I have to share - I met with my boss' boss this morning and learned details of my planned promotion for January. This is a BHD (big hairy deal) as I have worked on this for 2 years. So, that was really cool. It was a great day at work. Lots of love and goodness and happiness there today.

Then I went shopping tonight because I have zero pants that fit anymore (I have been wearing dresses all week). I bought two pairs of size 12 jeans, one of them skinny that will look great with the boots I bought in London. OMG. Twelve??!! I have never worn that size, save passing through it for probably a day as a teenager.
Twelve.
Twelve!!! On my butt!!! They're a little tight *today* but they zipped and were not uncomfortable. They're tight in a "my husband will like these" sort of way, not a "she's a ****" sort of way. 14's were definitely too big.
I sent a photo to one of my sleeve sisters and she pointed out that my sweater was much too large in the photo. Not complaining, but I just bought that sweater a month ago...

woo hoo! I'm still basking in this victory and it's 3 hours later.

Happy Friday, y'all!!
Laurie
