Ash the Mighty

Ah, the downside.

I knew there had to be one. I’ve been dropping weight, and while I definitely needed it and there’s still A LOT more to go that needs to be dropped, I’ve found the downside to losing the weight: I literally walk right out of my pants.

I tend to just have two or so pairs of blue jeans at a time that I rotate and wear until they are destroyed and then buy a new pair because I just generally find it ridiculous that clothing is so expensive. So I took my smallest pair and washed and dried them as dry as I could in an attempt to shrink them up, and still they are too loose. “Wear a belt,” you say? Yeah, belt is too big too. I suppose I could punch new holes in it.

I know I could go buy new clothes, but please refer to previous statement: too effing expensive. I’m trying to save my pennies for Xmas gifts and a trip that I’m taking to Vegas for my birthday (not to mention that I just bought myself an early birthday present that pretty handily cleaned me out). So instead I just complain. Because I can.

Just noticed

That it has been a long time since I’ve blogged. So much has happened since I last spoke that I don’t really even know where to go or what to say. I could say “Yay, Obama won and Palin lost” (because really I was voting against her more than against McCain or even for Obama specifically, but only because I really do think she would end up president before too long and we’ve already had a complete moron this decade we don’t need another, thanks), but really that drum has been beaten. I could say “Oy vey, the economy,” but that’ll only depress me and pretty much everyone else. Or I could tell you all about how I’m a magnet for the detritus of bad luck and just random and utter shit that the Universe wants to throw at me, but half of you would say “yeah, whatever,” and the other half would realize that I’m probably right and stop hanging out with me for your own protection . . . and I’m already lonely enough as it is!

So I made it both to and from Colorado safely, though barely. It’s a story that is really long and boring and of interest to probably two people in the whole world other than me so I won’t bore others with it. I happily began a new shift and a new position within my department at work when I got back only to not actually get trained in the new position and to have my nice Monday through Friday day shift moved to a Tuesday through Saturday shift two weeks later. That was AWESOME. I just adore my job/boss. And of my own drama, that’s about all I can share. There’s a WHOLE lot of other stuff going on, but I can’t really share it because it’s not mine. I’ve become involved, but it wasn’t mine to begin with so I can’t exactly disseminate it to the interwebz.

So that’s my life. Small wonder I’m not blogging about it, eh? Good times.

Hope everyone else is doing well! I promise I’m not THAT bad! Just the bug this month. Maybe next month I’ll get to be the windshield.
