sleeping bags

i guess its been awhile since i was last in a sleeping bag - i would say a good 70 pounds ago. so i go to get a new one for a camping trip i've got coming up. i'm psyched about the trip, psyched to get a new bag and sleeping pad; i pick out a very nice looking grey-blue mummy one, take it home and attempt to zip myself up in it. oh my god, i felt so claustrophobic. it was way, way too tight. my legs felt like they couldn't move at all. it was horrible. it never really occurred to me that i could be too fat for a sleeping bag. first i thought it was just the bag but then i realized that i weighed much less the last time i went camping.

so i exchanged it today and got a nice square(r) bottom bag. it's cool and i'm happy with it but i seriously cannot wait to not have to worry about fitting into things anymore (theater seats, airplane seats, rollercoasters (not even going to attempt that anytime soon), etc...)
