Overheard at home
While getting dressed for dinner this evening the following conversation ensued:
Me: Does this dress make me look fat, looking down I feel fat...
J: Honey, I think they're called 'hips'.
It sounds strange, but I kind of feel like I've just now hit puberty or something. Suddenly I have curves and a shape, it's quite disconcerting. I'm not sure if I should attribute it to the new meds that have really helped my UC allowing me to digest and absorb nutrients properly for the first time in 15 years, or just strange genetics. Whichever it is, I'm kind of digging it.
I'm looking forward to fall for the first time ever. In large part its due to how crappy this month has been, making it difficult to really enjoy the last remnants of summer, then again, I think we squeezed as much fun out of this summer as possible, so I have no regrets. Next weekend is Kid's birthday/adoption day. Silly as is sounds, I'm happy for us, our cat will have been a part of our lives, making us fuss and laugh and bleed, for three years, and in many ways, he's helped make The Husband and I feel like a real family.
I'm also in the planning stages for an Epic Halloween party, it's been awhile since I put my party planning skills into decorating and the like, so I'm excited. I've got some pretty good ideas on how to transform the house, now I just need to be patient and wait for Halloween week to arrive.
