Gratuitous Picture of Your Pants Wednesday:

It’s weird to be excited about pants, I know, but comfortable, nice-fitting pants are hard to find! And it’s nearly impossible to order pants online.
I ordered these convertible travel pants in two sizes, and the first pair I tried on fit PERFECTLY.
They’re comfortably loose with room to eat (and trust me, I’ll need the room), but still fitted enough so that I won’t look like a complete slob. They’re stretchy and the perfect length. They make me look a bit stumpy when they’re rolled up, but you just can’t have everything.
They are the travel pants of my dreams.
Do you see the snow out there on my balcony? It looks nice and innocent, but not 30 seconds into a journey to the local Redbox with my roommates, I slipped and fell right on my butt. While still in the driveway. That takes talent.
Needless to say, I didn’t run today (skipped 5 miles). I did walk about a 1.5 mile round-trip in the snow to acquire The Ides of March and Crazy, Stupid, Love for a Ryan Gosling marathon this evening, which I will go ahead and say was the GREATEST IDEA EVER.
If you’re training for a legitimate running marathon, I highly suggest that you take a break for a Gosling marathon. Pure delight.
Last but not least, I posted more details about my New Zealand travel plans on Answering Oliver today:
It’s summer in New Zealand. It’s summer in New Zealand. It’s summer in New Zealand.
18 days.
