Hating

Netflix hate: I was so thrilled to receive the OC yesterday and then was so disappointed when I got to the second episode (the next-to-last episode of season 1) and it was all messed up. Pixelated, skippy, annoying.

Dating hate: I'm in a situation where the balance of power has shifted and I'm on the bottom. I'm the one wanting to see this person, and he's the one who is too busy with work to even consider making plans. It's funny how quickly things change. I've been avoiding writing about dating on this blog because I thought this one was going well and I didn't want to jinx is, and also wanted to protect privacy, and now, I'm inches away from throwing in the towel so what does it matter now? Actually, some might say I've thrown in the towel already because I'm now at the point where I'm done reaching out, via email, telephone, or the abhorrent text message. I'm waiting for him to call. Not waiting by the phone or keeping my calendar free, but waiting. Unfortunately, I have a daily reminder of this guy in the form of a new coffee maker. Yesterday I was so bent out of shape I actually bought a latte on the way to work instead of making my own in the K-Cup machine.

Muscle pain hate: I've had serious muscle pain in my back for a month. It's from the old bed, which is gone, but I'm not sure how to get rid of the pain.

Mail order shopping hate: I bought the 34R bootcut jeans from J.Crew because the 33Rs gave me serious muffin top when I tried them on in the store. Then, I lost a pound and also wore the jeans and they stretched out. I can't wear them without a belt and am thinking I need to have them tailored, taken in at the waist. So, they were still on sale so I bought (final sale!) the 33Rs, thinking they would still give me the muffin top but they'd stretch. I tried them on yesterday and would you believe, they're loose? What the hell? Granted, the crotch isn't as long as the 34s, and I haven't washed them yet, but how can one 33 be so much looser than another? Also, I tried on my sister's boot cut cords from Ann Taylor Loft and the size was right, so I ordered them online and today, I tried them on and wore them to work. I think they're too big and I'm hoping they'll shrink up in the wash but probably not enough. I should have gotten a size smaller. Ugh.

That's enough hating for now.
