Monday Morning Randomness

I definitely cannot eat hot wings two nights in a row. My stomach is tossing and turning, and I have my parents to thank for it. I went to BW3 with Hans on Saturday night (and they had the football play along game on instead of trivia) as his wife was out at a sorority slumber party (We saw School of Rock afterwards, which was good). Sunday night found the football play along on as well, so no trivia goodness. I like football, but the game, try to guess the next play, is boring and lasts too long. No thanks. BW3's Hot BBQ sauce rocks, but only going in. Ugh. it's fun to try to cool things down with the potatoes with the cajun spices.

I finally hung up some pictures in the new apartment - it's looking much more homey now.

I spoke to David, [livejournal.com profile] scotbear, last night for a couple of hours, talking about all sorts of things. The main thing was looking at buying a kilt from him. He has a red one already made that I'm thinking about...if it's not right, I'll get him to make a custom one for me. He's a costume designer at Minnesota State University (if you're nice, he might make a Halloween costume for you), and I met him through [livejournal.com profile] schnitz_mi at BearWatch in Galveston back in May. Even then I talked about getting a kilt, now I may actually do something about it. It would work well with my still incomplete Renaissance Fair wear.

Speaking of wearing stuff, I keep thinking of saving some money for a leather harness. It's silly, the thing serves no real purpose, but I think they look cool, and I think I'd like the feel of it. I tried one on a month or so ago (it was John's), and it didn't totally fit, but it was cool. Chris has said that they don't really do anything for him, so there's one strike against, and I'm totally worried that all it will do is increase the prominence of my not-so-fit chest. Think manboobs, they're not terribly bad really (sorry, I don't have a good picture, you'll have to trust me here), but putting on something that works a bit like an 18 Hour Bra may not be the way to go. I'll keep thinking about it.

Hooray to JC Penny for delivery of my new clothes - all bought online, and on clearance. I'm so smart. Now I just need some new sneakers.

Today, Partly Cloudy, 75 degrees, with a high of 84 expected. It's an endless summer!

Oh shut up about the summer ;)

Currently in St. Cloud MN (as of 9am)

27F and light snow...

Winter Weather Advisory...with 3-6" of snow by nightfall...with 6-10" possible by early tomorrow afternoon...with 10-20 mph winds.

I'd take Partly Cloudy and 84 very very happily right now.

Well, you'd always be welcome down here.

Am I starting a fad now? ;) Hell, if I could get a harness, anyone can. And where I went, they didn't have any to fit so they made one to fit me in less than an hour. I need to lose some weight myself to make it look better tho.

Well, I've wanted one for a while now, but I guess I'm finally getting to the point that I actually feel comfortable enough getting one. I'm not worrying about instant gratification, just one that might look good on my big frame - I just don't need to highlight something that doesn't need the highlight.

And i like to work my chest when I do actually work out...one day it will be good!

It was great talking to you last night.
I woke up this morning to a thick coating of slushy snow on the ground. It's still coming down pretty heavy. Supposed to get 4-6 inches today.
So much for getting those leaves raked yesterday. Now I just need to get all the garden tools put away before they're buried for the winter...LOL!

Go for the harness...because you can. Sometimes you just have to try things to find out whether it works for you. Other than that, I think you'd look hot in a harness. Heat things up!
