Go Candy!!!  That's awesome!  How are you going to celebrate today?

99.6 lbs today.  Big day for me, but I'm already looking forward to Friday, actually :-)

Have a good one all!

I will celebrate today by NOT murdering anyone that calls me in a tax-induced panic. LOL!

I bought myself a book on my kindle that I've been eyeing for a while :)

Way to go,Candy!!! WOOT!!!

Wednesday, I am interviewing for a part time job at the best place on Earth - a library. I've been volunteering there for a few months and one of the ladies is retiring. They asked me if I would be interested in the job and I said Absolutely! I can still do my business from home and get a little extra fun money on the side.

So, I hiked up my britches and went out last Friday to find some good interview clothes. I run my own business out of my house and don't really have a need to wear nicer stuff. I found a suit, some slacks, and a couple of shirts. Very excited. My girlfriend says I have to take the black pair of pants back because they're too big and baggy. I do love her for saying that.

I think I am breaking through my fear of shopping. Going to just a few things seems to do the trick for me. I bought them all on sale, so if they don't fit me when I get to goal, I won't be heartbroken to see them go.

You all have a wonderful day!

I HATE that I can't edit. Please excuse the mistakes - especially in that last paragraph. Urgh.

Oooh... I've always said I wanted to work in a library. Then I volunteered at my kid's school and the kids nearly drove me crazy. I had fun with the ones that were real readers, talking about books and helping them choose one, but a few were like "where's the comic books". *face palm* Congrats, that sounds AWESOME. Good luck vibes heading your way, chicka!

Ugh. Shopping. I have to do laundry twice per week now to wash the stuff that fits. But I don't wanna go. You can't make me! I'll just keep washing stuff. LOL!

I totally understand the shopping fear thing. I lost count of the number of times I walked into a store and walked back out with sweaty hives. Poor edelu kept having to talk me through the fear. **** It still kinda freaks me out. But, then I happened to go with my daughter and she's as opinionated and outspoken as I am. She gave it to me straight which is what I needed.

I still buy **** that is too big, but I like that most of it fits without the need for major alterations. I have stubs for legs, so I'm loving that the petite pants fit now.

Still can't wrap my head around the fact that I'm wearing 10-12 petite pants. M and L shirts. I look at the pants, put them up to me and think 'No ******g way are those going to slide up over my ass.' But, they do.

Yeah, I think I moved from fear to just being sick of dealing with it. I'm done. I've had temporary clothes for 18+ months and I'm ready to just buy nicer stuff.

Hehehe... yeah, hubby keeps giving me my son's jeans. LOL.

Petite legs here too - 28" inseam. Annoying when shopping for sure.

It really does take time for the head to catch up. Sometimes, I hold up my jeans and think, " they won't fit." But, they do. It can be surreal at times.
