We took the kids to the mall today. I think we spent over two hours just checking out store after store which was good exercise for us all since it was raining outside and we couldn’t go to the park. It would figure since I wasn’t specifically intending to get any clothes or shoes that I would find some good stuff. I got two shirts from Steve & Barry’s and a pair of kickass Teva sandals, similar to these but in all black at a place called The Shoe Department. You know how I feel about thongs, so these are perfect. I never heard of Teva before but Joe informed me that they’re good quality shoes. Now if only I could find a pair of white sandals to go with my new dress I’d be set.
After all that walking the kids were begging to be fed, so we headed over to Lonestar Steakhouse. Everyone ordered a burger except me. I was good and got a grilled chicken breast with Texas rice. I did take a little bite of Joe’s burger, however. He drives me nuts because he’s lost 24 lbs. in two months and I’ve lost 5. The worst part is my stomach and waist area got smaller but I still have big hips. Do you realize how hard it is to find pants, particularly jeans, that fit my body type? You’d think all women have a boy’s figure. I tried on a pair of jeans that was huge in my waist and left a monstrous gap in the back, yet was tight on my hips. Real classy. It’s like my waist is a size 10 but my hips are a size 14. So annoying! I tend to look for jeans with some stretch material in them but even then I seem to keep running into the same scenario. Obviously I need to slim down in the hip area fast so I can buy some decent pants/shorts.
I like the title to this entry.
