I was looking through the closet, trying to put clothes aside to pack for the fifth ring of Hades the family reunion.
My jeans don’t fit.
My shirts are loose.
And let’s not go into the intimates.
Normally this would be an occasion to WHOOP and holler, but no. I don’t want to buy new clothes. I want to wear my old ones! Those are the ones I like! And the funny thing is, I gave all of my smaller clothing to my sister while she was here. And no, no backsies!
So, today I will be attempting to alter clothes in the vain hope that #1- they fit a bit better, and #2- I don’t screw up. All I know is, the drinks on Saturday will help me forget about uneven darts and hemlines 😉

And let's not go into intimates.
Man, that’s an arcing softball just waiting to be launched into the parking lot…

Crap. So much for the html on that blockquote. Clean-up on Aisle 1, please!

Fixeted, and shut it. I’m looking like a scarecrow right now, and it’s appalling!

You left an “e” out of that last word and added an extra “l”. 😉
June 22nd, 2012 at 12:31 PM
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Nope 😛
June 22nd, 2012 at 12:32 PM
Geeze. I wish I had your problem. Mine usually go the opposite direction!!!
June 22nd, 2012 at 12:34 PM
I’ve seen your curves, and I’m jealous, so there 😉
June 22nd, 2012 at 1:12 PM
There’s only one way to solve this…

Mmmm…Dulce the Leche…. 😉
June 22nd, 2012 at 6:29 PM
Heh…sounds like that weird guy at the pub in ye olde England:
“Ye bartender, yon knave is staring in a most lecherous manner over his pint…”
“Ah, lass, ye’ve a good eye for knavely men. Yonder sits Dulce, known as ‘the Lecher’. If he asks ye for the time, I wouldst hie then yonder to thine abode. And lockest yer door.”

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Ice cream will never be the same 😀

Thou’rt welcome!

‘5th circle of Hades’ — what a concidence as I just referred to Dante’s 9th circle of hell — my favorite! Enjoy the reunion!
June 22nd, 2012 at 2:01 PM
We are sympatico, for sure 😉
June 22nd, 2012 at 6:30 PM
9th Circle? Heck. I work there. No discounts, though, sorry.
June 22nd, 2012 at 8:23 PM
But do you get benefits??
June 22nd, 2012 at 10:12 PM
Not even a reach-around.
June 24th, 2012 at 9:02 PM
Damn….
June 22nd, 2012 at 1:58 PM
you are a better woman than me, I hate alterations! But I know how you feel, I like my old clothes too, not finding much that I like in the stores lately….
June 22nd, 2012 at 2:09 PM
Exactly! Much too young for me most of the time, and sometimes downright immodest!!
But altering may have its calming benefits, too. Provided I don’t sew my fingers together 😉

I have been to the Thirteenth Circle of Dante’s Hell . . .
They asked me to leave . . . as I was tearing up the place.
Had to, it was the only way to find the perfect screenplay adaptation of William Gibson’s Neuromancer.
They burried it under six feet of steel reinforced concrete.
Made a small fortune selling ice water too . . . but would not share the take.

*makes mental note: does not play well in Hell*
Let me guess: you didn’t have enough time there to install AC, right?? 😉
June 22nd, 2012 at 3:45 PM
Actually I did install air conditioning . . . of a sorts.
When al capone, jimmie hoffa, jon murtha and ted kennedy demanded their cut – which totaled ninty-five percent . . . each – I put a round of 5.56 through their heads.
We call that “Free Air Conditioning” in the Army.
When I left, they were all sputtering around, trying to gather up the gooey bits. Odd thing, after they got hit, murtha and kennedy were spouting liberal talking points non-stop and capone and hoffa were quoting lines from Scorsese mob movies . . .
June 22nd, 2012 at 3:51 PM
I would rather be in that ring with Hoffa and Capone, than with Kennedy and Murtha. Grrrr…..

Hm… It is easier to gain weight than lose it for most of us, anyway (see Haagen Daas suggestion). 🙂
I’m with CW – I wish I had your problem with weight. Curves are great but some of us have a few too many. 🙂
June 22nd, 2012 at 3:26 PM
No you don’t, especially when you sashay 😉
June 22nd, 2012 at 4:14 PM
Sometimes nothing is a really cool thing to be wearing…
but probably not at a reunion.
Still, they would never forget it!
June 22nd, 2012 at 6:11 PM
Ha…ha…ha… 😛
