Move over, people. I'm wearing a pair of jeans that haven't seen my ass since the 90's! And I'm sitting down and breathing all at once.

These were my favorites back then, and they're so old and worn that the cuffs are frayed and they had a hole near my coochie that I patched years back... but I'm wearing them to work today because try to stop me!

Meanwhile, I'm having a hard time while shopping because my brain keeps taking me back to the 26/28 huge tent-shirts that I lived in to cover everything. Last night I bought an 18/20 tank top that fits without looking like a sausage. Watch out, world!

Now keep in mind The Avenue, where I buy most my clothes, is a plus-size store, so their sizes are more generous than if I were to buy an 18/20 at Dillards, but I'm still smaller than I used to be.

Peace and love, babies... peace and love!

Whooo hooo!!!

congrats, flower girl!!

I bet you are just oozing pheremones right about now... lol

Can we use a nicer word than oozing since that's a sore spot with me? How about "overflowering" with hottiness! I'm even wearing my red bandana flip flops. Yes, I work in a lawfirm, but I'm tired of seeing the size 2 file girl wearing belly shirts with flip flops every single day without getting reprimanded. They are just lucky I don't have a belly shirt cuz I might just have to wear it to prove a point! One look at my jiggling belly hanging over my jeans would have them post a dress policy... then I'd sue them with one of their own attorneys!

Awe, I like my job.. I shouldn't talk that way. Sorry!

YOU GO GIRL!!!!

I am so proud of you....I bet you were hot to trot today at work!!!!!

Smelling salts to the rescue!!

P.S. - to do the quote thing:

Highlight the text you want to quote. Hold down the Ctrl key and then the "C" key (that copies the text into your computer's short term memory). Click on the "Quote" button (just above the text box you're typing in and to the right). Click in the text box that clicking on the "Quote" button gave you, hold down the Ctrl key and then the "V" key (that will paste the text you copied into the quote box) and then click "Okay".

Then you will see in your message what are called "HTML tags". The command starts with a [ , has the command, and then ends with a ] .

This is the "on" switch. You will see at the end of the quoted text the "off" switch - the exact same command as the "on" switch, except with a / infront of the command.

I know you're asleep now, but I have lots more to tell you so you can get your web page started...

Good Job Lisa (fitting in the old pants). Keep up the good work. No more fainting either. I don't think we even have an avenue store anywhere in our area. I'll have to look. I love the bargain shopping too. I try never to pay full retail price for anything. Take care and hope the oozing lets up, Teresa

Leatha

Yee Haw Lisa!!!!

I can feel the "HOTTIE" vibes all the way in Wisconsin!!!! You Go Girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GET out of my way!

I AM MOVING!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GO GIRL!!

Damn Girl can I take a look in your closet when I come to Vegas..I need me a pair of those jeans!

WOO HOO DELARLA !!! Way to go girlfriend!

Hey by the way are we going to have a clothing exchange while we are in Vegas? I have alot of clothes I no longer fit into (18-20)

Since we all range in the size and weight department I got no problem donating my old clothes that no longer fit. We may look like we are in Vegas for a week though with the extra luggage we will bring to cart all of these clothes..anyone interested let me know I will pack some of my stuff!

Oh my gosh, I can hardly stand it but they just fixed my work computer so I can play here again! Yipeeeee!

Michelle, I thought of a clothing exchange, too, but that might add too much confusion. How does everyone else feel?

Yeah, I feel great in these old shredded jeans. Would have been nice if at least one person I work with noticed that I'm wearing fitted pants instead of stretchies for a change, but nobody said anything. I'd have to wear a huge red flower in my hair to get anyone's attention here. Wait a minute... I AM wearing a huge red flower in my hair. These people need to wake up!

Thanks guys! It's almost time to do the Friday dance. It's been 3:00 p.m. for about four hours now - this day is going too slow. Time to set me free!

Yipeee, computer works!

Don, thanks for the instructions but I'm not sure if I'm smart enough to follow them.

Welcome back to internet land!!! It's 4:34 here, and I'm getting ready to wrap it up. Was training all day, so severe withdrawals from personal stuff. lol

Lis, don't worry about the codes and stuff. We'll go over everything 10/8 and 10/9... lol

Don't you love how it feels! I'm so happy for you Lisa, strut those jeans!

WHOO HOO Lisa you go girl. I gotta get my jeans back from my daughter. LOL!!!!!!

Drugs are my friend.

Wore those jeans all day and all night. Went out with the girls last night & didn't get home till 1:30 a.m., and guess what woke me up at 6 a.m.? TWEET, SQUAWK, TWEET. All four of those Cockatiels wanting mom to get up. So off to the Avenue I go on minimal sleep.
