Sunday morning I began searching for the outfit to wear to the family reunion. It’s a casual event, so I don’t need to dress up, but my usual dress mode of jeans and t-shirts must be set aside for something a little more glamorous.
I started out trying on pants for Hubby to view. I came out of our bedroom, pirouetted and asked, “Do these make me look fat?”
Nothing like putting poor Hubby in the hot seat with that question. He handled it well.
“Ah, I can see your panty-line”.
Okay, so maybe those were a little tight. You know I’ve been on my diet two whole weeks and you would think that I could have at least dropped a clothing size by now! In reality I’ve lost 6 pounds and that has only given me more room in my socks!
I tried on several more pairs of pants before we decided on two that didn’t look horrible, and I’ll bring along my jeans skirt in case I totally freak out and decide that I really do look “that fat”!
Meanwhile, I continue reading “Harry Potter”. I read a chapter or two and then stop and walk the puppies or change the laundry or cook. My cousin Janet has already finished reading it!
Monday morning is puppy health certificate time and then we’re on to packing. I’ll be writing along the way as our motel has high speed Internet access. After all, can’t be cut off from you all. 
Very smart husband you have there. What guy doesn’t dread that question? LOL!
Maribeth, have a great time in Nova Scotia and say hi to it for me. I haven’t been in about 4 years and I feel it pulling me back. My mom’s family is from the Eastern Shore (45 minutes or so from Halifax), Halifax, and a little town called Lyndon, not far from Amherst and not too far from the bridge to PEI.
Why do we ask our husbands things like, “does this make me look fat?”. My Jack always says “you’re just fine the way you are….” which is very sweet, but of course just not true (in my eyes). It’s a loaded question!! Have a great time.
What no slide show of ME? LOL Anyway in the that picture I am looking with Abby at some baby pictures of me, so it is even more fitting that you used that picture of me in celebration of my Birhtday. Thanks! And Happy Birthday to me!
I hope you have a great time!
Happy Birthday to your sister!
Nobody so far has written about the end of the last Harry Potter book, even when they had it finished. So I still don’t know if he dies or if he becomes grandpa !
Have a nice trip !
Hi Mom,
Hope you have a great time in Canada!
Aunt Mel, hope you have a wonderful birthday today! 🙂
Love,
Mandy
I don’t care how skinny somebody is, the dreaded panty line always adds 10 extra pounds. 🙂
Yay for you on losing 6 pounds! You should really be proud. That’s a lot of weight in just 2 weeks.
