Vote Against Me
Doritos has a "Beyond FlavorDome" kinda thing going. Two new flavors enter, only one new flavor leaves. It's BBQ Cheddar vs. Wild White Nacho. WWN doesn't taste any different/better than regular nacho, so beyond not staining your fingers orange (which isn't really a flavor) I don't see the point.
BBQC, on the other hand, mmmmm ... good eatins.
Which is why y'all need to vote for the nacho flavor. If BBQ wins I'm in big trouble cause I already got rid of my fat pants. (Yes, I can get new fat pants, but that's not the point.)
So, please, vote against me. Vote Wild White Nacho.

Livin' Large
We stopped by Kohl's last night and I tried on a few shirts. Fabric dye inconsistencies kept me from purchasing any, but I did discover that I fit in large-sized fitted shirts, as opposed to just the extra-larges. Polos in "large" are snug, which is their way, but it's a not-quite-attractive snug.
And if I cinch my brown leather belt corset-tight I can add another notch. It might provoke an intestinal revolt, though, so I'm going to hold off a little longer.

New Year, New Notches
Picked up a Victorinox knife yesterday, the Fieldmaster model (didn't buy from Amazon; the cutlery-store-at-the-mall's website doesn't show all the "features"). Just finished adding two notches to a black leather belt using the reamer blade.
The imprinting on the back of the belt says "size 44." Fortunately it's been years since I've needed that much leather. And as nice as it is to convert it to a size 38, I've got another notch or two (or four) to add before I retire it permanently.
I'll get better-fitting belts in the meantime, but since I already got rid of the 44" waist pants in a "never again" moment, the belt will serve as a reminder of how far I've come.
Stay tuned.

Another 'nother Notch in My Belt
Back in May I blogged about finding a favorite old belt and punching an extra notch in it so it would fit after I had lost some weight.
Well, this morning I went and added another hole. The belt fits in the sense that it's holding up my pants better now, but it has an extra two inches of strap hanging at the loose end. Not very stylish.
Maybe Santa will drop off a Swiss Army Knife with reamer/punch function this year. Maybe one with a saw, too, so I can remove the excess beltage.
And those Levi's? Soooo unattractive on me ... but they are on me.
