i bought leggings! yea, that's right - leggings. i LOVE them! and for once, i have invested in a trend while it is still popular instead of denying my affinity for it and waiting till 2 years after it's mainstream effect has passed before sporting it proudly. my only delema with the leggings seems to be finding sweaters long enough. all my height is in my torso, hence a simple "tunic sweater" won't always suffice. while i do very much love the trend in longer tops and sweaters, unless i want to walk around in form-fitting stretchy pants with my butt cheeks hanging out, not all tunics are acceptable. however i did find a couple at kohls yesterday, and for $13 no less! but i will be taking them back today after work to have the ink tags removed... that's the 2nd time i've come home with an ink tag still attached and i learned my lesson trying to pry off the first one. green paint on a denim skirt - no fun.
i've been eating my feelings - and i seem to be having a LOT of feelings lately. so i'm very much looking forward to the hostile takeover of my body come january. i've even toyed with the idea of turning my blog into a weight loss diary of sorts and posting pictures of my progress... but that might require you to see me in some sort of bathing suit capacity - so be warned.
OH! and i'm a godmother again. i had the supreme honor of being present for the birth of a friend's daughter at the beginning of November. they just asked me to be godmother on saturday. Jeremy used to work with Charles and was away at school and little Kaitlyn decided to arrive about a month early so Kelly called me in the middle of the night on November 9th and the adventure ensued! As you can see, it was a bit of a rocky start of the little one but she's doing well now.
she was in the hospital for 2 weeks to give her lungs time to catch up with the rest of her and she still has to wear a monitor when sleeping to make sure her oxygen levels are ok. but overall, she's quite the trooper. she's my little pal. i have quite a connection with her and her parents, even more than i did. it's just amazing. sadly, i wont know her for very long because they will be moving away in April. jeremy does not do the same job as Charles so it is not likely that we will ever see them again, but such is life. in the mean time, it's pretty amazing.

this post made me laugh. "rant-full"-yep, i'll be using that one. and the image of you with your cheeks hanging out your too short sweater. i too like leggings but feel too trendy wearing them in public and like you, don't have appropriate rear covering shirts. but whenever i wear them around the house, they make me want to work-out. so maybe i should wear them more often.
congrats on your god daughter. i'm sure you're friend was very thankful to have such amazing support.
(and maybe tomorrow, if my boy stop leaching all my energy, i'll continue the kitchen saga ; )
