Shopping Trip

I am now the owner of a quilted vest. I bought it tonight. I have wanted these before, but never would buy one, because the last thing I wanted was some "extra padding" on me. It really looked cute on me tonight. I got a blue one. Hopefully, there will be a picture of me in it, AFTER I get my hair cut and colored on Saturday.

I also got several skirts and sweater type things. I had zero winter clothes that I can wear. I got quite a bit for the money, as I bought them at Cato. Now I need some new flannel pjs, and life will be swell. Ok, I am also thinking about splurging and getting a pair of flannel lined jeans. I've always wanted them, but not been able to have them as a former fat girl.

As I was shopping the woman who was helping said some interesting things to me. She was joking about how I was taking down all her display clothes. I thought about it....display clothes are always the SMALLER sizes, because they look the best when displayed. I am wearing the display clothes! Woot! Woot! Then when I was checking out the same lady was saying how she would buy cute clothes just like me if she were as small as me.

I got to have dinner with Ben tonight. That was nice to be able to see him for a little bit.

Need some zzzz's, will write more later.

Running

It is beautiful outside, a bit cold, but all I can think about is how nice a good run would feel. I love that I am thinking that way. Of course, right now I am watching two boys, so I can't. I really think this warm weather is going to bust my exercise blahs. I was even checking out this website the other day that listed local races, so I can perhaps do more 5Ks. (I have not done my first one yet, but I will be before too long.)

I want more clothes. Ok, I want more clothes that compliment my current weird looking body. I cannot handle tank tops. My shorts are going to have to be capris until I get an inner thigh repair. I seem to be wearing the same few things over and over again. I really hate that. I want some fun clothes. When I have on clothes that fit, I feel so good about myself.

I also had this crazy notion the other day that I actually need to get a belt. It has been years since I have worn one. I don't even know where to start.

!!!

I want to shop so bad! I want some newer (smaller) blue jeans that fit me better. I would love more than just jeans, some dresses would be nice too! My closet is so bare. I know I need to wait, but it is so hard! I am going to Toronto/Niagara Falls the first full week of April. Lets see if I can wait until then. That is six weeks away. I'm not so sure, but that is the goal. It would be cool if I could have one of those magically skip an entire size moments. I just might if I can find the patience to wait.
