WOW pantyhose moment

Hi all, I'm out here in LA again; off to Florida (6:30 am flight on Thurs) and last night I ventured out to Bloomies to buy tights.  As I may have mentioned (LOL) I DESPISE shopping.  But I knew I needed them, I put on the GPS, and out I went.

When in the store, bypassing the $850.00 purses, I got to the hose department and immediately looked for my size, Large or Q.   Nooooooooooooooo, wrong size.  Imagine my happy surprise when I found a really cute pair, checked the label, and I'm a S/M.  then I checked again.  Then I smiled a huge smile!  (Luckily nobody was around.)    I know I keep taking in my skirts,  and my coats are absolutely swimming on me.    I'm not buying any new clothes until spring *** 2 months?) because then I know WHEN, not if, I lose more weight, it will not be so much that I'll ruin the clothes by taking them in.  I have had to buy some blouses & had a definate WOW moment when the Banana PETITE medium fit.  (How nice of AMEX to send me a $100 gift certificate!) So, that's the bright spot of my week.  My contract for this job is up end of May, as I've posted, and they're not renewing & I don't want them to. I hate it.  The volunteer I "report" to out ihere s a young, rich, spoiled b**ch. UGGGGGGG, I just know she's going to complain about something, then I'm going to hear about it from my chairman.   I'm starting to really worry--if I don't find a new job in the next 4 months, we're screwed!   I hate people who manage to find fault, no matter what.  Anyway, at least I had a really good WOW moment in the m iddle of a really crappy week, and I did manage to fit some whining in here.  Sorry for that, I am  grateful to have a job, sometimes my self-esteem really tanks in this one!   Can't wait to come home on Sunday. hugs to you all,

thanks, Maryellen.  Oh yeah, forgot to mention, they're fishnet!  VERY tight weave, but I've NEVER worn anything but opaque!  Wearing them in about 1 hour, so I'll let ya know!

Thanks, Cheri.  I can't wait to be home...I'll even sit through the super-bowl w/my DH.  Not that I don't like watching sports, because I do, it's just that he thinks he knows better than the coaches.   When the Yankees play, 3 of us watch on 2 or 3 T.V.'s, and nobody watches with him! And trust me, you'll feel better when you give up the granny ankles!

That's  great!! I haven't worn pantyhose in years!! It should be a fun experience when I get back to a size that works!! (note the sarcasm!!) Sorry about the stress at work!! I wish I had a cure for the a-holes we have to deal with in the workplace!!! I've got one that's a freakin' doozy!! UGH!!! Good Luck & have a safe trip back home!!!
