Pants and stuff

As an update to my post from yesterday, when I got on the scale the next morning for my weekly weigh in I was quite close to having lost 20 pounds. Woot. Go me. It's funny though because I feel a little like I'm cheating since the whole process has been laughably easy thus far. I suppose that the truth is that I'm paranoid because it has been so easy, and that I'm worried I'm going to hit some kind of wall soon. Hopefully that will not be the case.

I only have to make it through my shift tomorrow and then I get two whole days off in a row, a Friday and Saturday to boot. Friday I'm planning on donating blood, something I haven't done in, like, a year (Guilt! I have guilt!). Saturday I'm going for my yearly Skywarn training session. Skywarn is the National Weather Service's volunteer Weather Spotter program (we look for and report tornadoes and other severe weather). I always enjoy the class, and usually learn something new every year.

I also need to buy some new work pants this week. The pair I bought a couple months ago was a little on the big side when I bought them, now every time I wear them it turns into a struggle of epic proportions between me and gravity for the fate of my pants. Seriously though, I don't want to be rushing around and get caught on something and end up sans pants. I can't be having with that.

    lol, 'sans pants.' I hate when that happens! Go find some skater boys and ask what their secret is.

    I was at a friend's party when I was in highschool and I noticed this kid playing volleyball. He was running around holding his pants up, and every time he had to hit the ball he would let go of his pants, hit the ball, then quickly grab the pants again before they got too far away. When I remarked upon this to my friend she told me the kid was her cousin, and that he had once tripped over his baggy pants, fell down a flight of stairs, and broke his arm.

    We can learn two things from this: 1. Skater boys have no tips on pant level maintenance & 2. Skater boys are not on the learning curve. :)
