I bring you Hexiom and Honey Trouble. Honey Trouble is basically an easier version of Zuma. It kept me up until 3 AM last night, despite avowals of going to bed, because the bear is just so happy when you win and he gets his honey that I couldn't deny him the next level.

Hexiom, on the other hand, is maddening and I hate it. Er...I'm stuck on level 19. Tips?

I have tulip bulbs! I bought twelve while at the hardware store yesterday. They had ones with black petals, but I decided I wanted pretty more than novel, so I went with multicolored. (I like tulips. I like them enough to dig in the dirt in order to have them in April. This is huge.)

I also have a shirt, although not really the one I needed to go with a skirt I have. I say booooo to the current trend for empire-waisted babydoll-type shirts (example). They look flattering on the mannequins, but get them on anyone more endowed than your average stick insect, and they promptly become comedy pieces. The waistline, which on the models goes under the boobs, sits about halfway up them on me. Maybe a third of the way up on patterns with a more generous fabric allowance above the waistline. HATE. I mean, there's a reason I gave up on the juniors' section several years ago. I am irked at shirts made for that body type infesting the sizes I actually can wear.

I also have no love for the current trend of long, long shirts. If I wanted the hem at my knees, I would've bought a dress, kthx. [/clothes ranting]

Went for a walk and took pictures yesterday as well. Will post soonish.

Grrrr. I can't get past level 19 of Hexiom either. I can get all but one tile to turn yellow, but that last one... it's like the board isn't big enough.

Yeah, the choices seem to be either "anorexic" or "pregnant". I've lost count of the number of cute, tiny little high school girls who've made me wonder if they're pregnant just because they're wearing those shirts.

Hi, I have hips. And a stomach and an ass, so the hemlines on your tight, long shirts either roll up back up to my waist or make me look like a badly stuffed sausage. Gee, can't imagine why I'm not running out to buy them!

Homg yes on the shirts. It's like the 80s had morning sickness and horfed all over its own maternity wear. Make it stop!

Speaking of obsessed gaming, I'm killing myself with my obsession for Jewel Quest 2 at the moment. It's slowly trying to kick my arse. :)

I dont know what makes me more mad, the fact the shirts exist or that these stupid girls really are wearing them as dresses! As a D cup myself, anthing that low cut either A.) makes me look like a Boobs McGee, which hi, dont need help in,
B.) shows off the bra that I HAVE to wear bc, hello D cup; and if you finagle the bra out of the way its no longer supporting anything; underwires are supposed to be under, not hugging my ribcage so you dont see it, and
C.) I dont want to show off my body that much every. damn. day. If Im going out, or in that kinda clothes mood, or have to get dressed up its one thing, to go to work myself, or run up to the mall? Not freaking necessary. and
D.) Dont have kids, dont want kids, really dont want to look like Im about to have one.
Oy.
