Annoying? Or Awesome?

Either my pants have all decided to stretch out at the same time, or the shape of my thighs, butt and hips has changed. I haven't lost any weight but I also don't think my entire wardrobe decided to spontaneously lose elasticity and shape at the exact same time.

So on the one hand, F'ing A! Welcome skinny thighs, you sneaky little devils! I had no idea you were coming.

On the other hand, drat. I don't have the money for a new wardrobe at this point. And saggy bottomed pants are not altogether that flattering. But, saggy bottoms are better than bursting ones. So I'm not really that disappointed. Duh!

Plan a clothes swap. Invite a bunch of people over to bring clothes, shoes, bags, whatever they are tired of. Stuff that is too nice to goodwill, and trade it. Perfect timing for it while people are taking out their spring clothes and putting away their winter clothes. You could come back with a whole new wardrobe.

Good luck with denim these days.

If you lose the teeniest bit of weight, jeans will no longer fit because of the cotton/lyrca brand that had infiltrated every jean across the continent.

I lost 4 pounds last year and now I look like I'm packing a dirty diaper. Go lycra-less: A&E has some good (and cheap) styles!

Making Eye Babies

Colleges often have a lot of rules the students need to follow. After all, a bunch of 18-21 year olds can't really be expected to self-govern on their own, at least not 24/7, no matter how vehement they are that they can do just that. (I was 18-21 once myself so I know it's annoying to hear that. I don't mean all 18-21 year olds individually, I mean when they all get together in one place.) Then there are Christian Colleges which have more rules, often based on biblical teachings and moral dictates. Further down the spectrum is Bob Jones University* which considers the Christian colleges just too darn liberal so they piles on a bunch of morally based codes of behavior. Not to be outdone by the crazy liberal heathens at Bob Jones, Pensacola Christian College goes hog wild with the rules and moral imperatives and makes the Taliban look almost liberal. An article in the March 24th edition of the Chronicle of Higher Education explains some of the rules and regulations the stu...

Mycology*

A Phone Conversation: Me: "In the spirit of full disclosure, I should let you know I am signed up to auction myself off at a batchelor/batchelorette auction next month." Friendster Guy: "How much does a single girl go for these days? Will I have to bring my checkbook?" Right thing to say Friendster Guy. Right thing to say. Also, today is Compliment Day. According to this site , this day was created in 1998 by Kathy Chamberlin, of Hopkinton, NH. and Debby Hoffman, of Concord, NH. Sad that it took until 1998 to have a Compliment Day while National Pie Day began in 1986 (thanks American Pie Council and Crisco), and National Handwriting Day started way back in 1977. Spread the love today. Compliment 5 people. By the way, you're fabulous. * Mycology = the study of fungus

Gone by the wayside

I have no idea if anyone is reading this anymore. If you have been loyally checking back now and again I applaud you. At one point this blog was a therapeutic outlet for me. I'm glad to have a chronicle of my experiences during this time of my life. Now, however, instead of a creative outlet it's more of a nagging reminder that I should be posting and this girl does not need one more thing on her "To Do" list. I'd love for you to explore the archives if you so chose. If you have already done so, here's a brief update: Friendster Guy and I are still together and co-habitating. We are in domestic, but still unwedded, bliss (that status could be a post or two in and of itself, but, as I've just said, I'm done with that.) We're so domesticated we're in the market for granite countertops. We also just returned from an Aussie/New Zealand vacation and if 8 days in a tiny RV won't solidify (or destroy) a relationship nothing will. We're stronge...
