Tweezing and Jumping.

After a satisfactory eye brow plucking session in the bathroom and an outstanding shopping trip early this morning, I am treating myself to a lunch out of the refrigerator, and this is apparently what my period belly was craving 5 minutes ago:

1. A glass of Arbor Mist (Pinot Grigio, Island Fruit)
2. A hard boiled egg
3. A wedge of Italian Dry salami
4. The rest is TBA, but I am thinking about some some Casa Sanchez chips and Petaluma salsa

Sounds good, right?

This glass of Arbor Mist is OK, although in college I was able to share two bottles with my roommates (boy do I miss them and my master bedroom) and not feel anything.

Before this creative (?) smorgasbord, as I said, I went to the mall. Of course when I left it was freezing. Now it is hot as a tot and I am still in my Uggs and sweater. How is that possible?
Anyway I am very proud and surprised to report that I bought a jumper. Jumpers are always these things that I have battled with. Either they are see through, too up my ass, or make my arms look stupid/fat/large.

This one, however, had thick fabric. As soon as I saw it I did that thing that all women do. I don't know what possesses us but we have to touch every piece of clothing we like and/or see. Is it like dog pee? Are we claiming our territory? Who knows, but this jumper was teal (to bring out my green eyes) and HALTER which flatters just about anyone on the planet. Nothing looked funny, and trust me, if I have an inkling that anything looks funny, first I check from all angles and wiggle some things around. Then, if I don't feel comfy after that, I don't buy. This one I argued about with myself, though. I never in a million years thought I would be at the Santa Rosa Mall (for the record, their Forever 21 is gigantor, so yes we do have shopping in L.A., but it is different...) buying a jumper. But for whatever reason, today was the day. I contemplated and contemplated putting it down so many times, but for me, this was a very large fashion risk. Some people dive off cliffs on a bungee cords. I buy jumpers.
