hey all!

Ok so I went shopping today and returned that outfit I mentioned in my last post!

I then went to New York Fries ( I thought of you Lizzie ) and treated myself to my favorite food ever! Poutine! I could seriously kiss the person who invented that!

Anyway, I went on to pick up some gift cards I needed at the Mall, and I walked buy Laura: an expensive store that has a plus section. Well the sales lady was really nice, and although normally I would have walked right by (being that it's an expensive store) I was desparate for a pair of pinstriped pants that fit. I found a pair... and although I thought that they were a little bigg for me and would definately need to be hemmed... what the heck I will just by them! So I did. I almost ended up buying a shirt too - but the styles that they had were so not my age... that I just left with the pants.

On my way out of the mall I stop to look at the map of the stores and low and behold there is a Reitmans in the mall... I love Reitmans... So I turned myself around and thought what can it hurt to just take a look. I found a great pair of all black pin striped pants that fit really nicely and don't need to be hemmed... yeah! And I couldn't have asked for better Sales ladies, they were young and hip, and around my size! They were so helpful getting me all types of shirts.. and giving me the honest opinion. I trusted their opinion because they were my size, and unlike skinny people (who I sometimes think just tell you that your clothes look good - well - because they are afraid to offend and want the sale) know where I am coming from and understand my body. I left the store with one pair of pants and two different top options... and accessories! Crazy I know... especailly if you know me - I am not an accessorie person!

Anyway I brought the clothes home and tried them on for Ray and he was like WOW - YOU PICK THOSE? YOU LOOK GREAT! Which is totally the response I wanted.

I feel great in the clothes. One outfit is for a wedding, although its mainly black... but the shirt has a gold buckle on it and I am wearing Gold accessories. So hopefully it won't be to bad of Form. I don't know - what do you all think?

The other outfit I am going to wear Christmas eve and for any job interviews that I may get.... because I am looking for a job.... please pray that I get the right one....

We watched the movie John Tucker Must Die tonight and it was cute, and funny, and surprisingly clean. We also watched Ice Age: The Meltdown, which was great too.

Well I should be off... Ray is snoring on the couch and who knows how long Joshua will stay sleeping for. Although he has had 2 great nights this week 8pm -8 am... of course not in a row though. And he has already cried a few time tonight since we put him down... It could be a long night.

Lizzie, Happy Birthday! (I know its a day early)
