orange and sick and interesting

I'm orange.
Over the weekend we drove over to the Big & Tall store at the Wrentham Outlets to exchange a pair of Levis that were too big. (I don't know what it is about Levis, but every time I try a new pair on, I find myself feeling that they're MADE for me.)
While we were there we picked up a couple of shirts that were on sale; on the salesman's recommendation we got a couple of 2XLTs, rather than 2Xs. I'd been complaining that I needed a 2X to fit my neck, but the bodies were always way too big; he said that XLTs were cut tighter, and in fact, he was exactly right.
I let Teri pick out the shirts, with only an occasional veto from me, and we ended up with one that was bright, bright orange. I'm wearing it now, and for some reason my head is reflecting the color strongly...so I look like a giant illuminated pumpkin.
But at least the shirt fits well.
sick
Once again I find myself trying to fight off a cold. Does this ever stop? Orange juice, vitamins, vitamin C drops...we'll see.
interesting
This sort of entry certainly isn't what I was thinking of when I said I wanted to try to write more interesting things here. But I have two ideas in mind, one modest, one ambitious; look for them soon. The ambitious one will be friends-only.
