95. Petite. Jeans.

my first shower is this weekend. very excited about it. (thanks carrie!)


then i started to wonder what i was going to wear!? while i have been exercising and doing good i still don't fit into my jeans. i bought one pair that was supposed to fit me now until i shrunk but instead they are those obnoxious stretch jeans and if i wear them once they get too big after about an hour. so....


i got it in my head that i needed a new pair of jeans. easier said than done. i'm short. therefore i need petite jeans. unfortunately most stores only sell those sizes online and i wasn't about to pay $22 for overnight shipping - wtf? i'm really not even willing to pay shipping and handling for jeans that should be sold in the store. i mean really - the jeans they sell in there - if i hold them up to be the proper length for me the waist hits my boobs. i'm sorry but i don't see mass amounts (or really any for that matter) of women walking around whose waist is that high.


and now they have what are called fashion jeans. these styles do not come in a petite option - even online. so...what? short people can't be fashionable?


annoying....


luckily i found a super cute pair of jeans. they fit. and they were only a tad bit too long - not yards like some pairs. and doubly lucky - i have a co-worker who is willing to hem them for me :)


so there ya go. that's my exciting news for the day. that and i managed to get up this morning and workout. granted i just stared for the most part at the people on the dvd doing ab exercises instead of doing them with them (i hate burpies...). i did do a big chunk of it though. i also did the treadmill and lifted weights. yay me.

65. What have I been doing?

good question. wish i had an answer.


oh wait. i do. getting fat. the kind of fat where you can feel your belly jiggle when you shouldn't feel your belly jiggle. the kind of fat that makes you wish sweatpants were acceptable attire for the work place. the kind of fat that despite making me feel like complete and utter shit anchors me to my couch.


would someone like to feed me? as in the way your pets get fed. only a certain amount in the morning and a certain amount in the evening. basic nutrients - nothing fancy. no ability to snack. i'd also like someone to volunteer as a drill sergeant. make me work out. make me. please.


at the rate i'm going my wedding dress is going to be displayed on a mannequin as it will impossible for me to fit into without looking like a whale. that is if chris still feels like marrying someone who is a foot shorter but is going to weigh more than him soon.


depressing.


on to other things......


i knocked a stone out of my engagement ring! luckily i was able to find it - such a tiny stone buried in our shaggy bathroom rug! it should be back on my finger again by friday.


i've been getting massively insane headaches that make me want to chop off my head. i've also discovered that imatrex may as well be a sugar cube for the amount of relief it brings me.


humidifiers for adults are incredibly boring. beige. so i bought the one intended for kids - it's a red dragon :)


i bought the humidifier in hopes that it will relieve my eye problem. since friday my eyes have been so painfully dry that having them open fully hurts. eye drops make it worse as they burn my eyes and turn them red.


i could power a car i'm so fucking full of gas. sorry if that is too much information. but seriously. what is wrong with me? no major changes in diet - just full of gas. stress? it's embarrassing. and i just shared it with the world luckily only a few people read this.....


hmmm. perhaps bloated gassiness is related to such a high weight number. fingers crossed. gas easier to get rid of then fat. but i still must get rid of lots of fat. not to be thin but to be healthy.


i think i've figured out what i want to do for our wedding invitations. now if i could just remember to order the supplies!


speaking of the wedding. not that anyone has to bring a gift but...the plates we registered for (at macy's are more than 50% off right now!)


tomorrow chris turns 36! he's in duluth right now which gave me plenty of time to make his cake and wrap his gifts :) (hmmmm....licking the cake batter bowl was probably not good way to lose weight)


chris and i are merging. we are now on the same health insurance. car insurance. renters insurance. we also decided to drop our cable. realized we were becoming mindless drones and also that cable was a major distraction from other things we should be doing - uhhh...like...working out for instance.


we signed up for netflix. probably not going to be good in the distraction area. ah well. tomorrow we should be getting a documentary about the south pole. sex and the city season one and the sopranos season one (i've seen all be the last season and so help me god if anyone ruins it for me.....)


despite vowing to make christmas gifts this year we've instead bought a lot. guess i'll sell those 150 coasters i made......


i'm currently in the process of making five different knitted/crocheted projects. hopefully they get done soon.


it's now 10:53 and i really should be going to bed if i have any hope of getting my larded self out of bed in the morning and on the treadmill before work! i'm hoping my little dragon helps my eye problem and therefore allows a better nights sleep!

64. Speechless (sort of)

today is black friday. some go shopping at 3am for fun. others because they are slightly crazy. others........


did you here this story today?


i was shocked. appalled. outraged. disgusted. shocked. [yes - i realize i said it twice but that's how shocked i was]


how fucking insane were these people? it's a fucking wal-mart. wal-mart people. i mean - you shouldn't be going into a store like that to begin with but to go in with such force that you not only tear a door off it's hinges but you trample a man to death!!???


and not only this - when paramedics were attempting to save the man (once someone actually noticed he'd been trampled) people didn't even stop to notice. they were still rushing past to get those incredible savings.


how fucking pathetic is our country. i'm ashamed.

1. Welcome!

hello!

i figured since i'd told everyone i'd moved over here i'd best go ahead and actually post something! not much to say though. pretty lazy weekend......


i went and bought some new yarn for a new special project :) (i really should be banned from the yarn store...) but they have these cute little bags now and whenever you use it to shop there you save 5%! how can i resist? now i just have to get all of my yarn organized! i bought some cute little wall hanging compartments from IKEA to store it all in but i have yet to hang them. speaking of IKEA - chris and i have become rather fond of the 'as-is' section. half the time there is nothing noticably wrong with the stuff and when you can find this shelf for 50% off (and i've been wanting it f-o-r-e-v-e-r) how can you pass it up?


what else? perhaps you're wondering why i started a new blog when it's pretty much just the same as the old one? i needed a change. as much as i love black, white and red i wanted to brighten things up. sure - i could have changed the background colors on the old one but so many of my posts were in light colors that you wouldn't have been able to read them and well...i wanted a new blog! i might jump back and forth between the two - we'll see. i also needed a new name. since you all know i hate my job i didn't want that association brought into my house every time i blogged. and as much as i loved it's catchiness - this one just states the obvious.


and with that i am off to start my new knitting project. or perhaps i'll read (seeing as how book club meets in a week and i just got the book today!)
