My Goodwill WOW

Hi to everyone !!!!!  Ok this goes to show that even at over two years post op you can still have WOW's.  I was at Springfield goodwill looking for stuff for the kids and found myself wondering over to the coat section for ladies. I have been wanting to find a nice coat and thought it wouldn't hurt to look. I was in the x tra large section and found nothing good. I then made my way to the large's and found a jacket that was BRAND NEW  still had tags on it from the retail store, I looked at it and the size was 12/14. I thought "no way will this fit me". I tried it anyways and guess what !!!! Yep it fit !!!!! I got an xtra cute jacket that was brand new and for the low low price of 20.00.  I just LOVE Goodwill. Before surgery I was at Burlington one year and found only ONE coat in the whole store that fit me and it was size 5x. My friends I have gone from a size 5x to a size large !!!!! I can't believe it !!!

 A non Goodwill experience I had yesterday at Cool springs. You guys should check out American Eagle store. They have a  buy one get half off the next item on everything in the WHOLE  STORE. anyways I found a shirt on sale that was cute, size get this, Medium. I tried it and it fit !!!! It was a whole $9.00 !!! I am in a state of shock I tell you.. LOL I actaully fit into a size medium shirt !!!!!!  WOOOOOO HOOOO !!!!

How cool is that?!! That is what I would call a NSV and a shopping victory.

YEAH!!!

Way to go Juanita!  There is nothing like fitting in something you would never think  you would.  My latest...size 33 pants!  Like Birdy said in a post earleier in the week...It's the little things!

*I THINK ALL OF US WLS GIRLS NEED A GOODWILL TOUR.  Wouldn't that be fun to visit a few area Goodwills together???  Ohh yyeaaaahhh

 A Goodwill Tour - where do I sign up?  I have only been to Fayetteville, Tullahoma, & Lewisburg ones.  I went to VA with my older son the end of May.  We did go shopping at the outlets in Williamsburg, but we also went to a thrift shop.  I am working the election on the 4th and have training for it in the morning.  Since tomorrow is .50 day at the Fayetteville Goodwill I will probably have to hit it first thing in the morning.

We have Goodwills everywhere! Let's see how many I can name...

 Hendersonville, Gallatin, Hermitage, Madison, Rivergate, Nolensville Road, Franklin, Down 8th Ave (but I don't feel safe there; its more like a crack house), Lebanon, I know I am missing some...  Where are some other good ones??  I like Hendersonville.
