oh…ummm…hi!
Guess I haven’t blogged much lately. Oops. But really, I swear! I haven’t been doing anything exciting! Promise!
Work has been busy, but interesting. Learning some database stuff, which is good - new skills are good.
I bought two pair of jeans from Lany Bryant, which has overhauled the sizing system completely for their line of jeans. Kind of annoying, because I had to get MEASURED and boy wasn’t THAT FUN? But kind of cool because I can say HEY I WEAR A SIZE 6, SO W00T! Last time I could say that I was a kid and wore size 6x (never understood the x. none of the other sizes had x. could someone explain that to me?) I love the jeans, they fit perfectly in the hips and butt (which NEVER happens) except that for some reason they smell like funky mulch. Even after a wash. Why, Lane Bryant? Why do your jeans smell like funky mulch? I am going to have to soak these suckers in febreez, dammit.
I’ve been knitting, but sadly the two projects I’m working on are SOOPER SEKRIT! Which is FUN! But BORING FROM A BLOG PERSPECTIVE.
OH hell, I’ll show some pictures anyway:
wow, right?
AND ALSO:
awesome!
Surely I’ll have something more to say this week. Still seething about politics right there. This isn’t a political blog, and I’ve never been much of a pundit, so I’ll just try to avoid…
HEY YOU STUPID BITCH IF YOU’RE GONNA KEEP SAYING THAT YOUR QUALIFICAITONS TO LEAD INVOLVE YOUR STELLER FAMILY LIFE, THEN DON’T CRY A BITCH FIT WHEN THAT FAMILY LIFE IS QUESTIONED. AND IF YOU KEEP TALKING ABOUT HOW BEING A PTA HOCKEY MOM MAKES YOU QUALIFIED TO LEAD, THEN I KNOW TWO PEOPLE , ONE OF WHOM IS MY MOM, WHO ARE IMMANENTLY MORE QUALIFIED THAN YOU. DID YOU HOST LUNCHEONS? BAKE SOME CUPCAKES? WELL MY MOM DROVE TO HARRISBURG EVERY WEEK TO LOBBY FOR EDUCATION LEGISLATION WHEN SHE WAS IN THE PTA. WHAT DID YOU DO, AGAIN? ANYTHING AT ALL? NO? I DIDN’T THINK SO.
what? what the fuck just happened? I feel dizzy.
Anywho, surely I will be back to my old blogging self soon.
Ugh………..yeah, I’m still seething too. Ewwwwwwww!!!! Love the new vajayjay ravatar! Priceless!
Yeah, I never understood the 6x thing, either.
But OMG. The LB jeans. Oh, the love I have for them. And they are making some of their dress slacks with the same sizing system now, too. They fit better than any jeans I’ve owned for a good 15 years, easily.
And yeah… my mom would fit on that “more qualified” list, too. Hell, I was president of the French club in junior high. Does that make me qualified?
That makes your mom kind of a community organizer, then, right? So heck, she’s qualified for PRESIDENT!
And don’t get me started about Sarah. This whole politics thing makes me want to go live in the wood with the coyotes.
Did you see that Jon Stewart clip with quotes from Karl Rove and others?

Kinda says it all.
Vote Bob Barr. The Republicans or Democrats? It’s a false choice. It’s paper or plastic… you are still at the super market.
He can’t win, but he CAN get more than five per cent of the vote. Look, I know you are no where near a libertarian, big “L” or otherwise. I do know, however, that you are smart enough to realize that a man that says he is going to change Washington, and then selects a 36 year Washington veteran as his running mate… is a little wonky.
Hey, that’s what I’m doing Scoot! I think he’ll get a decent percent in SC. I’m voting against Big Business running our government by voting for Barr. Voting for Ralph Nader is also a great idea.
Ooooh, can I vote for your mom?
Excellent blurry knittage!
And why would I totally want to WASTE MY VOTE COMPLETELY???
no thanks. For now, I will stick to the party that doesn’t want to control my lady bits. I am perfectly capable of handling them myself, thank-you-very-much. When the libertarians get a clue about that, MAYBE I’ll reconsider my voting strategies.
Oh, for the love of God. Voting for either the Republican or the Democrat is as much of a “waste” of your vote as it is for voting for Bob Barr. Moreover, it appears you have no clue as to what the Libertarian position is on abortion.
Look it up. The Libertarian party is pro-choice.
Look, do you really know why Clinton’s tenure is looked upon favorably by so many Americans? It was because the congress was in hands of the Republicans.
The Republicans then had six years of majority government when Clinton left, and the Shrub took over. We all know what a nightmare that was. Then, in 2006, The Democrats took over both houses. Things started to get a little better. Not because of Democratic values, but because of divided government. It looks like Obama may very well win the White House, and Congress will become even more blue.
You’ll see what a nightmare that will be. If you vote for Obama, in some small way, you’ll be responsible for it, too.
Vote Bob Barr. In the very least, you’ll be able to say, “it wasn’t MY fault”.
nope, sorry. I make a habit out of voting for the person I believe in, who believes in the same things I do, and who will get those things done. I’m not going to throw away my vote to make a statement, and I would never try to cop out with a “well don’t blame ME, I voted for someone ELSE” that’s bullshit.
My beliefs don’t come anywhere close to libertarianism, so it is highly unlikely I would ever find myself voting for one, even if I was trying to make a “point.”
I may have to do a wander thru the Lane Bryant here while I let the PS go play over at Menard’s (big-ass regional hardware-etc store chain like Home Depot)–I hate clothes shopping but if it results in sexay and a pair of jeans that won’t push so hard on my lumbar scar that I can wear them all day, I’m in!
And I isn’t saying a word about politics the rest of the election–tired of people pot-shotting bloggers in their comment sections and Homey’s already tired of playing that.
I saw something yesterday that said, “Jesus was a community organizer; Pilate was a Governor.”
LOVED IT!
Haven’t tried the new LB jeans yet. Nervous about the sizing thing. Feh.
Oh, yes, Aimee… because nothing brings over the moderate religious center to your cause quite like blasphemy…
that’s not really blasphemy, actually.
Comparing one’s self to the messiah of all humanity and your political opponent as his executioner may not be hard and fast “blasphemy”, but it sure as shit can offend a hell of a lot of people.
well it’s a damn good thing I have a sense of humor and am not a stupid humorless twat, now, isn’t it?
Honestly I can not vote for Obama for the simple reason he wants to give us the same healthcare that England has where if you have a form of cancer with a survival rate of less then 50% they just don’t treat the cancer. Not saying McCain is any better but dang Palin looks hot in a librarian sort of way
