tobermory's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Who wears short-shorts? Not me. So, I�m not a Mormon today. There was no Mormonizing, proselytizing, or evangelizing at all before, during or after dinner which was a huge relief. As I said yesterday, I think that not only are they smart enough to realize that we�d be a lost cause, but it would make for some pretty awkward neighboring. Grace was said before dinner but I don�t have any problem with that � as long as no-one asks me to lead I�m fine with bowing my head and listening and mumbling the amen at the end. Dinner was tasty and I managed to restrain myself from having the second helping that I desperately wanted, so all in all it turned out to be a very nice evening. Mike was kind enough to point out that the hottie doctor from The Last King of Scotland was also Mr. Tumnus in that Narnia movie. Time to move that up on my queue � he�s yummy and Mike says he spends most of his Narnia screen time half nekkid. Of course the other half is goat legs but hey, we all have little flaws and I�m sure he rocks the extra hairy legs and cloven hooves like nobody�s business. I looked him up in imdb.com and he also plays the romantic lead in a movie called Penelope and I think I�ll have to line that up on the queue so that I have it in hand while Steve is out of town next month. Yum-my. I need to run out at lunch today and try to find a pair of shorts. I looked online at Sarah Jessica Parker�s Bitten collection at Steve & Barry�s, but none of the shorts really grabbed me. Than I looked at Old Navy and came to the conclusion that there must be a fabric shortage in Sri Lanka or wherever it is that they have most of their clothes made because there were only 2 or 3pairs of shorts that had an inseam over 5�. I may have lost about 15 lbs, but I�m not quite ready for short-shorts yet � that would mean displaying my least favorite part of my leg to the public and I can�t see that happening. So that knocks out two of the low priced options near work leaving either Marshalls or Carson Pirie Scott. I might try Carson�s because I�m afraid if I go to Marshalls I�ll come away with three pairs of shoes that don�t necessarily go with anything I own but were too good of a deal to pass up, a purse by some designer because hey! designer purse at Marshalls!, and a bunch of unneeded workout gear so that I can prolong the time between loads of laundry even further, and no shorts because who has time to locate and then try on shorts when shoes are so much easier? Carson�s carries all of those diversions too, but I usually don�t care for their selection so it�s not much of a temptation. I know someone who works at that particular Carson�s store and while it�s the chain�s most profitable store it is also their store with the highest median age of shoppers. I don�t want to sound ageist, but in general, old ladies = boring, sensible shoes that don�t interest me. And yes, my friend did confirm that they skew the merchandise to meet the clientele so it�s not just in my imagination. But, I guess little old ladies have granddaughters because they have a huge juniors department where I�m hoping that may have more than one or two pairs of shorts with an inseam to cover the pale and poochy area inside of my thighs. Think I�ll have any luck?
Breakfast: Kix. We had a meeting scheduled during my yogurt time so I skipped it today and just munched the Kix. 1:21 p.m. - 2007-07-24 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
