The Woman Within
I have been having the hardest time shopping lately. It's the holidays for god sake! So I walk into 'Torrid' looking for a pair of riding boots with buckles and a slight heel. I need something wide legged and in a size 11 because I always wear thick leggings with boots. What a freakin' disaster. It took 10 minutes just to get some help even though the girls were all standing around talking about their personal lives. I finally got someone to find something a little close to what I was looking for and then when I asked for a nylon... shocker... they were all out but she promised she'd lysol them. Disgusting. I walked out and thanked them for nothing. It's so sad that bigger girls have such limited options and no options for good service. Seriously I'd put down some good money for a cute product, excellent service and a little bit of quality.
I ended up buying these online at a plus size store full of frumpy, ugly shit. I'm seriously considering a career in fashion just to design clothing, shoes, bags and lingerie for bigger girls who are sick of looking like a 45 year old soccer mom with no fashion sense. It's next to impossible and such a horrible chore to shop these days.
Anyways, I had an excellent training today. I work tomorrow and then I have Thursday, Friday and Saturday off. It'll be an excellent opportunity to do some cleaning, budgeting and soul searching.
Things are getting better. We're still stressed about money, I'm still feeling uglier than ever and I can't help but complain about the cold. I think I need to go to Disneyland with Caitlin and get my magical kingdom on. Things are getting too real for me right now.
There's a Christmas party for my department this Sunday and I need to make a Mexican dish, any ideas? I'm thinking some amazing, tasty enchiladas- something very, very south of the border.
