I have called it in. I have decided that the body has changed too much and I will not fit into my suit-y type work clothes ever again. For one thing, I bought them on my way up from being on the Xenadrine for 3+ years and for two things, I don't have the dicipline to get down to 10-12 anytime soon. And three, I want new clothes anyway. So, up onto the Bay of e they go.

sigh.

Damn...is it horrible that I wish you were selling the 14-16s? ;)

It's what I'll be buying love. I have 1 14 suit, though. Ann Taylor.

Yeah, I figured.

Yay new clothes, Aimee! Shopping, fun. All that good stuff.

No, as Raq says, I've been here for a bit. Maybe a few months. I'm not particularly verbose. I can be terse.... once in flight school I was even laconic.

It must be my habit of skipping when I've gotten further behind than triple-digits that makes you seem new to me. Ah well, glad to meet you.

Lucky clothes, all wrapped around naked Aimee...

Hi! I really hate my life!(I thought it would look less gloomy with a "!" but nsm) Anybody want it...it's a little "as is" but I've hardly used it...one owner, only used it to protest on Sundays. Free shipping?) I thought somebody here that liked to fix stuff would find it a challenge...fix-up special. ETA: oddly enough, I now have a bra with a jingle bell on the cleavage...just the thing for the woman who has nothing, hmm?

Stop being so damned funny when you're hating your life, erika. It wrecks that miraculous moment when we all bestow our sincerely typed brackets upon you.

erika, you want me to list it with my too small suits on eBay?

OK, we need to plan our R&R. The choices are Washington DC (of course), England, Germany, Italy, or East Coast Canada. Votes?

And you've ruled out DC? Booo!!

"The southern right whale has testicles that weigh half a ton and a twelve-foot long prehensile penis! That isn't about you!" Me: I think you mean that you hope it isn't about me

Hah! The Wally Report is quite entertaining.

for some reason I was shopping at the Christmas Tree Shop (a place I don't really go ever) with meara and Perkins

Secret unseasonal Christmas shopping with Nora. Hmm.

major accomplishment of the day yesterday: I ran 9 miles on the first day of my period

See, this is why I am not juliana. Becuase I would think running 9 miles would be an accomplishment ANY day. Whereas she's crazy, and thinks it's only an accomplishment if there's something else standing in her way too. (And how hot was it? Probably damn hot)

I didn't want to flaunt the bogarting of the JZ

But if you don't flaunt, how will we know to be jealous?

God knows, I've had to listen to her breathless "I'm going on a date with Jen!" all week

But can you blame her? I'd be doing that too if I were going on a date with Jen!!

I'm afraid I'm a horrible mom/person to have brought her into this world with all of these problems

Don't be silly, Aimee. You're awesome. Even if you made a silly money mistake, that has SO nothing to do with being a good parent. Which you are.

Even tho they took the car and sold it at auction, I still owe the remaining difference. I have paid off roughly $2000. I still owe $4000

Dude, WTF? DId they sell it at an auction only their friends were at?? "Hey, Bob, wanna come to an auction, buy a car cheap? Awesome..."

they are my OTP and let no man tear asunder what the cafe au lait hath brought together

I think I can get behind you on that one, Cass.

I am in Elgin, IL. It is thrilling, I tell you. Well, actually I'm having a good time, but the burbs are a little frightening. We had an amusing time last night trying to find a place to get some food at 2AM, and ending up at the largest grocery store i have EVER been in. And when we couldn't find the hummus, asked a guy stocking fruit, who said "Hummus? I don't think we carry those...". Um. (We eventually found it).
