hellooo friday! from a chubby chick!

wow what a beautiful day! woke up alone this morning as all were away last night! Kate is touring our nations capitol. The bus ride there has been eventful as they experienced a flat tire early thursday morning after having traveled all night. She called to tell me they were on the road again AND she had left her phone charger at the burger king that they were at during the repair process. ugh! luckily i was able to locate a verizon store 2 blocks from her hotel and they are shipping over a charger for her. matt went home after school yesterday with grandma van ness. i called this morning to see if he wanted to go with me shopping, come home or what he wanted and without surprise he wanted to stay the day with them. i noticed on his facebook status that he had been farming with grandpa and grandma told me he'd been riding his 4-wheeler already this morning so i'm not surprised he's gonna spend the rest of the day.

awoke to a lot of sirens this morning. that's not a pleasant sound...you know someone's day/life is not going to be the same. on the up side it's beautiful out. today's high is suppose to be 74. ahhhhh.

i bought some new shoes yesterday with hope that they would ease the back/leg pain i experience while i'm working. i do think it was a bit more comfortable last night. being fat doesn't help ;P

Speaking of being fat...I'd like to tell the makers of fat clothing a few things. If ever there was an industry in need of HELP this one would be it. Issue #1 the models you're using to model the fashions you've designed ARE NOT FAT. they're bigger boned at best. i'm yet to see one with a stomach that sticks out farther than her boobs. and news flash...we chubby chicks usually don't cinch our clothing in the back to take up slack...there usually isn't much slack to work with. Issue #2 stripes are nice...how about making them vertical. we don't need to wear what appears to be fabric hula hoops! really...it's not a good look for anyone over a size 7. Issue #3 please please please learn how to make pants for a size 18. very few chubby chicks have a waist so it really isn't necessary for there to be one in the pants. perhaps you could use the toddler pant idea & have adjusters inside the waist band for those fortunate to be able to still find a waist that is in existence. the next pant problem is the length between the end of the zipper & the crotch. granted some women suffer from a sever front butt but i really don't feel they're the majority. where the additional room is needed is around the hips not down the hips. Issue #4 skinny jeans...hahaha! who are you fool'n. if your body has matured and exceeded size...13/14 "skinny jeans" just become "too tight shoved my fat into these jeans" jeans. not a good look. Issue #5 prints, jewels, colors...i've been made to feel like my only options are loud, obnoxious colors, prints, flowers (ick) that have all been bedazzeled. i'm large...what? you can't see me coming? you need a heads up from a polychromatic moving forsythia with jewels dripping form it's petals so that you don't bump into me? ugh!!!! the worst. Issue #6 see through fabric. hummmm really? you want to see it? perhaps is a secret diet method fat folk aren't aware of. i will say this, speaking only for myself...when i see another chubbys' chubbies exposed either through fabric or lack there of i pretty much loose my appetite. Issue #7 tops...now i'd think this one would be a no brainer. you're going over rolls...fabric gets used up to make it over those therefore more fabric is needed to get over all the rolls. longer shirts please & thank you.

well, that's it for me today. i've a swim suit to buy (interesting), packing to do and then it's off to work. final thought...i love my wonderful husband.
