Today has been a pretty bad day - you know, one of those when you've had it up to your eyeballs and then someone thinks it'll be fun to push you a little bit farther just to see what'll happen. Finally I told the family that I was going to go do something alone for a while, and I did. It's very, very rare that I have time alone like that.

Anyway, I went shopping - something else I never do, because I have boys who have no interest in women's clothing and make their lack of interest abundantly clear. It's more trouble than it's worth except for quick in-and-outs for necessary things. I started Christmas shopping...and then I thought "What the ****!" and started shopping for me. Clothes shopping. I took my time, looked at stuff, tried stuff, realized that I had an amazing number of options.

What I didn't do was go eating, which is what I would have done a year ago. And the purchase I made was my first-ever entire outfit for working out in. It's very cute.

Changes DO happen, eventually.

Yay!! Good for you

Good for you... you should do that more often!

Congratulations on taking some time for yourself and buying something cute to work out in!

I love workout clothes! LOL! I'm in that stage where I'm not ready to buy a lot of clothes yet so I'm making due. But darnit, the gym is walled with mirrors! I want to look good!

Time out for yourself is a glorious thing! I'm glad you made the best of it.
