Mama said knock you out

This is what happens when your face meets a free-swinging metal bar. Bruising was visible but barely which I'm sure was good news for VV!

Pics cropped a bit smaller than usual because they're pretty close up and my skin is sort of nauseatingly awful. It's for your benefit, really!

Green tea and coffee candy

Hands are so slippery from moisturizer that I can barely hold onto my mug. Also, I had to use scissors to open the candy wrapper.

One of my prescription meds says it may cause diarrhea while the other says it may cause constipation. I wonder if they canceled each other out.

This is my daytime cough medication and I think it's SO PRETTY. Looks like materia from Final Fantasy!

Yesterday I had a bad trip to the gym that commenced with discovering I'd left one of my interior lights on in my car the day before which of course meant my car battery was dead when I tried to leave the house. Called up AAA because VV and I weren't sure if jump starting a hybrid was the same as jump starting a regular car. Drove around aimlessly for about 1/2 an hour because I had to keep my engine running before I was able to make my way to the gym.

Started my workout with the lateral pull. The new machines have pull bars that are waaay too high so I have to pull down just one end in order to reach it and I can't return it to its original position when I'm done with a set so it swings a lot when I release the bar. After my third set I released the bar a little too early and it swung a lot and hit me in the face right below the eye pretty hard. On the second machine I used I hit my head on the handlebar after bending over to pick up my stuff. I guess Friday the 13th was getting a little head start on me no it wasn't Friday the 13th truth is I'm just a clumsy airhead *sigh*.

Anyway, I've got some swelling and very light bruising below my eye but it doesn't look as bad as I feared it would...my undereye bag just looks a little mightier than usual. Which is fortunate for VV I suppose!

Ok. Time to drug myself with my nighttime cough medication that messes with my head but helps me sleep WOO!

Short

HI GUYS. I'm sort of high on hydrocodone cough syrup and I actually don't really like it. I'm hoping it'll help me sleep, though. And make me stop coughing.

I took that photo above in an Anthropologie fitting room. I went in to try on pants. I think those were Joe's Cavalier Ponte in turquoise. I saw them online and saw that they had a short-ish inseam and wanted to see how they fit.

I HATE trying to buy pants. Not only am I super short with disproportionately short legs, but my legs are also scary thick. HELLO THUNDER THIGHS. So why does this make it hard to buy pants? Let us count the ways.

  1. I'm short even by petite standards I am sub-five feet tall which makes it a bitch to buy pants for many reasons. The most obvious reason is that inseams are always too long for me, even on a lot of petite pants. This is a relatively easy fix, though. What isn't an easy fix is the rise of the pant. My shorter-than-normal (even for petites) rise means that waistbands hit me higher than they should which means that there will be a waist gap. Now, this problem wouldn't be too bad with petite pants if not for...
  2. My thick-ass legs (Not thick ass-legs, I don't know what those would be) I think my legs are seriously about a size larger than my waist. If pants fit me well in the waist, I won't be able to get my monster thighs into them. If I can get my legs into them there is usually a significant gap at the waist.

What usually ends up happening is I either deal with the waist gap (ugh) or I find super-stretchy pants that will stretch to accommodate my tree stump legs. The pants I was trying on above kind of fit the bill except they didn't look so great on me, probably because of the color. What I wouldn't give for smaller thighs!

Next photo is a random one that I took because I haven't been taking too many photos lately. I'm wearing NARS Super Orgasm (gift from Xinlei!) on my toes and AllSaints wedges on my feet.

GADDAMN this cough syrup makes me feel a little drunk but not in a good way. Time to hit publish and zone out. Woo. I'm out like I'm out.

Ring it in

Toasted the new year with four other couples and then fell asleep on Stella and Gary's squishy couch shortly after midnight. I suspect my ongoing illness (that I got as an xmas gift from my mother) may have had something to do with that.

Thanks to Stella and Gary for hosting, to everyone for all the good food and drink, and to Baer for being super adorable!
