PANTS & TIGHTS….DO NOT FIT (SHOVEL LIST)

When I was at the fat lady store yesterday I picked up a cool looking patterned pair of leggings/tights.  When I was in North Van at that store I tried different ones on and definitely the smallest ones they have are the ones that fit me…and even at that they are too large.  When I pull them up so the crotch is where its supposed to be, the waist band is on the top of my stomach, like right at my chest.  I don't know what they think we are…I am huge and the small is too big.  I can't imagine who buys and fits anything bigger.  No one is that big, except maybe that 600 pounder in the store yesterday.

Today I started the packing process for our trip coming up on the 12th of Feb  (happy birthday Cookie!!!).  The first step is to put all the clothes I plan to take, folded, into the suitcase.  Later I will have to remove them and iron them etc.  But for now I need to plan the clothes.

I was taking tags off the new stuff, finding the old shirts I want etc.  I opened up the new lovely tights.  And unfolded them, unfolded them, unfolded them….they were freaking huge!!  I checked the packaging and it said X.  Which is right.  Then I checked the leggings label and it said 2X.  Dammit!!

As the day went by, knowing they would have to go back, I just got more and more cross.  Seriously!  Who do they think those things are going to fit anyway???

So I decided to try them on and just show how stupidly big they were.  Hahaha…I wish I could have taken a picture.  Well no, maybe not.  I pulled them on, up and up and up.  Those stupid leggings went all the way up to the top of my head!!  I put my arms down the inside and just kept wiggling them up til they stopped.  I looked like a lumpy popsicle with a fuzzy top!  So unless you are morbidly over hugely obese…those things wouldn't fit anyone!

There is another thing I have to do ASAP.  Every time I sat in my chair in purple room, just in the last week, I would get wafts of something that smelled awful.  Rotten smelling.  I hunted and hunted and couldn't find a thing.

Well, today I was spending a lot of time in the bedroom, not in purple room.  And…the smell was there too!  That means only one thing….that smell was emanating from me.  Upon further investigation I discovered it was my beloved slippers.  Acccchhhhhh jeez!  Ewwwww!!  I got them wet last week outside and that is a death knell to slippers.  A trip to Walmart is now on the list too.  And I really liked those slippers.

We are making yet another trip to the mainland this weekend.  This time though its just for Saturday.  We have a mortgage on a place in Surrey.  We have never met the lady that borrowed the money.  She has made every pmt for over six years.  She doesn't sign the renewals, but as long as she makes the pmts. we don't care.  The interest rate is much higher than we would actually get if we signed her up today.  

Out of the blue she missed a couple of pmts.  And at the same time I got notice that her house was about to be sold for unpaid taxes.  So I immediately paid the minimum propery tax and started foreclosure.  But after two missed pmts, they started up again.  Too late though.  I don't trust her.

But..we cannot get hold of her.  No one has ever talked to her.  She never misses pmts on the bank first mortgage.  We can't find her and there seems to be someone in the house but never an answer and notices are posted on her door.  Something is up.

We now have the legal right to change the locks on the door to get the house listed and sold.  So on Saturday Aryn has arranged for us all to meet a locksmith and a realtor and we shall be busting into the place, taking a look around and hopefully not finding a dead body.  (although that would cross another thing off both Aryn's and my bucket list)  I will report on this on Sunday, that is if we don't get shot.  From the outside it kind of looks like a grow op is happening there.  Such a dangerous business investing is!!  hahahah…

Well I am off to bed.  TTYL
