Thank you guys for sharing your concern about my sister.  They don't know why her heart stopped...  just one of those things, I guess.   That explanation doesn't really give me much comfort.  She seems to be fine and sounds the same as she always has, so I'm not as panicky as I was.  I am, however, super sleepy!  But what else is new, I guess.  I'm always sleepy.  Stress makes it worse.

I had to shop for clothes yesterday so I wouldn't look like a total slob at my friend's wedding tomorrow.  Shopping was awkward.  After getting a few things at Macy's and failing miserably in trying to find pants, I finally found myself at Lane Bryant and got a great pair of black pants and a couple shirts.   I feel good that I have a few work outfits now that actually look decent.  I'm not thrilled about having to shop at Lane Bryant, though.  I remember losing weight before and thinking, I will never shop there again.  I've never been able to find pants that fit right at Lane Bryant until now.  They have this color coding system...  it worked out quite well!

Nothing much else to talk about really.   Just checking in.

 ...hugs and kisses to ya just the same! Glad your sister is doing well!!!  I hope that the wedding for your friend goes according to plan. And obviously I hope that you look amazing!!!

Oh, girl....I hear ya on the always being tired thing! I am always so. freakin. tired.!!!!!!!!!!! It's such a curse!! Ugh.

I wish you all the best my dear! Please take care of yourself as well...I know all about stress...hubby chopped off 3 fingers at work on the table saw a few months back and I was like "vomiting and headache" kind of stress, truly! He lost so much blood...I was so terrified that he would have a heart ache from all the blood loss. He is alright now. I hope all the best for you and your sis! You are in my thoughts!

Glad you were able to find some things to wear.  Don't worry about where they came from.  You are a work in progress, as are the rest of us. 

Glad your sister is doing better.  That is scary that they don't know why it happened.  Are they doing more tests?

i really appreciated your hugs comment on my blog.  i haven't been feeling too great, suffice to say, but all the virtual and real hugs i've been getting have been awesome.  i'm glad to hear your sister is doing better.  about the lane bryant, i totally agree that it doesn't matter where you shop... just as long as you feel like you are looking good!  and soon enough you will be shopping elsewhere as well.... just keep at it :)

I think that's really freaky what happened to your sister.  sorry, not to freak you out.

let me change the subject:
Cool, you have a wedding for thanksgiving weekend. I hate to shop unless i'm sure that i feel thin, i just can't hardly do it.  Or sometimes I can just shop for one thing - try on either tops or pants- only one or the other.

so stressful to be unhappy with body image.  I'm ready to be done with that forever.  just a few more years of exercise and I'll be all set..... happiness is a journey, not a destination.

are we there yet?
Keep working girlie! YAY for the new cute outfits!
