I am sorry, @tinypliny.

Here are the boots beside yesterday's chucks on my boot tray by the side door.



And all i have for food porn so far is a half made pot of chili, with peppers and carrots and onions and a sweet tater and some regular taters.



I still need to add some corn and some black beans. Bit boring, i know, but i really want @uncutsaniflush to come home to something hearty and warm after going from Wilson Farms to Wilson Farms doing inventories on a cold and blustery day.

I would have made something more interesting... but look at how empty our fridge is!!



I hope you are not pouting anymore!!!

Time for winter foot wear. And, it's not like i am not really excited about wearing my new knee high fits around my big fat calves boots, it's just that, well, they aren't chucks, now are they?

So, here are the pair i am bringing to work. Purple.



Matching my purple t-shirt because my boss, Shirley, used to tease me about not matching so now i match obsessively, like i used to when i was younger. Little does she know i am wearing the purple panties, too....

In an unrelated topic... what the fuck happened with Sahara Grill?!?! We haven't been in a while and i had a craving and when we get there, the place is dark. No sign, no nothing. They probably shut down again. Or someone decided to not show up. I need to stop considering that place when i want a falafel....

I don't have to leave for work until 4pm today. So, unless @uncutsaniflush and i decide to go out and do something, i don't have to decide on which pair of chucks i am going to wear until, well, just before 4pm.

So, i thought i would put it out to a vote.

Yes, i know, subtle difference in choices. I will be wearing a pair of brown cords and a green top, if the rest of the wardrobe matters.

Any opinions?



Thanks for the votes, e:peeps. At about noon i got a call asking if i could start work at 3pm instead of 5pm, so, as you can tell from the snap, i have them on now....

but sometimes i just can't be bothered walking upstairs to look for a different pair. if they are in the rotation by the door, they get worn more....

Since i am wearing a rerun today, @leetee #50434 i thought i would post a picture i took a little while back, just in case it was a chuck free or rerun day. I know it's not exactly what you were asking for @tinypliny, but it is how i let my mat by the door get if i don't keep up with the volume of chucks i wear.....



P.S. In a completely unrelated note... has anyone here ever been a member of the JCC (Jewish Community Center)? I am looking for some place to join that has a decent pool. I really need to get in better shape, but i am completely intimidated by gyms... plus, i really want to swim more than anything in the world!

Happy Birthday, @uncutsaniflush!

I LOVE YOU!

New Pair. Was at the outlet mall yesterday, holiday shopping... and found what i was looking for at, yes, the converse outlet store (pink infant size 3, with sparkles!). Then, i couldn't help but look at the sale wall at the back........



Oddly enough, yesterday i did not wear chucks. I got an early holiday pressie myself, a pair of high boots that actually fit my calves... glory be!

My last daily chuck was posted on Saturday. I skipped Sunday because i didn't put on any chucks... or, more accurately, i still had on Saturday's. I went into work on Saturday at 3pm. And i got mandated into an overnight shift....... and there was tons of drama about it and maybe workers are going to get yelled at and maybe they will loose the ability to switch their shifts around so that they work 2 doubles in a row and then have more days off in a row. To try to stop that from happening to my fellow co-workers, i took one for the team and did the overnight. A couple of coworkers said thanks, but the person who was supposed to take the overnight and said she was going to file a grievance about having to take overnights all the time because the workers whose turn it was were both on doubles just left without a word... and got to go to the dive bar she likes to hang at that Saturday night as planned. Do i sound bitter??

Thanks to those who made comments and reached out when i was being a drama queen in my last post. It was appreciated, even if it appeared as though i was ignoring it. I've been going through some growing pains lately, coming to terms with parts of myself i desperately want to change and that road has been a bit tough. Taking away the negative and detrimental coping mechanisms can be difficult... and i will keep trying. Thanks e:peeps. And particularly, @uncutsaniflush, my loyal hubs... he rocks.

Not only do i feel like shit and look like shit, but turns out, i am shit. Time to go to work...
