Tomorrow's another day and I don't plan on spending it on the couch because of over doing it today. It is so easy for me to know my limits when it comes to cleaning the house! hahaha Take care.

Hugs,
Pat

Smile Check out the clothes on Ebay!

Hello all!

You would be AMAZED @ how many cute outfits Ebay sells - just go to women's clothing - mixed items and lots - they sell everything - complete really cute outfits with jewelry and everything!

The funny thing is now I get more compliments than ever b/4 - and they are really, really reasonable!

Check it out when you get some time!

ERin

Thanks Erin, I'll have to check that out. Do you have to have some special account to pay for things or can you use a credit card?

Hi gals!

Online shopping is the bomb. I use Newport news alot.
I have noticed jeans being a BIG drag on my legs before. My cousin gave me some linen slacks which I just started wearing and I've decided that Linen is my fabric of choice - even if I do have to iron it! It's lightweight and comfortable whether it's hot out or cool.

Shoes - hmmm - I wear good old leather moccasins whenever I can, but I still can pull heals off usually for work. I have crocs too, but they do make your feet sweat - unless you wear bootie socks - quite the fashion statement - and I have gone public with that combo when my feet hurt too bad for anything else.

As for the T-scar? It just enhances or creates the illusion of cleavage! Why would you want to hide that?

I love silk for the same reason I like linen, temp seems to be just right no matter what, they flow so if you find a loose style they're very non-restricting.

Now, handbags.........
I'm not kidding - I'm having trouble with that - I don't really carry as much as most women and sometimes it's still just too much. Fanny packs are fine for shopping, but I can't normally use it at work. My grip isn't that great to use just a little handbag without a strap, so what do you guys do?

This is fun - like shopping without spending any money!

Hey Becky,

I always carried a pocketbook (I'm dating myself) that was so packed with stuff I could have survived a month on a deserted island! Now I carry a very small light weight canvas bag with a narrow shoulder strap. The only things I put it in, is my licence, credit card, money, meds, tissues, etc. Plus, I keep the pocketbook locked in the trunk...hey, you never know! haha

Smile Hi Pat!

Hi Pat! You do need to have a PayPal acct - not hard to set up @ all and well worth it!

You would be amazed at how many cute things I've gotten and the deals!

Big hugs!
Erin

Smile Hi Becky!

Hey hon! How are you? You are just the cutest little mama hen ever! I love that about you!

I still carry my HUGE purse around cuz' I need my meds and all my little odds and ends - my drs call it my "luggage" - but I guess I need to lighten up for the sake of my back!

I love the fact that my t scar gives me the illusion of cleavage! Love it! Well, now I HAVE cleavage but when the weight goes, so will the cleavage!

Can't wait to hear from you!
Erin
