everybody run for president!
(Don't send me your answers. This is just a little way to expand your horizons. Honest.)
I have to wear my clothes big these days. Well, I guess not big but baggy, loose around the waist, because any sort of pressure on my stomach makes me retch nonstop. (This makes me feel very bad for those women in previous generations who were wearing corsets and tightly bound dresses--no wonder they were vomiting all the time.) So despite the fact that my body hasn't changed that much lately, I asked Mary for some recommendations on clothes.
"Target," she said. The land of nice cheap clothes with drawstrings and elastic bands.
I went to Target and bought a pair of elastic waistband shorts, plus a couple of pairs of pants with drawstring closures. I've been living in the shorts, but since it's gotten colder recently (and I'm tired of the shorts), I put on the pants recently.
People who shop at Target must be fat. I'm sorry, there's no other way of putting it.
I bought medium-sized pants, figuring that those would be good for the first half of the pregnancy, and I wore the first pair last night. These aren't medium; they're huge. I feel like a gangsta rapper in these things. If I need bigger pants during this pregnancy, I'm having twins.
Fernando and Darin and I went out to dinner last night. We were going to go to Sushi Zawa in Burbank, because I thought hot Japanese food would be good and Fernando could satisfy his sushi jones.
Then we walked by Tony Roma's and all I could think was: meat.
So I dragged the two of them in there and sat down to some BBQ. Of course, my eyes were much bigger than my stomach, but it was very tasty.
This, clearly, is what they mean by food cravings.
The answer to Monday's question: Pat Buchanan says he's going to run under the Reform Party banner. The most famous Reform politician is of course Jesse Ventura, Governor of Minnesota. Pooks writes to say she heard on the radio that Ventura is trying to recruit Donald Trump to run for President on the Reform ticket to keep Buchanan out of it. Trump or Buchanan--who would have thought third-party choices could look worse than the Republicans' or Democrats'?
