1. ATTENTION WOMEN WITHOUT WAISTS! GO TO TARGET! THERE ARE MANY, MANY PAIRS OF PANTS THERE THAT WILL LOOK GREAT ON YOU!!!!
So, I'm a little upset about this morning's shopping trip. I wish my body type was the one people were designing clothes for, but it's not. I'm all for women of all different sizes and shapes being able to find clothes that fit them ... and clearly that isn't happening. Especially for those of us blessed with glorious amounts of t&a. Yeah, people who make low-rise jeans - MY ASS DOES NOT FIT IN YOUR PANTS. PLEASE MAKE PANTS FOR PEOPLE WITH BUTTS TOO. KTHX.
I self-medicated by buying some yarn.
I may have gone nuts in JoAnn's. I went in there to get iron-on denim patches to fix the crotches on my TWO favorite pairs of jeans (the only ones that fit me properly) and came out quite a bit poorer. But not that much poorer, because guess what - and here's PSA number 2 - SUGAR n CREAM WAS ON SALE FOR $1.87 A BALL! And they have these new SUPER SIZE balls (seriously - they call them that. super size, that is. I added the balls part just to be kind of crass.) so it's that much better value. I will be making very many dishcloths with these. The big guy on top there is a giant skein of bernat handicrafter cotton "naturals," which was a mere $7.99.
Funny thing is, these sugar n cream balls fit PERFECTLY into my wine-holding pig:
so now he can hold wine bottles OR yarn. I want that pig to earn his keep around here!!!
And in non-yarn related news, I now have only one paper left and I'm through with this accursed quarter. Hooray!!!
The wine/yarn holding pig seems to have become very versatile!! Go Piggy!
