Default I've been brought to tears....

.....while trying on clothes in the dressing room.

Today, just for kicks I went to my favorite store (Christopher and Banks) and took a size 8

....yes, I said a size 8 into the dressing room. I was just wondering how feasible it MIGHT be to be in a size 8, post tummy tuck....

....well, gang....it's more than feasible because I pulled up those darn pants and ZIPPED THEM UP!!!!!

he he he....I was in such shock I ran out....(almost forgot to get dressed. ) and grabbed 4 more pair of an assortment of size 8 pants. Well, each and EVERY ONE went on and zipped! They were a wee bit snug but I'm still in shock that I was able to get them on.

So did I buy them? NOPE!!!! Why not you ask? Well, I lovingly put them on the rack with a kiss and told them I'll be back for them post-tummy tuck.

.....for me? Well, this is a dream I NEVER dreamed. I'm serious...

oh...btw, Donna? There was a marching band. Scared half the costumers right out of that store!

Beth sooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited for you girl.

A size 8 yes you should kiss them (goodbye that is) because after you come in after your tummy tuck it will be a size 6 that you take home.

I love sharing in all these wow moments and can't wait to start having a few of my own. If this is what I have to look forward to it is going to be so fun.

Default So cute

You are so cute....way to cool, and so funny. I can just see you in the store. I am proud of you for putting them back. I bought way too many clothes not realizing that the TT would make a big difference.
