Just so everybody knows, it's not a great idea to wear your favorite pair of jeans while you're cleaning the bathroom. You know that pair that you love so much that as soon as you bought them every other pair was immediately demoted to the "grungy wear while you're camping" category? And then you immediately went out and stocked up on more pairs of the same brand and cut so that you could wear that same pair every single day? The pair that, no matter how often you wear them, you always get compliments on, and even though these compliments may inflate your ego more than it really needs to be, you love getting them anyway? Yeah. That pair. So don't wear them while you're cleaning the bathroom, because, you know all those chemicals that you have to wear rubber gloves to use? They don't care how great those jeans look, or how much you love them, they will bleach them. Just so you know.

Why might somebody be cleaning the bathroom in their favorite pair of jeans? Well, because. Haven't you ever found an outfit that you love so much you don't want to take it off, and you think maybe you'll sleep in it, because, even though nobody can see you while you're sleeping, you still know how great it looks and so you hold on to it as long as possible? And even long after you've let go of old loves and burned a few bridges and built some new ones and have even forgiven that blasted empanada from poisoning you, you still want to wear that outfit, it's just that fantastic? That's why.

Does this make me vain? Yes. Yes, it does.
