Shrinking Wardrobe

Ok so I am starving and still getting sick alot but I just did my second closet sweep and I have to share. I can not believe the clothes I am getting into. Thank god I saved so much over the years...it's like having a brand new wardrobe every single week. It is CRAZY FUN! I just tried on some jeans that haven't seen the light of day for about 8 years and they fit! Boy that felt good to zip them right up and not even struggle. I had pretty much stopped wearing jeans for the past couple years because I couldnt even get into the top sizes and if I did they looked ridiculous.
I think I mentioned that flip flop skirt I bought in Florida about 6 years ago - a bit small- thinking i would just lose 10 pounds and be able to wear it. Well I never did, and it still had the tags on. I've been wearing it for a few weeks now- and its getting too BIG! I am trying to stay on top of the closet because if I dont catch a size at the right time- I am blowing by it. This is truly a foreign experience to me but oh yes I am enjoying it! It does kill me packing up all my old fat clothes- even though they are big- they are gorgeous- and expensive- I never skimped on clothes. I just hope someone can enjoy them.

Nick had a swimming lesson this morning in our pool- kind of a flop...he didnt want to take his swimmies off so he just practiced doing all the stuff he's been doing but we didnt make any progress. The good news is the girl who came over is great and she babysits! So it will be a nice backup if my inlaws are busy. Of course she's leaving for college in a few weeks...but she promised to stay in touch for school breaks and summer. I wish I had met her sooner. Nick really liked her- I think he had a bit of a crush! It was too cute.

Well we are off to Au Bon Pain in search of soup. I did have something new this morning- half of a Vita-Top Blueberry Bran muffin- yum. It felt a bit heavy but not too bad.
