Rambling about clothes

I filled up the kiddie pool this morning for the first time this season.  I’m so glad I did.  The boys had a blast this afternoon splashing and jumping.  Too bad the weather is going to be too cold for it for the next few days.  I only partially filled it because the little coupler that we have to connect our two water hoses popped apart.  I had to fill the pool closer to the bottom of the house (where the yard is more sloped)because the hose wasnt long enough to fill it where I normally put it.  Fun was had, so that is all that matters.  Public pools usually open up Memorial Day weekend around here, but the weather is supposed to be in the 60s, so it looks like we won’t be going swimming. 

I ordered another pair of shorts from Old Navy this morning.   It is the exact same pair I ordered a few weeks ago. Their clothes usually run a tad bit big, so I ordered a smaller size.  The shorts somewhat fit, but they are tighter than I like for them to be, so I am ordering a size up to wear while we are on vacation.  I hope the ones I ordered today aren’t going to be too loose on me and hopefully the smaller size will fit better as I lose more weight.  I only have like 2 pair of shorts that fit comfortably, so I need to pick up a few more pairs.  I bought a new tank top at Rue 21 ( I think that is the name of the store?) a while back and I absolutely LOVE it.  I cannot find where I have put it, and it is driving me crazy.  I don’t have many clothes that fit right now, so it is extra annoying to be losing ones that do.  It is one of the bad parts of losing weight:  having to deal with buying new clothes (which will only be worn temporarily), and not having many clothes that fit. I should probably try on my swimsuit again before we head to the beach to make sure it will still work.

I cleaned out the boys dresser and put away the fall/winter clothes.  They are seriously lacking in summer clothes.  We need to set aside some funds, and buy some new outfits for us all.  And ofcourse, if I happen to get this job at the university, I will have to spend a small fortune on a more professional looking wardrobe.  Thats all IF though, they havent even posted the position yet.

I made the yummiest burgers for dinner yesterday.  We grilled sirloin burgers, and topped them with cheese, and grilled oinion and baby bella mushrooms (no onions on mine), and toasted the buns.  Omg they were delicious.  I could have ate 2 of them!  I’m going to make them again for dinner today.  Jamie made a blueberry cobbler that was pretty good too.  He changed up the recipe a bit.  I was surprised that he was being adventurous with cooking.   He has been cooking here and there lately.  We were together for YEARS before he had ever cooked for me.  I think I had just had Owen and he made me grilled cheese and tomato soup.  Then nothing for a couple of years.  Here lately he has grilled hotdogs, made me a french omelette and pancakes and now a cobbler.  I like it when he cooks 😛
