A couple of notes on my physical appearance.
First: my recent panic over perceived weight gain appears to have been misplaced. After panicking, I bought a pair of 32×30 jeans, but they turned out to be a tad too loose, and also a tad too long — I was constantly stepping on the pant cuffs, getting them all frayed. So this weekend Matt and I went to the Newport Mall in Jersey City, near my apartment, and I bought a new pair of jeans at the Gap. They’re 31×28 — 31 waist, 28 length. They fit fine. I’m relieved that I can comfortably wear size 31 jeans again. Not that I should be surprised — my dress pants for work all have a 31-inch waist, and I’ve been wearing them just fine. But the last time I tried on 31-inch jeans, they seemed a bit too tight. Now they’re not. I’m glad.
Second: I’m growing a goatee again. I began right after Election Day. Maybe I won’t shave it off again until we have a Democrat in the White House. (Matt always loves it when I have a goatee, so he’ll just have to figure out which is more important to him.)
This thin, short, goateed blogger will write more later.
not that my vote counts, but glad to hear you’ve got the goatee back – and good for you that your bf prefers it!
Am I supposed to feel sad that you may be a tad bigger than 31? AND now you are a 31? Whatever… eat something… you’re probably hungry…. damn you “small-waisted” bitches….
Just in case anyone else thinks you’re being silly for bemoaning a 31-inch waist, I’d like to remind everyone that Jeff is extremely short. As in 3-ft 4-inches. So proportionaly, 31-inches is pretty big.
(Just kidding… Jeff is a still-wee-sized 5-ft 6-inches tall)
I’ve found that my waist size varies between jeans and khakis, pants and shorts. I can’t figure out why clothing manufacturers do that.
