bloodsong1I've been meaning to post for two days now. *sigh*
Thursday night was my annual birthday shopping trip w/Mama A. I drove everywhere. ^_^
We had dinner at the Plaza, our favorite place, and then headed over to Kohl's. Lo and behold, I am actually a size 6 now. Really and truly. I know, I was stunned too. Sadly all the cute/dressy tops were either designed for women with boobs, (I may be a size 6, but it's only from the waist down) or made me look like a college kid, which at almost 31, I'm SO not and I have no interest in returning to said look.
The remarkable thing was trying on a pair of elastic-waisted grey pants and realizing they made me look fat. I had NEVER seen that before in the mirror and I was stunned. I now understand what normal-sized women go through. Ladies, you have my sympathies.
The Cuteness was not left out, we found some really cute jammies.
My haul consisted of the following:
3 pairs of pants; black w/elastic waist, dark green stretch jeans, & tan that are a leetle loose in the waistline only.
1 navy blue suit jacket
1 dark blue skirt, just past the knee but full and swishy
1 black half slip (as the skirt is sheer enough to put off Mama A, not that I care)
The Cuteness got three pairs of jammies, two long sleeve footed, one pink striped w/a butterfly and one covered in strawberries, and a summer pair two-piece set that are blue w/pandas and OMG CUTE!
I also picked up a blue ball candle for our Bhudda, as its current candle is almost gone and it likes blue.
Tonight is the March Family Birthday Party for Mama A, me and The Cuteness. The Cuteness gets her own cupcake-cake. I'm looking forward to it.
As my birthday is next Monday, and The Cuteness is the following Friday, I will take cookies into the office. The Cuteness will get a picture book or two from us on Friday.
In totally unrelated news, I have decided I would like to do a photographic study of classical paintings of women with myself as the model. Yes, that would include nudes. And I would like Zahde to be my photographer. Zahde? Interested?
