Just picked up some new clothes bc we are going to the Caribbean in a few days and I can't wear any of my old summer stuff! I got my shorts/shirts in a 1x! Down from 3 and 4xs! I also got a new swimsuit and went from a 32w to a 22w! My pants have gone from 30/32w to a 22w and could probably wear an 18! I'm flabbergasted! :-)

My rings keep slipping off! And I can wear an 18 inch chain/necklace without it looking like I'm trying to strangle myself.

Isn't it great? Have a wonderful trip! Enjoy!

I'm afraid I'll lose my wedding ring. It keeps wanting to slip off my finger. I may need to have it sized soon. :-)

All my rings need to be resized but I need to wait since I am only 5 months out. My diamond eternity band can't be resized. I'm so sad about that.

Could you use a ring guard?

That's a good idea. I was thinking when I resize my wedding ring I could still wear the eternity ring behind it like I always do. Since the diamonds go all the way around it doesn't matter that it turns.

If not, like someone else suggested I will put it on a chain.

What is a ring guard?

A ring guard fits inside a ring to make it smaller. It can be fitted at a jeweler- kind of welded on. Or there are temporary ring guards available online.

First major snowstorm of the year and it was the heavy, sloppy ice chunk type. Last year the shoveling would have knocked me out for the day, and it would have even made me fee physically ill. This year, I barely broke a sweat. Feel fine. Great, actually. It's nuts how different everything is. How much BETTER... even shoveling heavy, sloppy, ice chunk snow....EVERYTHING IS!

You've got to be the only person I have ever heard who put a positive spin on shoveling heavy, sloppy, ice-chunky wet snow! Lol

I'll have to look into it. Thanks! :-)

Great attitude! I agree; it IS amazing!
