Good morning everyone! Love hearing the stories of how everyone is making out on their first few days - it is tough but hang in there, it's worth it! I kept a bag of shredded lettuce at work with me for those "I'm starving" moments the first few weeks, along with a big bottle of water.
Thrift store shopping yesterday was very successful - for work, I got 2 pairs of pants, 2 skirts and a couple of sweaters and for Mexico, I got 2 pairs of shorts, 4 t-shirts and 3 sleeveless tops. All size 13/14 or large - yay!!! And all for $78 - double yay!!! I still need to get bathing suits - I'm actually looking forward to that
- but I feel better having some clothes now. My mom went through her closet and gave me some of her clothes - she's always been smaller than my sister and I - so I was pleasantly surprised when this gorgeous red leather jacket she gave me fit! I actually called her to make sure she meant to give it to me
We went to a restaurant in the mall for lunch and I had an Asian chicken salad - grilled chicken with an Asian coleslaw, no carrots, no dressing and no wonton noodles. It was yummy! My sister got herself a suitcase and a few t-shirts and things too. It's starting to feel a little more real that we're leaving in 3 weeks.
Well, I have to venture out to pick up some groceries for the week - don't really want to since it's so cold out there but sometimes you just have to.
