@ECBG Good to hear from you. Been laying in bed watching TV. Tried on some of the Susan Graver pants (weird striped) I bought. Can I say "Circus Tent"....not a good look in a size 20!. Actually, they were too big.
I wish you lived near me. I'd give you some of this ummmm...(stuff/junk) I end up buying and never send back. I give it to friends all of the time. I haul stuff back but sometimes I think...I'll use it, but I don't.
This past Fall I had a friend clean out a bunch of rooms (tons of Temptations, pots and pans, etc). She had a yard sale. I let her keep the money and I thought it was going to her church, but....(anyway, whatever). They do nice things for me so it's all OK.
You know lori, lori here? She and I email each other. She's so sweet. I enjoy hearing from her. Funny thing, the other day I sent her a picture of me and my youngest daughter. She said I didn't look like she thought I'd look like. She said she thought I'd look like Ms Marple. I don't know what she looks like but I think she's old. Ha! Lori is sweet and I know she didn't mean anything bad about it.
I keep thinking "I need to call the guy who repairs stuff for me and make a 'punch list' so I can get this house ready to sell. I just hate having someone in my house (I'm outgoing, but many times I'm a recluse). I have a dear friend I eat with maybe 4 times a week. It's real easy, either I call her or she calls me. The place where I live is kinda different in that up until this past year we've always had widows or single people/women who live in these houses. Most are retired. It's a very laid back community. Now they are moving out (they got their ummmm I'm thinking of a better word than the one that starts with an S that I want to use) they got their stuff together and downsized! Ha!
I was telling my friend it seems like in the past few years the weather seems to be a month behind. Like we've been having very high March winds. This is April. I live up on a hill so when that wind comes whipping around, let's just say I feel like Dorothy in her house when the tornado hit! Ha!
I hope you are able to find the job you want. I used to shop with my daughter at the White House/Black Lable store in our area. They are sizes 6 and so on. You are right. The stores are small and they don't expect you to carry tons of clothes at the same time. It's nice to shop there because the salesperson will bring you another size if needed to try on. Usually though my girls have me running to get the size.
My youngest daughter (soon 36) is going to a wedding and some parties this weekend. She's wigging out because she has to get some new outfits. She's put on some weight, so she struggles on what looks good. She lives in Denver so she does Facetime with me. I get so dizzy looking at her in the outfits, but I'll do anything for my girls. They don't like it but they know I'll tell them the truth. You should hear our arguments! You'd die laughing. I can't imagine walking past her and hearing her argue with no one in the fitting room! Ha!
I'd typed some things but deleted them (too much info here). If you want to and can figure out a way (like lori lori did) we can exchange emails so there's more privacy. She and I did it and we don't constantly email each other (maybe once or twice a week), just to keep in touch.
It's up to you. Take care of yourself. Remember, you are doing someone a favor by working there because you have a lot to offer. People are always so grateful to have a job and they forget that you are also offering them something.
