Just had to share, because I'm feeling soooooooooooooo good about myself.

I went shopping with my best friend last Thursday and we were in Macy's.  Now, let me start off by saying I have been in Macy's maybe a total of like 2 times my whole life.  Just not my kind of store.  I always thought of Macy's as too expensive and people who are snobbish.  Sorry....no offense to anybody who shops there.  Just my impression, but I think I've been wrong all along.

Anway, I needed to buy a dress for two weddings coming up.  Well, I got one and if I do say so myself, I looked amazing in it.  And I can't wait for me to take pictures and to post them on here.  The wedding is on October 11 and the other one is November 1.  The one in October, I'm going down to my hairdresser's so she can style my hair the way it's supposed to be styled.  I'm sooooooooooo excited.  This is the first time I have EVER looked forward to buying a dress and to go to a wedding.  I always dreaded it.  Oh, and the dress is a size 14!!!

Then I bought a pair of jeans size 14 and an extra large shirt.  Went out on Saturday with my sister-in-law and danced my rear end off.  Well, not really....there's still junk in the trunk :)  But I had a blast.  And one of Shannon's friends apparently was digging me!!!  I was like what???  He liked me.  This is all new.  I'm not really interested in him, but it was very flattering.

Then today I went back to Macy's -- I'm becoming a snob...just kidding -- and I bought 5 shirts and they were all size large!!!  OMG!!!! WHAT????  A size large???  This is just insane.  But I'm loving it!!!  Yeah me :)  And the best part is I spent $40.00 on 5 shirts!!!  So maybe Macy's isn't so bad :)  You just have to look for the sales :)

THIS SURGERY IS THE BEST!!!!!  THANK YOU, DR. BOE!!!!  AND THANK YOU BARIX!!!!

I went to Macy's when I was in NYC in 2000. They actually had a nice selection of regular and plus size dresses for special occasion.
Congratulations on finding a great dress and  that you found some other nice things in your new size!
