Awesome Mother's Day weekend!

Sunday, May 12, 2013

Has the best dh and kids. Today & yesterday they let me sleep in, decorated the house, gave nice gifts, didn't have to cook, ran with dh and let me play on the computer(ok maybe they gave me a little gruff for that, so addicted.)

Sound like a wonderful Mother's Day for you and your family. I had a lovely day as well, my daughter and her friend who considers me as her mom came to visit for the weekend and we had a wonderful time. Report Inappropriate Comment

Grandmotherly advice

Monday, April 22, 2013

I love this bit of grandmother wisdom for curtailing impulse clothes purchases I read today: My grandmother always says you should wear something once for every dollar you spend on it. I thought it was silly the first time I heard it, but now I find myself holding up items and thinking "Will I really wear this 25 times?" It definitely helps my impulse buys! G-E-N-I-U-S! What tactics do you use to avoid purchase regrets?

I absolutely have a cost/wear ratio to justify expenses of clothing. Report Inappropriate Comment

I have regretted very few clothing purchases in the 4 years since I lost the weight. I spent lots and lots of time trying on clothes and looking in the mirror and learning my new body and developing my new style. It seemed somewhat narcissistic, but overall I think that spending that time helped set me up to maintain. At first I tried to just reward myself and spend the amount I would have spent at Weight Watchers per week, but later I rewarded myself even more. I'd try on at least 20 things for each item I purchased. I still spend plenty of time when I select clothing. I think that helps me make better decisions. Report Inappropriate Comment

Praying they catch the bomber

hearts go out to anyone affected by the tragic event at the Boston marathon this week. There is evil everywhere, yet the aftermath of this event has shown that good people vastly outnumber those that wish to do harm. Kindness will always prevail.
