Awaiting a Flood

I'm a bit baffled. I think I'm getting taller. Or all of my pants are getting shorter. I have short legs and I'm too lazy to get my pants hemmed so I tend to invest in shoes that have a bit of a heel on them. This past week I've tried to wear my tall shoes with some of my pants and I couldn't. I looked like I was awaiting a flood. How is this possible? I don't understand. I don't think people get taller at 23. Do they? Could my pants spontaneously shorten themselves? Huh.

Are you drying your clothes in a different type of dryer? Household dryer to laundromat dryer, or vice versa? I feel like all of my pants have shrunk an inch since I started using the dryer in my current apartment.

Oh no! Short pants? I really can't think of anything that would drive me crazy quicker and with more success.... having always been really fairly tall and having grown really quick - my curse as a kid was short pants.... to this day I can't wear capris - it makes no sense to shorten your pants on purpose.

Hope your short-pants-making elves quickly get bored and move on to torture someone else. :)

Stacy: You're a genius! I never thought about how switching dryers might make a difference.

Heidi: I know! I never thought this would ever be a problem for me or that if it was I would hate it so much. I can't wear boots anymore! Sad sad day...

Andrea: Um...lots of biking and jell-o? Haha. That must be the key! Eat lots and lots of sugar-free watermelon jell-o.

Lizbrith: Like you're one to talk seeing as how I'm TALLER than you!
