I felt better today, at least most of the day. John and I are going to his companies Christmas Party Thursday night. I wanted to buy something festive to wear. I have a black dress I wore last year, but I wanted something nicer. Jodi and I went shopping and I tried on a really pretty long red dress and jacket set. The dress is sleeveless and A line with an empire waist line. The jacket is really cool looking, it has kind of heavy lace trim and the back has a slit down the center, which buttons near the bottom. It’s hard to describe here, but the jacket is very much tailored looking. The dress has a slit on the side. Anyway, I tried on an 18 and it was too big, they didn’t have a 16, they had a 14. I didn’t think it would fit, but it did. I couldn’t believe it. I knew I had lost weight, but from a 20 to a 14? I was so happy. I haven’t been a 14 in many years. Needless to say I bought the dress, and ear rings and a small hand bag.
I think I have just about finished shopping. Jodi needs a couple more things, but she has been with me on the past couple of shopping trips.
John has been fussing at me for buying him gifts, he will just have to return what he doesn’t want. I want him to have a nice Christmas and buying him things makes me happy. Especially if it’s something he needs, or at least I think he needs. He reads this journal too, so John, I love you and it makes me happy to give you gifts. I get so much joy watching everyone open gifts. So be nice!
That’s all for now. Later folks
