**incessant boring chatter alert**
I went to target the other day to buy a new pair of jeans. my old ones are hanging off my butt… which is fine most of the time, but sometimes you like to look nice, y’know? I favor expensive jeans, but I’m not going to pay many doll hairs if I’m not staying in that size. I like the mossimo jeans at target anyway. so I picked up the next size down and when I got them home they were too big. FUCK. I HATE returning things. but YAY, they’re too BIG. that works. so I went and tried on my “skinny jeans” and they fit! skinny being a relative term, of course… they’re two pair of jeans from a few years ago when I lost a bunch of weight then gained it back. I bought those as incentive and never got there. so ACTUALLY, they’re a size I’ve never been before. I gained all the weight when I was pregnant… went straight from svelte to curvy in six months.
I celebrated with a packet of junior mints. I get the self defeating award today!
I took the girlies to a halloween party today. the mothers were from my dad’s work… both I’ve hung out with at the many parties at dad’s house, but now we’re getting invites of our own! one of the mamas I did CASA training with several years ago. she now has three year old twin boys. yeow. one was running out the front door while the other was climbing over the back fence… no exaggeration. the other is mama to emma’s favorite friend! I’m constantly amazed when I drag myself to social functions for “the good of the children” and have fun.
tonight Paula and I are watching Saved and eating pizza. then she’s watching the girlies while I go out for drinks with a male-type person. Paula’s a bit worried but I think I’m being very open-minded– I don’t know his party affiliation. there, I said it. he could be a republican. don’t worry; I’ll take pepper spray with me. (I don’t actually have pepper spray… that was for comedic effect. I employ steve martin’s tips on avoiding mugging. when in danger I plan to wet myself or throw up)
(and my new charge card came with my new name on it… except they got my middle name wrong. it’s obscenely wrong in the weirdest of ways. I think I’ll keep it that way, see if anyone notices)

As I see it, the only danger a Republican might pose is boring you to death, in which case Steve’a tips might, indeed, come in handy!

Sheesh!
and I’m intrigued about what the obscenely wrong middle name is.
picking your nose is supposed to be affective also!
yay for skinny jeans and junior mint celebrations!
asses.. are to slap. i’m so glad yours has gotten slapabale.
I’ve had clothes hang off of me in a few places, but never the ass.
Hope you had fun with the male-type, lovely
I want to know what the dirty middle name is!

Congratulations on being a skelton for Halloween.
there’d better still be some booty for me to grab, woman!
am i going to have to send you new undies for christmas?
my sister & i watched Saved last night too. funny funny stuff.
Fuck, man. Everyone is losing weight but ME. Goddamnit. I want to go down two jeans sizes in the WORST FUCKING WAY, but NoooOOOOooOOOO…my A-Ds are causing me to GAIN!!!!!!!! God I hate that. I have to choose between sanity and a hot bod. FUCK.
Ooops. AAM. Sorry. I loves you, Chica!
I like hte target mossimo jeans too..except mine already have a hole in them!
I need to be motivated to lose some weight so i can fit into my skinny jeans
Halloween is the best holiday in the world, what better excuse for me taking all the almond joys i can stand so the kids won’t be forced to suffer through them.
Plus, it’s a good reason why I won’t be losing weight this season as well. heheheh
I have some pepper spray…
Hope it was fun.
You are too fun
please, please, please tell us your middle name (I’m sure we can figure out the mistake from there….)
Hope you had fun. We had a Cub Scout Halloween Party on Saturday which would’ve been more fun if I’d felt better…
Hope your get-together went well.

You don’t know his party affiliation?
