Pants, Football and Flour

Obviously since I wasn't working I wasn't spending money - on anything. I've been rationing my contacts lenses (I hate wearing glasses), wearing clothes that are starting to come apart, shaving my legs with soap (I normally wax) and worst of all wearing pants that are all 2-3 sizes too big.

See, in the last year or so I've lost a ton of weight - we're talking 20 pounds off a butt that was already not overweight at all. So my pants just don't fit. Brad would look at me and say "just put a belt on", which I would do, but when you're cinching that much fabric.....yeah, it just doesn't work. Not to mention how uncomfortable too-big-pants feel.

So last weekend I finally went out and bought new jeans. Ohmigod how good does it feel to wear jeans that fit?! And thanks to Sarah, I found a great little store downtown that has a great selection!

In other randomness that I'm sure you're interested in - it's football season. Brad has gotten into this sport (no really, he even watches college football) and I'm sorry to offend anyone out there but I just. Don't. Get. It.

Seriously. When I watch it, it looks like complete chaos. It's totally complicated and the games seem to go on forever. He's in the living room right now and I can hear him "Let's go boys!" Yeah...so I'm spending the day working on some new bags for my Etsy shop.

I've saved the best news for last. I've finally brought wheat back into my diet.* Yesterday we made hamburgers from scratch, I ate pie and had toast with jam for breakfast for the first time in 9 months and last week I ate a cinnamon bun.

*This ties back into my first piece of randomness - honestly - eliminate wheat and dairy from you life and you will lose weight.
