I wasn't tall enough for the stirrup pants! I wanted them so badly... I distinctly remember trying them on in the Gap dressing room. I loved my funky print sweaters from Esprit!

Ahhh Esprit...and Bum Equipment sweatshirts and Girbaud jeans. I legit think I have the work ethic I have today because back in the day I had to work like a gazillion hours at $2.75/hour to afford to buy $70 Girbaud jeans so I realized that hard work correlates with money and with buying the things I want at a very young age! My mom was the, "Pay money for jeans with holes in them! Because they have a tag that says Girbaud! NO WAY!" type...so I was on my own...
Good Morning All...

Hi all! Happy Thursday!
Yesterday was sunny and gorgeous here! Today we're back to drizzle and grey skies, but at least we had a little break in the gloom!
- I decided to order most of what I buy via Amazon until this crazy virus simmers down up here in the Emerald City. I still have to go out for alcohol to make hand sanitizer, but actually as I type this I realize I can buy that online too, I think that I just have to promise the site that I'm over 18. By the time this virus winds down I'll probably be certifiably stir-crazy! Of course I still can go out for walks, etc., and since nowhere here deliver a fresh groceries on the island, I'll make grocery store runs from time to time too. But I'll try to minimize mingling with crowds for a bit. People are very concerned about getting sick up here, I guess I am too.
QOTD: In junior high, I had a blue turtleneck bodysuit with an Argyll pattern and matching tights. I wore those with a short, cute navy blue suede miniskirt and tall suede boots. That was the beginning of my love affair with tall boots, which continues to this day! I kinda wanted white go-go boots, which were only calf-high, but my refined and well-bred mother felt that they were in distinctly poor taste (possibly because most were made of vinyl or plastic). Anyway, she refused to buy them for me. I probably did look better in knee-high boots, anyway. Briefly, I also had a pretty striking Vidal Sassoon haircut, with very long bangs. I was much more attuned to fashion trends then - I knew what was coming before it arrived, and I knew what was finished before it started to fall in popularity. Now I'm not that way - I'm a clothes-hound for sure, as my overstuffed closets can attest, but I know what looks best on me and what I enjoy, and buy garments for the long haul, eschewing fads. Speaking of which, it is quite literally a daily joy to be happy with my body, despite my need for plastics. I am so very grateful for my second chance at life, via WLS!
First: coffee
B: still eating that roast
L: as above

Have fun today, you guys!
Another beautiful day and supposed to stay nice thru next week. Today is extremely windy. I'm thinking we will be hit with a snow storm before March is over.
QOTD: Girls were wearing their dad's white shirt with jeans. My mother thought it was ridiculous. Didn't last long.
Took it easy today. Having lower back pain.
Eats today:
Fair life protein drink

Laughing Cow cheese; Good Thins crackers
