Went to Kohl's and got a summer pocketbook, low socks for my sneakers, and--glory be--two pedal pushers (or do they call them "capris"?) in a SIZE 16 PETITE! Size 16 may sound gargantuan to some of my elfin readers, but I was thrilled. I've had to wear woman's sizes for years and, while I still do for most things, this was an outlook-lifter. True, they both have elastic waists, but still...
Bought a new hose, nozzle, and "lopper" for outside, but haven't hooked them up yet because we had a big thunderstorm. Made barbecued ribs in the crockpot; Pat liked them and I had a small amount--very good.
Alison called and we made plans to meet at the race in Wall Township. If it rains and it's called off, she'll let me know by 4:30.
Mike just sent an e-mail with the subject line, "Things To Be Proud Of." It's a link to a travel site describing "Mount Molloy" in Queensland, Australia. Must be an impressive place because the writer mentions that it "has obviously seen better days, as the local sight-seeing options are an old steam engine and the cemetery."
Later: Holy smokes and happy day! I lost another 2.2 pounds, for a total of 23.4 and a weight of 176.2. Gratifying.
