So, it's time for What I Learned this Week, the part of the week where Jo-Lynne comes out and tells us what she's learned. (For those of you who got the Veggie Tales reference here, bravo!) So, this week I learned the nylons are VERY expensive. When did that happen? They've tripled in price overnight. Granted I haven't worn them in a long time. I had a job for 2 years where we had to wear skirts and nylons EVERY DAY. Yes, I know. I think this can be considered torture and would hold up in a court of law. But needless to say, I didn't wear nylons after that. Well, working in a hospital I am required to wear them if I wear a skirt. So I never wear skirts. Ever. But I like skirts. And it's starting to finally warm up and feel like summer this week. So, I tried some on. The pair I owned got a whole in the right foot where my big toenail was hitting it. I went to buy a new pair yesterday, so I could try again. Holy cow! The first pair I picked up was $8.50! For something that I despise anyway! The cheaper pair was $6. Of course I went with those. And don't you know that when I got home from work today and went to take them off, there's a whole in the exact same place. See, even my toes know that nylons suck!


I got the veggie tales reference...do I get a prize? Perhaps a free package of nylons? But please ot the ones that have the hole in the toes...
ReplyDeleteI'm in your court on the nylons issue. Pure. Torture!

Victoria's Secret used to have some really nice hose. Some that didn't run, ever. They were a little pricey, but worth it because they lasted. I don't know if they still have them though, because I have avoided pantyhose for years.
ReplyDeleteI share your loathing of pantyhose! They're itchy, hot, and way too overpriced, as you have so eloquently pointed out! I'm much more of a sandals dresser whenever I possibly can get away with it.
ReplyDeleteOh, how I love Veggie Tales... Is it wrong that I force my daughter to watch them?
ReplyDeleteYou know, if you'd just clip those hideously long toenails once in a while, you'd probably have better luck with nylons. *insert eyeroll here*
that sucks - i'm very thankful i don't have to wear them with my job. the closest i come is tights in the winter.
