went to Costco for four things, hahaha…
came home with three of them and just a few other things…
including leggings that I had picked up a while ago, and loved, in a different colour… shorts with side pockets (spring must be coming, right!), two v-neck tops… salad, and maybe a fun snack;-)…

big girl pants, clothes, memories, paper doll, play, tabs, widow
recently I was looking at photos on a website and came across this picture…
it reminded me of paper dolls when I was small…
it was fun dressing them… doesn’t it look like the little tabs used to hold the clothes on the doll…
of course that was a while ago, lol…

big girl pants, clothes, packing, preparing, pyjamas, sandals, shopping, suitcase, summer, travel, widow
bought some new pyjamas on the weekend when I was shopping with the boys…
they are very comfortable… only problem is that the bottoms are about six inches too long, lol…
thought about just chopping them off but after checking the idea out with a sewer realized that wasn’t such a good plan…
today I took them to City Place to get shortened… will be ready tomorrow afternoon… just in time for the packing plan…
have all of the summer clothes out but haven’t had time to try them on to be sure they fit and decide on which pieces to pack… a Saturday job…
need to decide whether I need a new pair of walking sandals… guess I better make up my mind soon…

big girl pants, ChefsPlate, clothes, IKEA, quiet, Rona, sky, snow, Superstore, widow
was anticipating a quiet day but it didn’t turn out that way… did take a few pictures of the gorgeous snow…
worked on a project and then headed out to meet my kids…
we met up at IKEA, did a little shopping and then headed to Moxie’s for lunch… a wander through Rona and then I headed toward home as they went off to a soccer game…
stopped at Superstore to pick up a few groceries and some clothes jumped into my cart…
couple of pairs of leggings and three long-sleeve tops… with the cold weather haven’t seemed to have enough warm things for work…
bit of a nap and then I made Lemon Chicken and Rosemary Pappardelle from my ChefsPlate box…
the sky was beautiful again tonight…
finished work on the project and watched a bit of tv…
off to clean up from supper…

40 pounds, between, big girl pants, clothes, diabetes, jacket, jeans, renew, size, wardrobe, weight loss
since November of 2014, and my diabetes diagnosis, I have lost forty pounds…
I’ve had to renew my wardrobe a few times during the process…
this morning I was shopping, looking for new pants, including jeans, and a few tops…
apparently I am between sizes again… makes it so much harder to find things that fit, sigh… will have to look in another couple of stores…
my daughters were both surprised about the jeans as I never wore them until three or four years ago… I only have one pair and they are getting too big to wear…
really happy that this jacket we picked up yesterday fit nicely…
been hard to let some pieces go but it is also getting clear that many items are way too big… continue with a box in the dining room which collects all the things that no longer make the cut…
