Thanks for the fish

for a pair of pants that looks good on my weird ass body. I’ve already tried on every pair of pants in the women’s department at Macy’s. Then I hit the eddie bauer outlet and the gap, now I’m just online shopping. Ordered 3 pairs from Eddie Bauer. I really like the look of straight legged pants, you know the kind that is made for women with no shape… Fortunately it finally dawned on me that I have shape, and a whole helluva lot of it. I’ve noticed a lot of retailers are marketing things toward “curvy” women, which is good. Now I’m not going to make any blanket statements over what is good or bad for a woman to look like.. because I have and do know women who would like more curves. Let’s face it, we can’t have it all. I’ve got boobs and an hourglass figure, but I also have cellulite and a saggy butt. So be it. Even with 10 or so extra pounds, I get away with skirts and high heels pretty well, but when it comes to pants, I just look like a frump with a saggy ass.

But I got my first shipment of pants from my online binge. This one from Eddie Bauer. They are work pants, a little frumpy, but they are soooo comfy, that I’m keeping one pair and sending back 2 pairs. My next shipment is coming from Banana republic, but I have a feeling they’re not going to fit. Just as well as I could use the $250 credit on my credit card bill. Where can I try next? If I can find a pair of pants that really looked good on me, I’d pay a lot of money. But I can’t think of anywhere else to try.

The weight loss war began today. We’ve decided on 8 pounds. I did pretty good today. But now there is some red wine and yogurt covered pretzels involved… I have a total chick weekend planned. Exciting! I’ve got Jane Austen Book Club and Atonement lined up for my DVD viewing pleasure… along with the remainder of the Mists of Avalon. Other than that, I have no plans except sleeping in.

Some snow has melted, revealing parts of the garden I haven’t seen since late fall (did I say taht last night?). The two crocuses that I can see have some pale yellow buds on them. There were 2 deer out there this morning, which means it must be time to spray some Liquid Fence on my bushes. Last spring they devoured my puff ball bush and some junipers before I realized what was happening. Puff ball got butchered by the snow, but I have high hopes for her. I think it is a type of chaemocyparis (however you spell that). so cute! I never even cut back my perennials in teh fall because we had such an early snowfall and it never went away. It would be nice if it were warm and sunny this weekend, but it still feels like winter here, as depressing as that is.

I’m throwing a bridal shower for my friend at work and have to plan it. It’s stressful. I don’t like doing things like that. Too much pressure. Basically I don’t like doing anything where other people are involved. Still no cute guys at work. Where did they go? It’s depressing when no cute guy smiles at you in the course of an entire day. Or week. Maybe I can get my husband to smile at me. Hey! Hey you! Over here! YOoooooo hooooo! He’s playing with his new macro lens for his camera. My eyes hurt. Actually they have hurt for 2 months now. Ramble ramble ramble. Time for a movie… tonight is “no country for old men.”
