  1. I have been looking for shift and A line dress patterns for summer sewing. This is what I found, in 1960, the measure chart on the back of the pattern package has me wearing a size between a 12 and-14 with my measurements taken yesterday. Size 12-14

    On the Macys size chart for the same style dress with my measurements as of yesterday (2014), I should wear a size 2-4.

    What do you think about this? My first thought was the FB post someone sent about Marilyn Monrow being a size 12, the "average size of the modern American woman...uhhh nooooo! Her average size would be a 2-3 in today's sizing! Holy cow! Do you know how skinny they were back in the day??post-144496-0-45170700-1403404747_thumb.jpg post-144496-0-65724000-1403404759_thumb.jpg


  2. Your calling the store reminds me that I am guilty- when I used to shop if it fit, if it was presentable- buy one in every color so that I did not have to continue to find something, anything.

    Now, I love to shop, but old habits are hard to break! I really have to stay focused that I only need one...! There are so many cute things in smaller sizes, why limit myself and budget, by purchasing repeats of the same thing! Welcome to your new size ! You've earned it!


  3. My goal is 10 thousand steps a day. When I first bought the fit bit, I was clipping it to the center of my bra. I live in the tropics, the moisture from sweat, caused it to not work- I think. Since then, I attach it to the pocket on my pants, shoe etc.. No problems since I changed location. I consistently wore it faithfully everyday, what a motivator! When it broke, I got out of the habit, but since you reminded me, I will have to locate it and get back on track! The best way for me to make sure to get all my steps in, is walking the dogs, or pushing the stroller! Have fun!


  4. With the fit bit, when you set up your stats, it changes the amount of steps, also, even though they say clip to your bra, you don't register as many steps. My husband, taller, heavier, will walk the exact amount of steps with me, and mine will register less steps!! The only thing I can figure out, his stride must be registering longer distance?


  5. Never heard of it, but did see the fitbit band at SAMs club yesterday. I have bought fitbit on Amazon, and the Apple Store. One nice thing about fitbit, when one went bad, I emailed them, they replaced it with a new one for free.

    Regardless of which one you have, it's great motivation! Have fun competing with yourself!
