Pardon me while I have a little (happy) freak-out

[paragraphs]

You know, enough time has passed that I no longer really remember exactly what it felt like to be big. While shuffling around trying to find my son's bathing suit for camp (which I can't, sigh), I ran across my old favorite Old Navy winter shirt I used to wear every single week, I loved it so much.

The second I pulled it out of the drawer--was on the phone with poor patient Nick, I started to freak out. OMG!!!!! I had to take a picture. This is pretty goofy and lol ignore the messy room--the stuff on top of my computer cabinet is a dead manuscript I won't ever work on again (a fantasy) and a stack of too-big clothes. Oh yes, and Maddox being dorky and trying to figure out what I am doing. And the shorts, they are old fat ones too, house-wearing only. My legs are half the size they used to be, I think!

This really made my day! And oh, 25 more days after today before I set foot in Germany again, WHEE! I am READY!





Of course, not nearly as hot as Scott Gill, but maybe further proof (as is he, and JB, whoa) that being in your forties does not mean you are ready to be DEAD AND BURIED! HA!

Hot damn! :D I love the outstretched arm; very model-y!

This reminds me of a pic I have of myself in my fleece hoodie that, when I got it, I couldn't zip the damn thing up, but after I lost all that weight, I held my niece in my arms and zipped it up over the both of us. Weight loss is awesome!

And yay, just 25 more days!!!!!!

lol was trying to just see how big it was compared to me underneath. Hard to tell but yeah, I told Nick I could probably get Maddox in there with me too!

SQUEE!
