i want an oompa loompa

this morning i thought i might try to put a little (okay, not so little) belt around my waist… you know, in that 80′s style like we used to do… remember the chain belts? and we would wear them over a t-shirt then blouse the t-shirt around the belt… it was one of those fashions that us chubby girls used a lot… sort of trying to camouflage the extra junk …. so anyway…. yeah, i couldn’t find my waist…. how messed up is that? so no belt… just a big baggy t-shirt that makes me look a bit bigger than

conflicted coach

i’m on my first cup o java this morning…. maybe not the best time to be typing here ha! last night we ran out to Fry’s because they have 16GB thumb drives on sale for $10…woot! i got one… and some pens and some new ear buds for coach… he has been through i don’t know how many pairs of ear buds – i keep telling him if he’d turn down that raucous johnny cash and hank williams the little speakers would last a bit longer. he just doesn’t pay attention to me though… ha! anyway, on the way to

roads and bridges
