/Random\ My Beef with Clothing Stores

While we were in Newport News, we did some shopping. I went looking for a cute summer dress and discovered something. They had no plus size section. Now, I have always been considered plus size, even before I had my son, but since then I have gained a tad more weight. It has always been hard for me to find clothes that fit.

i had a friend who was like a size 4 and we would go to the mall and she would have no problem finding an outfit. Me I found purses and shoes. And I was a 14 back then. So now that I am a size ?@ it is even harder to find something to fit me. Most stores have what they consider plus size, but I consider it medium size. In the store I am talking about, they went up to a size 14! They had some very pretty dresses to.

Now before you suggest I go on a diet and exercise, let me suggest something. Hell No!!! I love my body, all how many extra pounds and all. My husband thinks I am very sexy and I don't need anyone else's approval! Now that we have gotten pass that, let's move on.

My "beef" is that most women are a size 16 and up. Why can't clothing stores have a decent section for us phat girls. And where are all the plus size clothing lines I keep hearing about, but never see. I guess I am going to have to start making my own clothes. Sometimes when I do find plus size clothes they are uglay! Why can't they just put two of the cute ones together and make one for me?!

And one more thing, I do not want to wear a silk, multi-pattern mumu either! I went to this other store here in town and they had silk print mumus!! Who in the hell wears those things?

!STORY! $175 burger with gold!

From Yahoo News:

The burger, created by chef and co-owner Kevin O'Connell, seeks to justify its price with a Kobe beef patty, lots of black truffles, seared foie gras, aged Gruyere cheese, wild mushrooms and flecks of gold leaf on a brioche bun.

The eatery sells 20 or 25 per month in the fine dining room upstairs versus hundreds of $4 burgers each day at the diner counter downstairs, Tierney said.

The burger comes with golden truffle mayonnaise, Belgian-style fries and a mixed greens and tomato salad. O'Connell pairs the dish with many fine wines, a lager or a toasted brown beer, or ginger ale.

Without truffles, Boulud's burger costs $32. It has a ground sirloin patty stuffed with red wine braised short ribs.

Even when we win the lottery, I can't see spending that much on one burger. I would eat one though, if someone else bought it! For the complete story, follow the link below.

Hello Folks!

As you can see, I have not been updating my blog this week. It is because I was on vacation with my family. We went to Newport News, Virginia to see my husbands brother and his family. We drove the whole way. Yes, the whole way. It is a 10 hour drive and I do not recommend it at all!!!!

Those were the longest ten hours ever! But once we got there we had some fun. They live in Army housing, which provide very nice houses. On the inside the house are very beautiful. They were alittle close together for me, but hey it would be worth it. We didn't visit that many places but we went to the army and the navy's tax free store, can't remember what it is called. We went to the beach, well we walked on streets that were close to the beach. It was way to cold to get in any water.

Unfortunately for us, we picked a week when it was cold and raining to drive up there. We were very upset, but we adjusted. The air up there is so dry too. My lotion didn't have a chance and it was Johnson and Johnson! We took some fabu pic and all in all we had a good time.

There was this one restaurant we went to. I won't say the name, but they served the smallest portions of food I have ever seen. My husband and sister-in-law order steak and when it came out I started laughing. The meat was so small. It looked like a 2oz. I couldn't even hold it in until the waitress left. I laughed right in front of her! Hopefully she didn't know why I was laughing.

The trip home seemed alittle faster then on the way there. It always is. I am so glad to be home. I missed my house and I even missed our dog. Like the movie says, there is no place like home!

!STORY! "Grand Theft Auto" sales top $500 mln in 1st week

I was going to talk about this game when it came out last Tuesday, but life happens. Anyway I have loved the Grand Theft series since GTA 1. My favorite is "San Andreas". Of course "Vice City" had the best soundtrack. I use to cruise around in one of my many cars just listening to the radio, not a care in the world!

I suck at the games, of course, I can hardly pass the missions, so I use to borrow my brother's memory card and advance myself to the end. I know it's cheating, but after awhile I got tired of dying on the same mission over and over again. That doesn't stop me from wanting to play the new GTA. The game looks so awesome!

On the other GTA's I use to love to start a shootout with the cops, or just sniper people from the roof, get a few cars in a line and just blow up the whole thing, go and stock up on new outfits, go on a date with the only girlfriend I could get, wait til night time and go on a burglary spree, go to the beach and take pictures of the sea life, do drive-by's and occasionally have "coffee".

I didn't see what the problem was with the hidden code in the game. It is an adult game, it is not meant for anyone under 18 years of age. And if you bought your child a game rated M, don't blame the game makers for what they discover while playing it. Take the time to research what you are buying your kids.

Anywho this post was suppose to be about GTA 4 selling 6 million copies in it's first week! Unfortunately I won't be playing it no time soon, we don't have a PS3. :-(

Anyone have a PS3 they don't want, hit me up!
