I feel like a hippo
Wednesday, May 18, 2005
ok, I’m 5′3 1/2 (yes, I have to get the 1/2 in!) and I’m 119lbs (I just had a baby 8 months ago, it’s taking me awhile to lose Mya’s house so shut up)… people here are miniatures and they are so tiny… I’m a hippo over here! I go into try out clothes, and they have gorgeous amazing clothes here. They get all the styles here first before we get them at home probably because everything is made out here in Asia. Anyway, I go to try on a medium and it is small. I go to try a large and I look like a hoochie mama! It is quite tight! And they usually only have small or medium… Like Laura’ s size is what the average size is out here. It’s crazy and makes me cranky cuz it makes shopping more difficult. *sigh* The shoes here… oh my.. it makes my heart skip a beat… unfortunately or fortunately (depends on if you are looking at it from my side or Ryan’s ) I have stupid feet so it’s hard to find shoes, but I’m having more luck here than at home. The shopping is just fabulous! The coolest clothes! And they are all arranged according to color. It’s just wild. I’m seriously in shopping heaven! I just got 40 DVD’s for like $70 CND. Wow! ya, they are jacked but it’s just still amazing quality! Don’t tell Officer Rausch!
I’m going to try to bring back a case of mangos fresh off the tree. They are seriously amazing! So wish me luck crossing customs. If they throw my ass in jail… raise bail money.. ha-ha
Well, today I had a facial… I’ve never had one of these and oh my gosh, I’m hooked! It cost me $350 pesos which is like$8 CND. For one hour I had a wonderful face massage and exfoliation… she ended with a backrub, neck rub and scalp rub… most of you know I hate massages so the back rub and neck rub were tolerable, but the scalp massage… sheesh! I felt like she was checking to see if I was wearing a wig and she was trying to yank it off my head… I almost snapped… yes, my hair is real! Quit pulling… but it was still awesome… man, I am definitely going to get another one. This can be addicting. My skin felt so fresh and free and smooth and like it was breathing for the first time since I was a baby… wow… I definitely recommend the facial.
Nothing major is happening, except that Josh fell off the couch in the living room at night and busted his lip really bad and hurt his chin, nose and 1/2 of his face. He’s ok though, his lip is really busted up quite bad, but he’ll live *sigh* just rack that one up to bad parenting..
I need to stop having kids. The kids wouldn’t settle down last night so I separated all 3 of them Brandon in my bed, Laura in their room in the bed and Josh on the couch in the living room. I meant to put him in his bed after he fell asleep except I fell asleep before he did. So he fell on the tile floor and cut his lip *sigh* Poor kid. He’s going to be ok, but I just feel bad for making him sleep there, I just didn’t know what else to do to calm them down.
Well.. that’s about it for today, I’ve gotta run, they are waiting to use the computer.
Love ya! Joanne
