Time Flies When You're Having Fun

I can't believe another month has gone by. I've had so many WOW moments since the last time I posted. Here are a few....

*I can now shop in the Misses Department of JcPenny's and Kohl's.
*I can fit in an airplane seat with room on either side of me and without needing a seat belt extender.
*I can wrap a bath towel around me and it overlaps so I can run to get the phone without being totally naked :)

I have to say that I am enjoying shopping these days. I have had to buy clothing so that I don't freeze to death since winter is on its way. I have a bunch of cardigan sweaters that are great for layering that should get me through the winter and I have had to buy bulky socks since my feet are always cold (even colder than before). I try to keep about 3 pairs of pants that fit at all times since it is really hard to dress for work when your pants are falling off of you. Recently I've hit a few sales where it was buy 1 get 1 for 99 cents. I tried to get a pair of pants that would fit now and one that would fit later on so that I have something fun to look forward to. I am in a size 14 now for the most part, I have a couple of pairs of pants that are 14 that are a little too tight for my liking, but in a couple of weeks they should be fine. All my size 16 pants were dropped off at the Salvation Army today with my second load of the year. Taking the very minimum credit on all of donated clothing has added up to a nice tax right off for the year. I hope that someone out there needs clothing and that my donations will help them out!!

I am not planning on buying any more clothing until after Christmas. I've asked for gift cards or clothing from everyone as I feel like I am going through clothes like water. When I buy things I won't spend more that $20 on anything except for a heavy sweater which I might go up to $30 if it is on sale and I really like it. I'm already starting to look forward to the warm weather next year so that I can buy cute clothes for the summer. I've turned into a girly girl and it is rather scary :)

I'm looking forward to seeing family and friends over the holidays as everyone has said the change is so dramatic, I can't wait to see what they think!
