Women's dress pants have especially small pockets on them, and I do not carry a purse if I can help it.That meant when I upgraded to a new phone, I ended up with an issue. My old phone (Motorola Photon Q LTE) just barely fit in the pocket of my dress pants. My new Samsung phone is over half an inch taller, which means it doesn't fit at all in a few pairs of my pants.

I don't really want to walk around carrying the phone in my hand constantly. And I don't want to start carrying a purse if I don't have to. The only other solution I could think of was to enlarge my existing pockets. So that's what I did this afternoon.
I cut the pockets out of the pants I used for the mini-Indiana Jones satchel. Then I ripped out the bottom stitching in the existing pocket and attached the new pocket material.
I didn't end up with the prettiest stitching job, but since it's on the inside, you're not really going to see much. The most important part is that I can now put my phone in my pocket.

It's the start of a three day weekend and X-Men: Days of Future Past is out in theaters! Dave came by and as you can see, Leki was excited to see him. We ate some pizza...
...then we picked up Dan and headed out to the theater for some X-Men goodness!

Ok. Maybe it's not quite running when you're going as slow as I go. Still, I managed to do 20 minutes of straight jogging without having to stop, which is more than I've ever done in my life, even as a kid. My teenage years were spent reading, playing video games, and hanging out with friends, which is mostly what I still do as an adult.

Hooray for finishing the last day of week 5 on C25K. It wasn't as painful as the previous two sessions this week.

Now to go take a nap.

This month's crate was adventure-themed, which meant plenty of cute trinkets and an awesome Link t-shirt.

Because it's that time of year!

Comfort and Adam stayed overnight night so we could catch Godzilla Monday evening. Corinne joined us as well, which was cool. We don't see her very often and she's got an awesome sense of humor. Hooray for extra peoples!

Anyway, we headed to the mall to pick up an early dinner...
..then it was into the theater for some monster vs monster action!

Comfort and Adam stopped by late on Sunday to spend the night after Anime Central. Tomorrow - Godzilla!

Leki and I spent a lot of time hanging out together while I read. Eventually he moved onto the other couch for maximum stealth.
We took a nice long walk at a nearby park and I was pleasantly surprised to stumble across a few morels. I even ran into a mushroom hunter was super pumped that I was fine with him harvesting the few I found. I'll have to remember they grow around here the next time I'm in the mood for some in the spring.

You can barely seen the deer, but they're there. Running away after I interrupted their grazing.

Back to cloudy, rainy days. Cold, too.

Anime Central is this weekend, so Comfort and Adam stopped by on their way to Chicago. Dan came over and the 5 of us watched the season finales of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Arrow.

Its slowly getting cloudier, but it's not raining. I spent my lunch hour walking around downtown with some co-workers, taking advantage of decent weather.
