another update already?

 must be a new year......ha.

still housebound.  after the avalanche of snow we got.  I did try to go out yesterday but with the icy road conditions I ended up doing a 180 in an intersection - no - NO one was hurt.  No vehicles No nothing.  It just scared me - so I decided to turn around and go home and stay there.  I took Marcus out for a walk today and decided to stay home again today.

So in my endless query to the vast internet intelligence...........

here are two questions for you.

How many pairs of non-usuable yoga pants should I keep?  I have yoga pants that I wear strictly for teaching.  And then there are the older ones that I keep for bumming around in.  Either they have stains - or they are getting threadbare in the butt or the seams.  They could be designated sleep wear or   under snowpants walking the dog wear, but if I do that - they'll get mixed up with my teaching gear and seriously - I don't want to accidentally be wearing something with a hole in the crotch to teach.  So - 2? 4? none? what? 

Also - For BellyDancers - 

Eddie the Sheik - got an opinion on his best album?  I have enough on my iTunes to get one album (until the snow melts and I can pick up a new iTunes card) ... and I can't decide.   Or just chime in with your favourite album.  I'm looking for new music.

That's it - my two questions of the day.  

oh and if you are looking for a follow up on yesterday's post - I went back and added something to the post.

I do not have an answer for #2, since I don't know the artist, but as for #1 - toss them all! If it's not nice, it won't make you feel good (there's a difference between comfy and crappy, comfy clothes are feel-good clothes, crappy clothes are just... meh, maybe keep one set for painting or other messy work). And feeling good is important! I always feel better when I like my clothes, I can't even wear unflattering/stained things around the house or it brings me down. Plus, yeah, if there's any chance you'd accidentally wear a pair for teaching... toss them!

I understand what your saying and I thought I would give it a try.

BUT - I realized almost immediately after I put on the (almost) brand new pants that - I feel BETTER in the worn out shot pants.
I feel like I can't play with the dog in these, I can't go work in the 'flood zone' they aren't broken in and comfortable.

So your words have helped me realize that I feel more productive in clothes that I'm not hyper aware of - so I think I will go change my pants and get some work done. But I think I will store them in separate locations and maybe mark the defective ones with fabric paint or coloured thread something.

YOU'RE not your! augh!

Well, there you go! Everyone is different, and whatever makes you the happiest and most productive is what you should do. Kinda like FlyLady advocates wearing shoes in your house, but I hate wearing shoes inside and it makes me uncomfortable, so that definitely doesn't work for me.

And, yes, this is also possibly an opportunity to get crafty with those old pants! You could sew stuff on them or try bleaching or dying or painting designs on them, because if it doesn't turn out, no big! It would also make them a lot easier to differentiate from your "good" pants. :D
