It's becoming increasingly rare that I get to see some of my dearest friends. As we age we move physically further apart. However, this weekend is being spent with some of the people that I love more than anything.
Like these two nerds who fell asleep on my mother's shoulders as we left a wedding.
Great shows, dinners, jokes, and wonderful company. I couldn't be happier!
I hope all of you are having wonderful weekends too.
So of late my clothes have been falling apart, getting worn out, etc to the point that kids at school were beginning to notice, and it's been decently upsetting for me.
Today, though, I was taken out by the boyfriend's mother and we went clothes shopping. Now as anyone who isn't below a size 12 will tell you, clothes shopping can be a terrifying experience - very stressful, uncertain, and sometimes downright unpleasant.
Despite my fear, I actually had a really good time. I'm still not where I'd like to be, but I instantly noticed I was fitting into sizes I had not before, and even things that did not exactly fit were actually able to -go on-, which is a thrilling experience. I tried on things I never would have in the past, and though I didn't buy any, I'm starting to think about skirts and (gasp) dresses to wear!
After purchasing two pairs of pants, some socks, and a bra (insert angel choir here), I'm feeling more optimistic about clothes than I have in years. I wasn't sure before we went, but this trip has revealed that I have indeed lost weight - about three bust (not cup) sizes and two to three waist sizes.
That's really weird, but at the same really exciting! I can't wait to be able to afford even better, nicer clothing. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
And I love too Be still, my indelible friend That love soon might end You are unbreaking And be known in its aching Though quaking Shown in this shaking Though crazy Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby

Good clothes make any girl feel better. You should go get your hair done, too. You'll feel a million dollars
if you've lost that much in your band size, get a GOOD bra re-fitting done - my band went down but my cup went UP the last time I lost weight.
Also - grats on the weight loss!
That's because the cup size is relative to the band size. If you go down a band size and your breasts are still the same size, you will go up a cup size. Someone with a 30DD bra size will have the same size breasts as someone with a 36B.

OMG's too much woman speak for us simple men. We like boobs. Nuff said.
I am currently substituting not only at my favorite school, but with my favorite group of kids all week! They absolutely are terrified of their normal teacher, so they're practically (or as close as middle schoolers get) angels for me. Going to be a -tiring- week, but a good one. I am feeling awesome in new clothing, as well!
I also had a student give me a cupcake today at the end of lunch. She then informed me I was the -only- teacher she gave one too.
Adorable. :x

Paper plane throwing competition today at work. One of the largest financial organizations in the world and this is how we spend a Tuesday.
I know the feeling, work for one of the big evil financial organizations, and we find some interesting ways to kill time when we run out of stuff to do...
I'm honestly unsure if this is a rave or a rant, but since I left the office early, I guess it's a rave.
What is it about mysterious migraines?
Felt it start in the morning, and it hits me hard after lunch so that I suffer through 5 hours trying to get as much work as I can done. Finally throw in the towel like half an hour before knockoff time, get on the train. Feel sick for the entire 1 hour commute, nearly throw up twice. Come home, have a shower. Suddenly feel fine. wtf body wtf?
So that good news is, I'm feeling better. The bad news is... well, there's no bad news except I'm thoroughly perplexed :S

I pretty much crashed last night. I ate a cheese burger the size of a small car, and a bucket of fries. Literally, a bucket.
Been on the dash diet (essentially eat less than 1500mg of sodium each day) to get my blood pressure back in line. Measured 123/83 last night with 9% bodyfat. #getshredded
I'm spending the rest of my work day geocaching. What a terrible way to spend the day!
Watching grebes, geese, and lizards while hiking an overlook.
Edit: look who I just met!
Edit: woot! As I hiked down the trail, an early owl began to call. I spent the next five minutes calling back and forth with a Barred owl. Today is awesome.
Geocaching actually sounds pretty fun. I've been wanting to try it, but I'm too lazy to drive anywhere, and in Oklahoma, you pretty much have to drive to get anywhere. Cool snake, too!

One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important

All work and no play makes Jack a disgruntled employee who comes back to shoot up the place.
Corporations have learned.
