Jesus has blessed the pants

Hello my dear friends!
This is a note from your very technologically challenged friend and current "holder" of the pants. Please don't fall over in shock. I finally figured out my username and password and overcame my fear of venturing out into the cyberspace world...thanks to encouragement from Liz, who by the way, better be signing up for her Pilates class right about now. :)

So, as the holder of the pants, I feel a tremendous amount of responsibility to report on the happenings in my life! I received the pants a week ago today and of course, immediately tried them on to ensure that they still fit me. Those days at the gym must be paying off, because they fit perfectly! Still a bit short, but nothing that a little rolling up and sandal action can't fix. So, after I tried them on, my dear husband (who, like the other husbands in the group, has been skeptical about the magic of the pants) tried them on himself! And would you believe???? They slid up over his thighs and onto his hips - I was laughing so hard, I almost peed in my pants!! I thought, "They really are magical!!!" Well, he couldn't fasten the top button, so he hasn't been indoctrinated into the club, but he did "bless" the pants!!!!

So, onto the magical moments I've experienced so far:
1) The Padres won on Saturday night (it was the only game they won in that series against the Dodgers and of course, I was at that game spreading the magic)
2) Yesterday, I saw a huge pod of dolphins as I was having a glass of wine on our deck. It was the most I'd ever seen at one time. There were SO many of them - feeding off the kelp, playing in the ocean, and riding the waves.
3) I also spotted a seal from our deck. It was the first time I'd seen a seal playing in the ocean right off our private little beach.

And of course there have also been an increase in those "GREAT" parking spot moments, increased motivation and brain power as I study for my big exam, and an overall increased appreciation for the simple things in life and awareness of the power of GIRLFRIENDS! I love having the pants and the sense of connection I feel to each of you.

Until the next time...

Yeeha so glad to have you join us here Court-this blog was certainly missing you! It sounds like the Pants are treating you well. I probably shouldn't mention that I thought one of the rules that we jotted down was that no one else can try on the Pants (hmm-of course we can let that one go since nothing is written in stone) I am glad that Jesus has become a believer. Keep on posting sister :)

I almost pee'd in my pants when I thought about Jesus in the pants! Thanks for the much needed laugh!
