hubby's funnies (#2)...

i know it's hard to believe he could have another funny moment, but here it is!

WARNING: contains references to partial nudity and bodily functions. continue at your own risk.

so we're getting ready to turn in for the night. for some reason i've decided to wear my t-shirt and scivies to bed. justin is on the crapper in the little toilet room (across from the mirror above the sink) in our master bathroom just off the bedroom (yes, you needed to know all of that). okay, so i'm chilling on the bed when some mysterious particle attaches itself to my contact. i hightail my keester into the bathroom ignoring the serious wedgie i've just managed to give myself, and bend over the counter as far as i can to get as close to the mirror as possible (logically). behind me, hubby hears the slight comotion, pokes his head around the corner, and says "::gasp:: your butt is eating your underwear!"

and as much as i did not want to laugh, i did.

full-figured and full of...

okay, it had to happen sooner or later... my first slam post.

let me just put it out there... i am overweight... a "full-figured" woman, if you will. the moment i actually started taking some action against my state of full-figuredness is the moment i was able to finally admit that i am, in fact, full-figured.

that being said... i was searching all over the web for the perfect bathing suit for "fuller" women. not fun, by the way. as a full-figured woman, what would YOU look for in a bathing suit? maximum coverage right? something not so embarrassing to you and not so offensive to others? something like a moo-moo you'd wear in a pool, right? yeah, me too. so i'm looking for something specific, obviously... some kind of swimdress, perhaps. something that doesn't have a plunging neckline or backline. the search is producing mediocre results. i did find a really great one, but it was sold out (of course). and then i remember... lane bryant! they're a plus-size department store! so i hightail it over to lanebryant.com to discover they carry two (2!) swimdresses... and they suck. lane bryant is the biggest joke i've encountered in my endeavor. and thus the title for my blog...

a quickie...

...to keep everyone posted. if you haven't heard already, justin started his job at honeywell on july 14th. he loves it... and so do i! he loves his schedule, the people, the pay... he says they really seem to care about their employees and are always trying to show it. i love all of the same things he does... my two favorites being 1) that he finally has a job he likes going to as it makes him a happier person all around and 2) the benefits as that make ME a happier person all around! we've been uninsured for some time now, so to go from no benefits to great benefits is an even greater perk. it also means we're another step closer to having kids, since that was one of the bigger reasons for postponing. it's all very exciting and i wanted to share it with yall before it became old news. more later...
