This is why I need three arms

If you've read my recent Jantrails post, you know that I've lost some weight lately.
As a result, my pants are a bit looser on me.
One pair in particular proved to be just a bit TOO loose when I went to the grocery store a few days ago. I discovered to my horror that I repeatedly needed to pull my pants up to keep them from falling down past my butt.

Rest assured I caught them just in time to avoid a shocking incident which would have made most of the shoppers lose their appetites.

It was especially tricky when I wheeled the cart out to the car, because I had to hold onto the cart, open the car doors, and transfer the groceries into the car, all while making sure to keep from mooning the entire city.

It's harder than it sounds.

Note: I have an embarrassing habit of talking to myself, though I usually avoid doing so in public.
But this time I was so exasperated that I said something to the effect of
"I just can't keep my pants on!"

And then I realized there was a guy parked in the space right next to me.
And of course his window was down, and he was sitting there listening to the whole thing.

I pulled my pants up and drove away, making a mental note to wear a dress next time.

Does anyone have a safety pin I can borrow?
