I know that’s a strange title but let me explain. I got a Christmas bonus last night at our office party. Normally, we use this money to finish out Christmas for the girls. However, this year we’re doing great so hubby told me to use it on myself but I had to spend it ON me; no buying for anyone else. So, I headed out at lunch to buy some clothes.

I went to Cato’s and found several items that I really liked. And I bought them. This is big for me b/c my normal procedure would be to try them on; sigh and get depressed about how big I am. However, today, I just thought, you know what: this is where I am so I might as well look good. So I bought 3 sweaters (one pink, one emerald green and one lime green) a pair of chocolate brown pants, a white long sleeved t-shirt, brown shoes and a necklace. All for me. No one else: just me. I have a hard time doing that usually but I really enjoyed it today. I’m really happy about the pink sweater b/c it matches perfectly a coral necklace/earring set hubby gave me recently! Oh, and I found another Cato sweater at a consignment shop for eight bucks and I’ve still got some bonus money left. Yeah!

So, yes, I’m a fatty right now but I’m at least fashionable while on my way to releasing the skinny woman trapped inside my body!  

Oh, and I seem to have lost my bahhumbuggy-ness as well. I was focusing on the wrong things. When I finally got around to putting out one of my nativity scenes this morning, it brought everything back into focus for me. Next year, the nativity scenes are coming out first!  

Have a great evening.
