Random Thursday: Does this butt make my jeans look small???

Oh.
Em.
Goodness gracious, sweet Baby Jesus. 

That is what ran through my brain as I tried to figure out WHYYYYY I could not get my jeans (the same size 10 skinnies that fit so great, a mere 3 weeks ago) up over my tail this morning.  The Hubs reassured me that I was looking "much better" than when I started this new workout program four weeks ago.  He observed that my waist looks smaller, and my booty is rounder.  Of course, he's got no complaints.  Who am I mad at???

Voice of Reason says:  Why you trippin?  You know you are sore as crap today.  Yesterday, you were whining that it hurt to sit down.  So there is quite possibly a whole lotta water being retained in your glutes and thighs, thanks to DOMS.  Or else you are building muscle, and it's probably pushing out the fat before burning that biznatch. And don't forget that your body composition is changing.  You are eating well, working out HARD and generally doing the gollygoshdarn thing.  Either way, there's no need to panic.  Chill out...

I'll admit it.  I was tempted, for a minute, to give up.  But that is sooo Old Me, and I'm trying to find a New Me.  So I'll just press on and see what happens. 


In other news, remember when everyone was cised over these friendship bracelets?

I remember making tons of these in middle school, and selling them for 50 cents a pop.

Target is charging $4.00 a pop.  Maybe I should start my bracelet business back up!  Whatchu think?

To Infinity {Dress} and Beyond

A couple of weekends ago, I cleaned out a portion of my bedroom closet, as part of my campaign to Be Less Triflin’ in 2012.  The hubs and I share a closet that I could easily take over if I wanted to (which I do, but that wouldn’t be nice).  When we moved into our house two years ago, We set up our clothes so that we each had a side, but our clothes decided to co-mingle, and eventually they threw themselves into a heap all over our bedroom. 

I just forgot what point I was trying to make.  Thanks, Mommy-brain. 

*crickets*

OH yes.  I found a couple of unfinished sewing projects—surprise, surprise.  See how we do?  That reminded me of #7 on The List.

Last summer I was a dress-makin-son-of-a-gun.  I realized that I had not yet broken in the sewing machine my hubby so thoughtfully gifted me with like, 3 years ago.  So I made an infinity dress:

I lurve my infinity dress.  I can wrap and twist and drape it in several different ways.  It's like a bajillion dresses for the cost of one. Can't be mad at that!

Also in my closet, I found all the stuff to make a boned corset as part of a Renaissance costume… because I *thought* I was going to Renn-Fest this year, and I *thought* I would dress up like a schmexy wench, because I’ve never done that before.  Yeah, yeah, I practically live under a rock. 

I kinda wish it was Fraggle Rock.
