something? youre in all black and look like you could be a robber on crack. and i was like mary, if i wouldve stolen something they wouldve been able to see it. i have no room to be storing extra cargo. so then we go home and mom send me all around town doing random chores. you would think that i would be smart enough to put on pants after i got home or at least sometime while running errands, but i guess im not, because i continued to go around town still in the same attire. and the strange looks continued. it really made me miss pants. well, i guess thats it. thanks for reading and may this story make you really appreciate your pants. thats it. :)
