CAUTION... A GOOFY SHARE ... shaping my journey .. SNIPPETS

BUT.. BUT... BUT... I did stop for a minute to snap pics of my shoes to post on Heidi's shoe thread on the main board here.... I do love shoes ... and I do have a walk-in shoe closet and a full attic for a clothes closet ... thank you DS (my dearests son) who was my builder of my awesome whacked closets ... LOVE YOU! ... if you would just apply yourself you would go sooooooooo far... but mommy loves you anyway ... now when oh when are you going to strip and redo that fugly floor in the den ... I mean the materials have been sitting waiting going on 6 years now ... SIGH...

ANYHOW ... my weekend AW'ing picture share... this is me starting July 2012 .. 

 

and I put my shirt on bass-awkward (ass-backward) just because I wanted the design in the front ... DATs the way I wore it! Now I am getting sick and tired of wearing my hair short and not having my long pieces or lace fronts on ... ..

 

I love love love this number .... wore it to first Sunday service yesterday...




and I took pics with my clothes on and the tags on them too ... going from a size 4-5X and a whooping highest recorded weight of 327 pounds and maintaining steadily in a range of 0-2-4 and XS-S is awesome in my book .... on 7/5/2012 I will be celebrating 5 years and 5 months post RNY .. I am living it and loving it like it was the first day even now!!!

I love love love this Ann Taylor's piece... Size 0 no stretch WOOT!

 

and I love love love the tag even better...




and I love love love the dress I have on at work today..




and I love love love the tag in it..



I loved this comfy dress too ... I have not even put a dent on my going back home closet clean-up...  my before and TODAY collage...
 


On Saturday I crashed after doing Samba in heels and Zumba toning right after... then KenKen took me supposedly bird watching in the friggin' woods off the trail ... with the two sets of binoculars I bought for both of us ... I saw NADA! there were too many animal sounds and rustling in the grass enough to spook both of us back onto the trail ... that and the fact that we forgot to remove the caps from our new binocular lenses ... dufus much? 

Can you tell that my shirt is on bass-awkward?




and of course my awesome furry babies kept my company .... they love love love licking ice in the summer... and I love love love chewing on ice ... be best crunch eva!

 

On Saturday I went walking on the beach in the evening with my awesome Bisou Bisou dress... I had to take the bodice in though ... and shorten the straps a bit so they would stay on my shoulders...




and I put on this 2 piece that my boss gave me .. she gave it to me a couple months before my surgery... she had gone to the islands and the bodice was too small for her ... she is tiny but has awesome boobs ... and I never ever dreamed I would have ever gotten in to this ... this is my third time wearing it ... and I wore it for a stroll on the beach with Al over the weekend...

Okay get your daughter, tell her I said I love your short hair and tell her I said she needs to talk you into keeping it as it looks hot and cute and funky.  NO LACE FRONTS!  I know she's on my side.  lol  But I get it, I get bored with my hair too, even now some days I just want something totally different, but damnit its cost me a fortune to get it highlighted and grown out I am sticking with it.  

You always look beautiful!  I can't remember one outfit I thought ehhh about.  Keep the pics coming I love looking at your clothes and shoes.  Even your different eye colours are kewl!

 Thank you beautiful!!!!! Like you I love variety... I ordered lenses in amethyst and brown at my last visit..my prescription are monovision - different strength in each eye and I no longer need reading glasses WOOT... Shhhh I am not telling my dd anything lol she loves my short hair and I do not after a week or so LOL..I need hair diversity..  your hair on the other hand is always BEAUTIFUL! I love your encouraging myself and others and yourself included to post pictures.... I remember everyone's shared before and afters and interims and I enjoy them all.. I love pictures ....

I love all the floral prints on you. I bought a dress at Old Navy ysterday on clearance, it was cute, hippy ish, wore it today and already one of the ruffles is separating. So glad Jim can sew lol

 Thank you beautiful... OMG I love love love your avie..... Heather your hair is glorious!!!! You need to come up here and cart away some of these dresses you are just as small too... Our former medical director gave me two suitcases filled with awesome unworn small dresses before she moved out of state... I have not even touched them nor taken them out the cases yet except for a beige Armani dress that was the first thing that I pulled out of one of the suitcases... I am so downsizing and preparing for only two seasons when I go back home....
