This week I haven’t been sure what to write about… I think I am still getting over Christmas and New Years and I am not super excited to be getting back into the swing of things at work – I really want to win the lotto and travel all over the place, but no luck so far! I have also had some frustrating things happen to annoy me!

The most upsetting thing has been having to throw out my most favourite pair of jeans. You know those jeans that you have in your cupboard that are almost like pyjama pants… they are so soft and worn in, and hands down the most comfortable thing you own!? Mine were like that… I’m sure I have had them for at least 7-8 years. They have been patched in the thighs a couple of times and are like a second skin!…. Well it seems that my own skin has grown and the jeans have been so well worn, that the other night when I sat down I could feel (and hear) them die… a massive, irreparable tear that took out the butt!

Adding insult to injury, the search for a new pair has been a demoralising effort! It seems that you can either be tall or fat, but not both! If you are fat, it is assumed that you also have short legs, and if you are tall you can have longer leg lengths, but not the waist size that you need…. and if you are tall and fat you are out of luck!

Most of the jeans I tried on would either fit my backside, or my legs, but not both! There are only so many pairs of capri length pants I want in my cupboard, and none of them are jeans! … it was a depressing effort at the shops – and can we talk about dressing room mirrors!? What a nightmare!

The new years weight loss resolution is now in full swing… lets see if this is the year I am successful!? … my track record for such things would probably say .. mmmmm! Oh well, it is what it is!
