Random thoughts about jeans and other shallow musings
Hi!
I'm moving in 6 days!
My house is not even half packed!
I have two huge edits due in September! I'm working on them a lot!
There are many children in my house! Wanting food and entertainment and summer adventure!
I don't have time to rant or muse or discuss! The blog will suffer! <--But hopefully lots of exclamation points will make this seem like a more exciting post than it is. AND MAYBE SOME CAPITAL LETTERS WILL HELP TOO!!
So, I've got a few blog posts in the works, but nothing finished and I have to finish my 20 pages of edits for the day (along with some rewriting bits) before I leave to get my hair colored at 2. (I'm VERY excited about this. To save money, I've been dying my own hair a dark red-brown for over a year. Then, about three months ago, I had to buy a different brand of hair dye because the drugstore was sold out of my brand. And--though I was dying my hair a DARKER color than it is normally--the damned stuff bleached my roots and turned them orange. So I've had orange roots and dark red-brown hair for awhile. And now I've got dark blond and gray roots and about an inch of orange and then dark brown-red on the rest of it and, anyway, it looks god awful but I haven't had the time to get it fixed. But it's finally gotten so bad I've had to make time, and I'm excited about it. Hope my new hair mistress can make something of this mess I've made. She comes highly recommended so...*fingers crossed.* It's not like it can get much worse, so...)
But this post wasn't supposed to be about hair. It was supposed to be about how weird women's jeans are, and how I can never find a pair that fits both in the butt and the waist. If it fits in the waist, it is too tight in the butt. If it fits in the butt, it's too loose in the waist and I have to wear a belt and the top feels all smash-y and blah. Then I was going to tell you about how I scored a pair of size 16 girls jeans (about the size of a woman's 4, for those who are interested) from Target on sale for 2.50 (I KNOW! Could you just die from the savings?!). I figured I'd wear them as cutoffs, but they are the perfect length to wear with sandals and look better than my grown up jeans. They have these little button things on the inside (as many kids' clothes do) and I can tighten the waist to fit and it looks so much better than wearing a belt and I'm like WHY DO WE NOT HAVE THESE WAIST TIGHTENING BITS IN GROWN UP JEANS?!
And I was going to say that we should start lobbying for waist tightening bits in grown up clothes.
But instead I talked about hair for a paragraph and killed the focus of this blog.
Failure. I can has. Sorry.
Hoping to be back in a day or two with a DEAD ON THE DELTA play list. I've got some amazing songs on there so far. Just need a few more to make the ultimate killer-fairy inspired mix. (Once again, please do support DEAD ON THE DELTA by posting a review on amazon, Barnes and Noble, or goodreads if you can. Word of mouth does help sell books and I would so appreciate your support. So would Annabelle, who is going to be in big trouble at the end of book 2 and will need a 3rd book to get out of it.)
I may also have some very exciting GRAPHIC LIVE IMAGES! of me walking with my first hardcover on the beach. Or dancing with it through the vineyards. Or running through a flower-strewn field. Or something. Something graphic. And live. And maybe I'll give a copy away. Maybe...
So many apologies for this ramble. Off to work.
Sincerely,
Stacey Jay
