    Kim,

    I am SOOO happy for you!! A new job, weight loss. Looks like things are FINALLY looking up for you!

    When I left Michigan, I was 189 lbs. I weighed myself at my daughter's house this morning and I'm down to 153! I've gone from size 18 jeans to a size 12!!! It' feels great!

    Good luck at your new job! Knock 'em dead chickie!!

    Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever. 12/02

    Kim - could you try Freecycle? Offer clothes of a certain size, then REQUEST clothes of a certain size?

    Might work...or if you are a member of a church or other group, do a swap of a few items!

    Could save both sides a few bucks!

    Did that already several times and jot JUNK. I gave away great clothes and got smelly (cigarettes or mildew) and stained junk. I was very disappointed to say the least.

    Look, folks, I know how to save money better than most people here. I won't buy something unless its an abolute need AND a great price. I would not have bought my clothes this afternoon if I thought for one second that I could have found something cheaper or better. I was refusing to buy clothes til now because I tried to convince myself that my clothes were a-ok, but when mom says I look frumpy, it has to be pretty bad.... especially since mom likes things very loose to begin with.

    Wasn't there a fashion phase many years back that didn't last at ALL - the Sack Dress?

    It turned into the Shift Dress...

    Maybe I confused it with the Balloon Dress... The skirt of it is DEFINITELY LOOSE! http://www.chinatowner.com/images/pr...80/32180_m.jpg

    Congratulations on the weight loss. I wish I could say the same here!

    Congrats on the pretty new clothes ... nothing like having something nice and new to wear to a new job. Just always makes you feel more confident!

    Good luck, I know you will be great!

    Hugs,
    Kim
