Something just dawned on me.
**Cue celestial music**
I rifled through my mailbox yesterday, standing in the hall, like I always do. I pulled out the obvious advertisements and marketing come-on’s, and stuffed them in the recycling bin conveniently placed right next to me, just like clockwork. Better than having to haul that paper up the stairs so I can toss it in the comfort of my apartment.
Well, yesterday, one of the things I pitched was an advertisement for Catherines. It’s a clothing boutique-y place in this area that caters to ‘women of size.’
Last time I was in Catherines, in January (I got a gift card), I couldn’t find a thing that fit me. I ended up getting some socks. Since then, I’ve been tossing the brightly-colored light cardstock in the recycling without noticing anything other than the name.
In short…I’ve shrunk myself straight outta the woman’s equivalent of ‘Big & Tall’ stores.
YEA, ME!!! All praises to Ketosis!
Sorry, Catherine(s)…It’s not you…it’s me. The magic just isn’t there anymore…
**should I send flowers?**

Congratulations! 😉

Thank you!
One of these days, I might just step on a scale again to see just how the numbers look. I haven’t owned a scale in decades.
the last such contraption I stepped on screamed in horror – spit out a rather higher number than I’d liked (263) which, in turn, made ME scream in horror.
I heard later the scale had to be put in an institution…it never recovered from the severe trauma of having an elephant step on its chest.

Haha! You’re hilarious!
Truth be told, I don’t do scales anymore. At all. Except when I go to the doctor and I make it a game to guess what my weight is before they weigh me. It was a lot of fun during my last pregnancy! I even got pretty good at guessing.
I made it all the way to 206 lb before I had my son. I was proud of myself because I had never been so heavy – big numbers are good, right? Right?! My doctor, however, was not amused.

I had heard a rumor that the whole ‘bigger is better’ line we keep hearing from the menfolk was pure, unadulterated hogwash. Now we have medical proof 😀

Yeah you!!! Flowers are always appropriate. Not always deserved but appropriate.

Catherine(s) must be heartbroken….to hear the news of my deflection on the internet. I didn’t even have the decency to break up with her in public.
I’m such a CAD!

Yay, you! That’s truly worth celebrating. Buy flowers, for sure, but keep ’em for yourself!
