2. Dawn is no longer the reigning champion of What's This Wednesday. Heather blew the competition wide open. This is anybody's game at this point.. dicey, folks, dicey. I do find it interesting how many of you actually rush to participate when there isn't any prize. That makes it fun. Keep it up.
3. I entered a Pioneer Woman contest for boots. They're beautiful boots. Have you met my calves? I have. They are giant. They are not boot friendly. Not to mention that to wear said boots I would need skinny jeans. Have you met my thighs? They are proportionally related to my calves. I did not think this through. Good thing I will never win.
3(2). If I do win, I will need calf surgery. There is such a thing, right?
3(3). I may need an intervention on the contest thing.
4. My rings are too big. They used to be snug when I was larger. Now? I fiddle with them endlessly. The cooler weather isn't helping. I'm pretty sure that if I fiddle with them so much that I end up losing my wedding or engagement ring, my husband will harm me.
This just in: he has confirmed he would only be upset. Then, he would get over it. That's verbatim. Doesn't get more real than that.
5. I like root beer.
6. My mother's Facebook status mentioned snow last night. I quickly reminded her that having snow on the west coast before we've had snow out east is unCanadian. My sense of all that is right in the world is once again foiled by that stuff called snow.
7. Someone I know got a kitten this week.
This is the portion of this post where I'm supposed to say that I'm not super jealous, totally in love or experiencing any kind of kitten fever.
Len has tried to me remind what it was like when Sacha was a kitten. I've blocked that. Bring me the sweet kitten love. Look at that nose... those eyes.
Help me, Rhonda.
8. And now, for a fun poll. I can't seem to make it embed in the post, so it's over there on the right. Resist the urge to cheat. It will help you sleep at night.
Thema, I too am a member of the ridiculous-calf club. I would LOVE to wear boots that are taller than the ankle kind, but my dang calves... they're HUGE. (or at least bigger than they should be for my 7.5 sized foot. Enough rambling. Okay, so I write to tell you that I was recently in the UK and they were TIGHTS with their boots. SOO much better than skinny jeans because, well, they're not as restricting... SOOO if/when you find a pair of boots that will pull up/zip up over the calves, you can wear tights with them (and a nice skirt). Or leggings! Did I forget to mention leggings??
ReplyDeleteps. the kitten is the CUTEST!!
Thelma, kittens are very, very cute, and sometimes very destroiing. An other thing you must realise that female cats are not very tolerant to other cats in their terratory. They will fight, ore urinate in the house.Male cats are more tolerant and even they have problems sometimes whit other cats in their homes.

I want a kitty. The end.
ReplyDeleteWV: trelamo - Rache's desire for a kitty is tre huge.
I've always had that boot/calf issue, too. I haven't tried any on since I lost weight, so perhaps I could squeeze into them now...?
ReplyDeleteI haven't been able to wear my wedding ring for several months now. I quit after it fell off in the bathroom at work. Now I wear a $15 fake. I recommend you do the same until you can afford to have yours sized. :D
I hope you continue to Schmozzle forever. They are so reliable for making me smile! Thanks, Thelma :)
ReplyDeletePS I love rootbeer!
ReplyDeleteSame calf problem here. But I did find a pair of boots a couple of years ago that have the right amount of stretch: at the top edge on either side there's a wedge of elastic.
ReplyDeleteBut I usually wear them with skirts. Jeans, no matter how skinny will not fit within the boot. I have worn pants over the boot, but it does lose some of the booteffect.
I will have to consider the legging suggestion....
