Hello everyone. I have been travelling for the past week and I apologize for my lack of blogging.
Here are some observations:
1. Old Navy lies. Vanity sizing is out of control there. I am currently wearing a pair of Size 6 jeans that I bought at an Old Navy in the U.S. and they are hanging off me. I should have bought a Size 4. And that is a lie, a huge, big, massive lie. Because I am an average-sized woman. Not tiny. Not even very small. I have a bit of a JLo bum. If I were a true Size 4, there would be no way I could wear any Old Navy jeans. I'd have to buy a Size 12 in the kids' department.
I know why stores like Old Navy do this. They want to convince fatties that they are slimmer than they are, which will make them happy, which will encourage them to buy more clothes there. But I find it dishonest and wrong. That is all.
2. My cat is borderline obese. Because it's so cold and snowy this winter, he's staying in all the time and is now just eating out of sheer boredom. He used to be a meat-only kitty but now he'll eat anything. He even licked a plate clean last night that had the remnants of lasagna -- tomato sauce and melted mozzarella. Even he looked ashamed of himself. I hope the warm weather arrives soon so he can get back out there and lose some poundage.
3. Even though I have just returned from a warm climate with palm trees everywhere, my heart soared surprisingly when I got back to Toronto and took a cab home from the airport in a minor snowstorm. There is something about the black silhouettes of maples and oaks bending in a winter wind against a metal-grey sky that is beautiful to me. I couldn't live in a place with no winter. I would actually miss it.

Welcome back. Missed you.
I would say you're tiny, I feel like a heffalump next to you. But you're perfectly proportioned and hot.
Oh Tanya! You flatterer! I feel the same next to you!
When is our next Vietnamese date?
fatties? harsh. fatties have feelings too.
You're the one for me, fatty.
Don't you mean Granny? You're the one for me, Granny?
laughing... I almost wrote "Granny".
And I will stay,
Promise you'll say if I'm ever in your way.
Whoa. Is there some sort of love affair playing out in the comments section of RTK?
Glad you're back. Blog a way, Baby.
Re winter, the problem is that it goes on too long. Whenever I read novels by Brits and they talk about spring and daffodils at the end of February, I think, "Yeah, I could learn to love winter if it ended mid-February as opposed to mid-April.
Re Old Navy jeans, the sizing is just ridiculous. I'm a four too and would be much happier to be an eight because that I could actually believe with a little bit of positive thinking.
And fat cats, the notorious Fonzie is a complete skinnie minnie but poor Bridget has gotten too chubby despite a daily exercise regime that would befit a large dog.
People tsk tsk on the street when they hear she's only a year and a half. Part of the problem is that her shaggy winter coat makes her look plumper than she really is and it has also brindle flecks which add to the old-man effect.
Imagine being a young full-figured bitch in your prime and everyone thinking you were an old man dog and having no qualms about telling you and your owner.
Oh well, at least she'd be a petite in the OLd Navy dog coat line. And yes, their dog coats are as good and as cheap as the jeans.
And I bet their doggie coats make Bridget feel she's a two when she's really an eight!
Liars!!
I am actually pissed about the jeans. They are actually way, way too big. I look like I need my diaper changed, they are hanging off me so badly.
What a big lie.
Jacy, glad you're back.
VAnity sizing. They have size 1/2. They have size 0. I'm waiting for Size -2, you know, with the wind chill factor.
Egads Jacy, in two hours I am off to the cat doc's to have my obese beastly feline checked up. We call her Fattie.
Where were your palm trees? Were you near my town?
