This will be a relatively short post. But I couldn't NOT blog about this. It's kind of a momentous thing, you know?
I was out with a really good friend of mine (she had to do some returning of things, shopping, etc.) and though I didn't have any plans to buy anything, I figured it couldn't hurt to try on some swanky expensive clothing while we were out...cuz that's always fun, right?
This dress I picked up was $158. I would never spend that on a dress. I could probably find something very similar to it at Ross or T.J. Maxx or something for like $20 anyway...but that's not the point. We're at Ann Taylor. This place is pretty fancy (not REALLY fancy) and all of the clothing is GORGEOUS. I pick up a size 2. Why? Because I'm crazy and I want to see how far I have to go before I can fit into it. How many more inches must I lose? So I take into the dressing room. Prepare for disappointment. Slide. Shimmy. Zip. Wtf?
Size...effing...2. (This is at 5'6.5" and 128 lbs. as of this morning, btw...)
My day was made, obviously.
:D
I mean, other shit is going on in my life that is not so awesome. Naturally. Really...not...awesome. :( Heartbreaky stuff that makes my soul ache. But...you know? This kind of little afternoon pick-me-up can't hurt.
I put it back and told myself that it'll be on sale in a few months...or the discount rack at T.J. Maxx next week. ;)
Love ya, ladies. Sottile, thank you for the Beautiful Blogger award. YOU, milady, are beautiful. I'll have to do the proper give'embackouts when my daughter's not bein' all rambunctious and needing bedtime stories. ;)

And that dress? Well, put bluntly, it's kind of the sex. Just saying.
Aww, bedtime stories. :] I miss those. You're so wonderful, it's amazing. It seems like you're one of those mothers that's just absolutely effing awesome. I kind of wish I could be like you.
