familiar

there's nothing like a pair of jeans to prompt someone into being mindful of what they eat.

now that the chillier weather is upon us, it occurred to me that the only pair of pants i fit into are yoga pants. so éamon and i took the bus to the riocan yesterday to go jean shopping. it seems to me that baby weight hits the middle and the face, while the rest of me feels pretty normal. now that i'm wearing these unrelenting pants (i made sure to get some that were slightly snug, knowing that they would loosen with use), i consider myself on the road to weightloss. not that i'm in a major hurry, but i feel that i've reached my statues of limitations for eating random things. it's just tricky being allergic to the most convenient of fruits :S oh well, i'll find a way around that as usual.

the bus was fun. for a few moments i thought i'd like to be a city bus driver. but then i changed my mind and decided i'd like to get paid to ride around on the bus all day people watching.

brendan has wednesday afternoons off, and i've been enjoying his company all summer. i'm glad that we'll continue to have those afternoons off together even though it's september. this afternoon we bought andrew and shannon a new refrigerator :D it felt funny walking into a store and telling the staff "we'd like to buy a fridge" because i've never done that before. it also felt funny that they staff treated us like adults with the means to buy a fridge. we also bought a dryer, which we'll pick up next wednesday (it had to be ordered in because it's a compact drier).

hard times ain't gonna rule my mind.
