my bike time is my alone time. Just me and my legs and my bike. concentration and burn and I find it very relaxing and very cathartic.
my roommate keeps trespassing on this time. she bikes slow and wishes to chat. now, she has no friends here in columbus (she is a visiting scholar) so i have no urge to be harsh and be like "shut the fuck up and bike, bitch" (though I've thought it more than once, i must admit) oh well, i'll just avoid it and leave at different times than her. she is a very nice person, just not...just not a me person i guess.

there is a greek festival in columbus this weekend. i think that i might need to go to that. eat greek food, think of my big fat greek wedding and be amused. there is also a garage sale to benefit the cat welfare association here in columbus. i strongly approve of them - they are no kill and they work really hard to make sure that the cats are happy.
perhaps i could be persuaded to spend money there

sadly, my beautiful chinese dress does not appear to fit. so to my dear friends wedding...i now have naught to wear. I will be trying it on again, with a girdle and possibly some crisco ... but i haven't much hope really.
where it doesn't fit - my ass.
why doesn't it fit - i gained weight. not fat, muscle. from biking so damn much. so. i know of no diet that removes muscle! and muscles just do not compact like fat does...so there is minimal amounts of squeezing that one can really do....
where to shop...i'm going to hit up Plato's closet (second hand store) and Filene's basement (another second hand store) but if they don't work...i'm rather at a loss. where to buy a relatively cheap, hot hot beautiful dress in which i look hot and that is appropriate for a formal evening wedding in october...
any ideas?

if you haven't worn it and tags are still on can you exhange it?

sadly, I can't...though the tags are on it...i bought it in china town in boston...
i'm sorry. . . i ain't too familiar with no stores outside of my area.
I love second-hand stores - sometimes you can find such great stuff hiding in them! And for such dirt-cheap prices you almost can't help bragging about where you got it!
Naught to wear at a wedding is a good idea.
Ahh, but at least its muscle, eventually you'll lean out and you'll need smaller sizes...same thing happened to me - but it was my thighs and calves. I had to go to physical therapy and go figure, my jeans didn't fit. Now I'm in jeans 2 sizes smaller - yay! It's sad that your skirt doesn't fit, but it'll be worth it later. Second hand stores, vintage clothing shops and even garage sales are my favorite shopping spots!
