Just Some Things

1. I will post pictures soon of the birds I made, though some of them turned out funky in the beak because I used too heavy of fabrics and some of the beaks look like noses, making them look like dogs instead of birds. Not cute.

2. I am enjoying the clean aroma of my Method Citrus Cilantro circle air freshener thingee.
Of course, the scent is a special edition and they will not be making it for very much longer, which always happens to me, especially when it comes to jeans.

I have a very, very hard time finding jeans that fit me right. I have a smallish waist, a big bottom, big spinning quads, and short, big- boned legs which is an odd combination indeed. It takes a lot of time, blood, sweat and tears to actually find jeans that even come close to looking not-ridiculous. When skinny jeans came onto the scene, I liked them but was convinced that someone with my body type could not and should not wear them. But I forged ahead with a pound of naivete and an ounce of hope and miraculously ended up finding the perfect pair: Arden B.'s Lexy Skinny. They make me look like I have a somewhat normal body, which is a hefty feat. Of course, now that I've worn them so much, there are holes in the crotch that I've patched over. Twice. Do I still wear them? You bet I do, but I did try to acquire another pair. I went online and couldn't find them. So I went back to Arden B. back in May while we were in CA and guess what? The Lexy Skinny have been discontinued. Forever. And ever. This did not shock me. Why? Because anyone who actually can fit into them probably shouldn't be wearing skinny jeans anyway. Miss Size Zero Snooty Bridges Arden B. Worker reaffirmed my hypothesis by laughing out loud at me when I shared this gem with her.

3. This coming Monday, the girls and I were planning to go camping with a bunch of other Moms and their kids. It was going to an adventure, seeing as the last time I camped (not including girls camp), I was wearing cut off sweat pants and a scrunchee in my hair.
How much would I love to have either of my brother's T-shirts right now? Anyway, all of our husbands thought we were crazy for wanting to do it alone and come to find out, not that thrilled about the whole idea for safety reasons so like the good little submissive wives we are (HA!) we are doing a day camp instead but STILL building fires and tents and eating foil dinners and s'mores and doing it without any help from a man. This shall be interesting.

4. I leave soon for CA. I am excited. After CA, I will be going to Vegas/Reynolds' cabin which I am equally as excited for. I'm so excited that I'm finding it hard to do day to day things, which always happens about a week before I leave to go back home. I just want to be gone already.

5. Does anyone else find it annoying when you're reviewing that stats from your site and find that some unknown blog has a link to yours, so you go try to go to this blog and it's private. Private! That doesn't seem fair for some reason. Like who is this stranger and why do they have a link to my blog on their sidebar and in what category is it? It could be like "Stupidest Blogs Ever" or "Most Narcissistic Blogs Out There." I guess I shall never know.

6. Ruby has been making lots of these lately--rabbits and mice faces.
7. Last night, Go was on call and so I found myself alone. Following my dear aunt Mary's advice, I watched an episode of Gilmore Girls before I went to bed. AND IT WAS MY FAVORITE EPISODE. It's not the the cleverest or best written, but it's the one where Rory kisses Jess at Sukie's wedding. I may or may not have rewound the kiss scene 20 times. And then I went to sleep and had very nice dreams.

8. I have a list that is a boa constrictor's length long of things I have to do before I leave that I don't want to do. And they all involve phone calls, paper work, money and the post office/UPS/FedEx. All of these things/places I loathe very deeply.

9. I got my Real Simple magazine about a week ago and I have yet to go through it. This is a record for me. I might just save it for the airplane. Like I'm going to have any time to read between wrestling my two squirrels, cleaning up spills and getting May to stop flirting with the creepy guy who will, and always is, sitting in front of us...

10. It's really hot and humid today, which makes me very glad I will be leaving soon.
