Tight Sleeves

So I was in Target the other day, legitimately looking for a mop, and I cruised by the sales rack in the womens department, I do love me a sale. 

They had a large selection of nice things, many of which were ridiculously cheap.  Being a good little American I decided to do my part and buy something.  I mean face it, changing our light bulbs to LCFs and having a compost heap hasn't fixed all of our country's problems,  maybe buying a nice little summer-ie shirt would.

So I take a few choice items, all under $10 bucks to the dressing room of doom.  Long ago I gave up being a "small" I but hang on tight to being a "medium" DAMNIT!!!  So mediums in hand I strip down and start trying on.  The first time I get stuck, in a bizarre contorted position, trying to stuff my arms in a sleeve, I assume the tops were made for skinny little teenagers, and go back to grab some larges.  Once again I strip down, this time I get into a top, and the sleeves are really really tight, just from the elbow to the shoulders, everything else in on the okeydokey side.  I think that this must be a fluke, with this one top and move on to top 2, again really really tight sleeves, and no big surprise the same with the rest.  Harumph!

"They must be making sleeves smaller these days", I think to myself, put the to tight tops back on the rack and head off to some Pringles.

Spring is here San Diego's is weather unbelieveably fabulous, it's time to switch the sheets from flannel to cotton, head out to the garden and start the tomatoes, and pack the winter clothes away, and pull out the summer wardrobe. I pull the clothes out from under the bed and out of their space bags, and commence to culling.

Guess what?  The same person who is making all the sleeves small on this seasons fashions, went back and refashioned all my other clothes with tiny sleeves.  BITCH!!!

Or I could just be FAT!  I wanted to believe the whole refashioning fairies fairy tale, but I got on the scale today, and fairies just don't weigh that much.  Grrrrr.

Sitting here at my computer I have placed in and around my desk, Dove dark chocolate almonds, a bag of Twizzlers, Cadbury caramel eggs, Cadbury fruit & nut bar, Cacao Reserve by Hershey's Ultra-Thin squares 65% cacao. OMFG!  That's not including lord knows what in my regular household stash.

I sense exercise and salads in my future, and before you know it, it will be too hot to have chocolate just sitting around house.

If fat gave me boobs or hips I wouldn't mind so much, but big arms and a fat back aren't a look I'm going for.

Maybe I'll try jumping rope?
