long time, no blog
i haven't been really good at keeping up with my blog. it seems that life is just flying by. oh, and it's not very exciting to talk about how i'm mostly sitting on the couch cross-stitching like an old crone.
some things going on in my life:
1. me and the hubby are condo-hunting. you'd think that this would a good thing, but given our budget of about $5, we really haven't been seeing much. granted, with the sub-prime housing market in the toilet, there are plenty of places up for grabs. but this is what we can afford:
so you can see why i wouldn't want to blog about the "exciting" prospect of looking for a dump.
we saw this really cool place that was dirt cheap. problem? the entire building was vacant and the other units were owned by 3 other banks. trying to unwind that mess would take the patience of elliot ness and the money of donald trump. not the kind of thing first-time buyers should get into. who knows? maybe after 5 years of living in another condo, it will still be available and we'll have enough to move in. fat chance.
2. i'm trying to lose weight. yeah, i know. who isn't? the problem is i've gained 6 pounds since before xmas and nothing is fitting anymore. i've even lost about 3 of those pounds, but those chinos still aren't very nice to my waist. what's up with that? am i going to have to get a rib removed to be able to fit into my summer shorts (hard to think about when it's 10 degrees outside and threatening to snow 7"). but still. i have a wedding i'm going to at the end of Feb and i'm TERRIFIED that the dress i bought isn't going to fit. i'm even scared to try it on. bah.
what really pisses me off is that i have NO will power. well, i do, but it doesn't seem to be helping one f*cking bit. plus, there seems to be a downward spiral of food allergies and bloated waist. i try to cut back, which means i'll eat yogurt or Slim-fast (yeah, that was my lunch), forgetting, of course, that i have a milk allergy. now i feel like my pants are going to burst off of me. and tomorrow i'll pay by having painful, painful gas. but what's a chick to do? ok, i'll eat more fruit. maybe i'll stop snacking on pork rinds (allergic to pork, too)(and i don't eat them anyway).
but what do you do when you're allergic to soy AND dairy? i'm NOT going to eat rice milk yogurt, not that it exists. i can't eat yogurt, skim milk, soy milk, pizza, tofu, non-fat cheese (not that anyone should eat that. it's a crime against nature). i made scalloped potatoes with no-fat cream of mushroom soup and ham. #1. "cream of anything"=bad. #2. ham=pork. sigh. i just don't want to think that much when i eat.
but i feel i'm making myself worse by inflicting this pain on my digestive system all the time. i'm bloated all the time. i've lost my waist. all of my clothes are uncomfortable. but i'm losing weight in my face and upper body. thanks, god. i appreciate that.
