Sunday,
Well, I have good news & bad news. The bad news is, I still hate shopping; doesn't matter for what, (except for food that is it seems), yesterday just proves it. Kohls seemed to be crazy busy, there wasn't a fitting room I was in that didn't have left overs in them. They make it so easy, all you have to do is take the items you took in out, either purchase or put on the "they put away rack"...what IS so hard about that anyway? Oh well...I bet I tried on 30 bras, in the end some came home, many more went on the they put away rack. The ones that came home, well, it remains to be determined if they stay home or go back where they came from. So, I did the bra thing...& then I wandered....bad move for my credit card...I could just about hear it screaming...OH NOOOOOOOOOOOO from my purse. So, like I said, I was wandering & looking & ended up over by the Jennifer Lopez collection & I thought, Ooooh...she's curvy, so, I wonder? Well all kinds of stuff I would never wear...but there were these jeans & this cute little orange top; A - I don't have any New jeans that really fit & B - I really like orange. Having NO idea what size is what anymore I thought I would start with an 8 & a 10 in the jeans. This is the good news part...Both were too big. A SIX FIT like a glove....lordy, do I like JL! Then there was this gorgeous electric blue skirt; long & full, just like I like, I took a medium & a small in, feeling encouraged from the jeans, I went for the small & it was too big...fell down to my hips practically & so darn long it was on the floor! I don't know if that was good or bad, cause I really could see that skirt in my closet! The short ending to this is that I did make a substantial purchase, I just couldn't decide on which size pants so I got both, 6's & 8's & will try them on when I feel calmer & less stressed....like this morning maybe?
Didn't really care for the new pizza recipe I tried yesterday. Ate too much of it too I think.
Oh, I just got the news...we are getting the boat out of storage today. Makes sense cause the dock is in.
Bacon & eggs for breakfast. New chicken recipe from here to try for supper. Boat to get, more laundry to do, (never done with that), get stuff organized for the work week, another busy Sunday & then the weekend is over.
Today I feel so thankful for Fatsecret & my buddies...You Guys Are AWESOME!

Yes, WTG Gigi on the shopping AND the clothes. So proud of you on the size 6. I want to be you. I promise you, I hate shopping more than you. My idea of shopping is buying online and returning what I don't want. But 30 bras? Whew. Not fun at all. Have a FABULOUS day, dahling.

Yeowzah! 6's and 8's??!!! You are some shrinking violet there, but in a really good way! I guess all that exercise is really taking the inches off. Hope you can eventually find a close relative of that electric blue skirt that will be small enough for you - isn't that a great phrase...."small enough for you"?!!! Enjoy your Sunday.

Wow - for someone who doesn't like shopping I think you did pretty well! And fitting into those tiny new jeans is just one of the rewards for all the hard work you do.

Bren...I totally agree, JL is totally gorgeous! I was happy to find something that fit in her line, & at a price I could afford!

Heather...I don't know about who hates shopping in the store more, but I will admit I am not afraid to click & ship & repeat. Way more fun that way, but with bras it could take months to get it right, unless we are talking sport bras, those are pretty easy to click & ship. I just got some really cute ones from one of my favorite sites, Athleta, the clearance section of course...yippee!

Sandy, I still haven't totally come to grips with what size I am now. I found myself gravitating to the 12's & 14's...I remember, I used to think how I wished I could wear the smaller sizes as that's what all the really cute clearance stuff was in. I just think I have been afraid to really shop for what would really fit!

Buffy, you know what I hate about shopping are the rude people, that & getting lost! It seems they have rearranged the store since I was there last so every time I came out of the dressing room I had to figure out how to get back to where I found something to get a different size...color...so frustrating!
