Oh, Stop it!!

I don’t know what I’m bumping to cause those OLD entries to show up as my latest, but I swear, really, they aren’t – I’m just strolling down memory lane.

In 2007 news – holy fuck, it’s OCTOBER???!?!?!!?? I mean, okay, obviously that happened about 11 days ago, but DUDE! This year feels like a blur – WHooooosssshhh! Which ya know, is one of the reasons I’m strolling down memory lane – it’s amazing how much has happened (and hasn’t happened) over the few years I have in OD. Okay – I’ve BEEN here for seven years, but I’ve winnowed down my diary a couple of times between now and then.

I’m totally not ready for it to be cold yet – I don’t have many inbetweeny clothes (because I’m HUGE! Oh my god, I’m soooo fat), and it’s still too warm for winter clothes.

I’m in love with skirts (floorlength ones) but none of my winter skirts are long enough. Can you make nice skirts out of pillproof fleece? I’m thinking they might look like wool.

I don’t have any shoes – I’ve (finally) released my addiction to heels (I think it’s been the long skirt thing – I don’t care so much about how my legs look *laugh*) and I’ve been wearing thongs/crocs all summer (when I’m not barefoot altogether) and – my toes are getting cold! I think I’m going to do ballet slipper type things….

Gahhhhh! I need to go clothes shopping (or sew) and I so don’t feel like doing EITHER.

As I’ve been meandering down memory lane, I’ve stumbled across the two (or three – maybe four??) different weight loss/health efforts I’ve made, and ya know what? I suck. *lol* I mean – seriously, I’m literally the EXACT SAME WEIGHT I was 5 years ago. Which, I suppose could be a good thing, if that weight wasn’t so damn overweight that it’s insane, AND if I hadn’t lost close to 90 pounds inbetween there.

*sigh*

I finally broke down and ordered the full price treadmill – It’s hate to walk around the yard as I have to coat myself with OFF. It stinks.

Speaking of stinky – I’ve stopped using deodorant! *l* I use this bar from Lush (http://www.lush.com – beware, you will fall in LOVE) and it’s WONDERFUL. I smell – good. Human, rather than some chemicalized version of a spring rain coated with baby powder.

Urm. What else?

I have about another 200 books I need to add to my LibraryThing – I love bookclosests.com and the thriftstore – oh, love! And I refuse to shelve them, so they are scattered alllll over the place – *headshake*

I should most likely do that this weekend.

So, how are ya’ll?

Yeah that was odd, but I figured that it was an OD burp. 🙂 I am .. bleh. But I am sure you know that if you’ve read me lately. I will live though, right? Don’t we all? *HUG*

RYN – yeah I know what you mean. It’s cool.. I don’t worry about note trolling really. And sometimes I get to where I am not reading a lot, so it’s all good. *HUG* Thanks for being around, though. I like ya, after all. 😉

Break On Through.

For fall shoes, I bought these http://www.selfesteemusa.com/Portals/0/Gallery/Album/32/Lid.jpg but in cream with a brown plaid strap. I think they look cute with skirts. I also have to get some knee socks to keep my legs warm!

I love Lush so much! I am totally obsessed. I’m so glad you are, too. My ‘can’t live withouts’ include Honey I Washed the Kids soap, Angels on Bare Skin, Fairy Jasmine Bath Bomb… and rather too many more to name here without embarrassment.

good to see I’m not the only feeling like this past year has been one big, fast forwarded blur. I had switched to a non-chemical deodorant a couple years back (the crystal style one) but had to switch back to regular gross deodorant during the pregnancy as nothing else seemed to work.

Aromacreme? Aromorant? Teo? WHAT are you USING!? Girl, don’t use it after you shave without applying some powder first. And if your pits turn black, exfoliate like mad.

RYN: Black pits is the second most common complaint about Lush’s deodorants. All of them. They darken dead skin so if your pits arent perfectly exfoliated (And this is coming from someone who exfoliates EVERYTHING, ALL THE TIME or she is all lumpy and bumpy), they will darken and be ugh. Well, they MIGHT be ugh. They sure as shit turned maysa and my pits black, it was gross. After developing a rash three times to lush deos, I stopped trying. I always get a rash when using natural deodorant, I have no idea why! Ill figure it out eventually, until then, its back to Dove 🙁
