I am sorry dear readers for not blogging today. Do you know why I wasn’t blogging? Because I was SHOPPING. Yes. SHOPPING. Shopping is better then bloggin. And let me tell you sumthin… shopping is way more fun when you ain’t FAT. Lots of choices I left the kiddos home with daddy and I spent the whole day at the mall, single-handily helping to improve our economy. I have nothing that fits me from the last two seasons so I had to go…. Really I did. Last summer I was 6 sizes bigger then I am now. For the last 2 years while I have lost weight, I have been doing 90% of shopping at goodwill, value villiage, etc. So I had this huge shopping spree coming. And hubby gave me his blessing. God I love that man. He knows when he lets me shop it makes me HOT. Hopeful bastard.

And of course, since I am starting over in the clothing department, I am really being picky. You know how you look in your closet and you have bazillion pieces of clothes you bought “on sale” but you wish you just had a few nice stylish outfits? Yeah me too. So I am not going to buy crap clothing just cause it’s on sale. Or because it fits. It’s going to look decent on me and be trendy. Quality vs. Quanity. Holy crap shopping can be SO MUCH FUN!

So I bought new bras and panties too. Cute little low rise numbers. Some bras match the panties. Amazing that they can do that now… never had matching stuff when I was fat. Today I bought one sexy lavender one with matching panties that should knock hubby’s socks off. And I got measured for new bras. That was exciting. Ok… not really. But my dear husband thought I should mention it. He thinks maybe I’ll get more Google hits if I talk about breasts. Ha!

Then I bought some shorts. I also bought several pairs of jeans. A yoga outfit. I don’t do yoga mind you… but its very comfy and I think it might inspire me to exercise at some future date. At least now I’ll look so damn cute & athletic while I chauffer the kids around. And I bought this new wash and wear button down blouse at Eddie Bauer. The sales girl swore to me that it doesn’t need ironing. If it doesn’t, I’m going to go buy more of them. I hate ironing. And I bought four pairs of shoes. OMG FOUR! I didn’t used to buy lots of shoes… but watching Sex in the City has been a bad influence. I tried on lots of low-rise jeans…but they just didn’t work for me. They made my ass look fat. Don’t tell hubby but I bought a really expensive pair of Lucky Jeans that look REALLY good. They were quite the splurge. If I put my sexy new underwear on underneath them, he probably wont look at the price tag.

I seriously do not understand the sizing in this country however. Nothing is standardized. I mean I bought things in THREE different sizes. Shouldn’t be that big of a difference between jeans should there? And… I tried on pants at the Gap and Eddie Bauer in the same STYLE and they were DIFFERENT. What’s with that? How the heck are you supposed to order this crap online if sizing isn’t standardized. Especailly if it isn’t stardardized within the same freakin’ style!

But I’m not going to bitch anymore about nonstandardized sizing… cause I am HAPPY I got cute new clothes! I had so much fun!

So that’s why I wasn’t around today. Aren’t you glad you asked?
