    NSV...I recently started wearing two pairs of jeans that haven't fit in 3+ years! Yesterday the hubby and I were putting away clothes. He holds up a pair of the jeans by the waistband to fold them and asks if those were the jeans I mentioned the other day. I told him yes, he smiled, and said "Impressive"! I got this big cheesy grin on my face!

    So, I am not sure this is an NSV. Decided to dig some pants to wear today out of the dry cleaner bags in my closet and I went through 3 pairs of pants before I found a pair that 'sort of' fit. Rest were ridiculously huge. I am starting to wear skirts EVERY day as nothing fits me anymore. And I haunt Marshalls for pants that fit me but they haven't had anything good. I am sad to lose all these really nice pants. But they were folded and put in the 'to be donated' pile.

    I've officially gone crazy.

    On top of going back to school next week, getting Raelynn ready to go back to school, tax school for work, and everything else, now I'm going to take classes to get my insurance license to advise clients and try to get them to sign up for insurance at work. These next few months are going to be some kind of hectic!

    I also have a feeling my medicine is going to need to be adjusted when I go back next month. It's working, but it's not working enough, if that makes any kind of sense.

    Thanks for all the birthday wishes for Charlie. We've had a manic party afternoon and I've just left, as I have to make the drive back to London tonight. He's had a brilliant day and is busy telling everyone he's 3.

    Awesome NSVs @kellienw335 and @pofoster21!
    Awesome and good luck for your surgeries (even though it' still months away), @xLoveLikeWinterx! Also..I had to laugh that your 3 year old pets your belly...but it would make me sad too. It is cute, though! :)

    I consider that a victory, even if you have a hard time finding things that do fit. Getting rid of the too big ones is start. I cannot wait to pack up some of the stuff in my closet, or get back into some of it.

    @FroggyBug I hope your next session feels a bit more productive. I have had experiences with counseling that were helpful and others that were much less so. It totally depends on the counselor, my expectations, and my commitment to the process. I've never had a couples session, though, and think that would be especially difficult. I'm glad you and SO had a nice time hanging out after the session, though! That's great!

    Thanks for this reply. Yea, it's too bad that I only get 5 free sessions (I'll have to see if my insurance will cover any more than that though). The counselor said he usually does seperate counseling sessions too as well as together which helps because we can talk about our issues to him individually and then talk together later. I think this would probably help.

    That is so cute!!! Nowadays when my daughter meets new people, the first thing she says is 'I am five.'

    firstly, congrats to the NSV ladies!!! keep kickin butt!

    and of course...

    *post date update*

    saturday evening.
    ok, so dude says he'll meet me at a local establishment (i'm going strong in keeping it in walking distance!), and it'll take him about 45 minutes to get there. ok, seeya soon!
    45 minutes comes and goes and dude is no where to be found.
    now he says his gps got him lost, making him almost a full half hour late. i'm thinking he just left his house later than he said and ended up late. six of one, half dozen of another....

    dude says he's finally arrived, i walk over to the establishment, he's no where to be found. swell. send me a msg that he's at a different location and can't i just meet him there? umm...no. i gave him the directions to get from the place he's at to the originally agreed upon locale.

    we go in, sit at the bar,i have a redds while he's sippin vodka crans after his original sweet tea vodka with iced tea order was denied (completely pointless detail, but i found it really amusing at the time).

    so, sitting at the bar, the dude has basically no conversation skills. mind you i'm not the greatest conversationalist, but at least i try. so we're getting no where fast so i suggest we go play pool. and he says naw, i'm not really very good at it. seriously? so i say, well i'm not either, so we'll really get our monies worth with the length of the game. so at least at this point the random awkward silences are disguised.

    dude was nice enough, but literally there was no chemistry what so ever. play two games of pool, have a few drinks, minor chit chat, it's gettin kinda late and he says he should probably get going so he doesn't fall asleep behind the wheel.

    OK! BYE!

    sigh...this blows...

    Totally counts as a NSV. Is tailoring out of the question if you otherwise really like the pants?

    I could use some positive thoughts today. My mom's 10 year old Shih Tzu, Sadie, had to go in to the emergency vet on Saturday morning. They found she had an obstruction in her intestines. Yesterday afternoon they were able to get it out, but there was a lot of bleeding because it has cut up her insides. And of course now there is the risk of infection. My mom would only be allowed to take her home today if Sadie would eat. My mom went at noon, it's now 2:00 and she's still there :disappointed: I'm hoping she will be able to come home today, I know my mom will be devastated if Sadie doesn't make it.

    Oh no! I'm so sorry. I'm sending good thoughts your way and Sadie's way. Your poor mom! I lost my sweet 1 1/2 year old cat earlier this year to an emergency type situation and I'm still mourning him. I hope Sadie gets well and is able to come home soon. Hugs!

    So there is a pretty major wildfire near my house. Luckily we have the river between our house and the fire. A coworker, however, had to evacuate yesterday and may lose his home. I've been thinking of, and praying for, him all day. His name is Dave, if anyone wants to chip in.

    You got it, Dave is on the list. Fire is my fear. My neighbors' house burned in 30 minutes when I was 10 and years later my friend Teresa died in a house fire because the landlord (also a candidate for *kitten* of the year) had painted the windows shut.

    W.o.w. How awful terrifying that must have been for her :cry:

    I think it would have been, but she went back into the house for her son. She managed to throw her son over the beam that had fallen from the ceiling blocking the front door and I've always thought of her dying thinking what she always said. "I'd die for that kid." Timothy goes to school with my son and is doing very well after a couple of years of therapy.

    Thanks for all the birthday wishes for Charlie. We've had a manic party afternoon and I've just left, as I have to make the drive back to London tonight. He's had a brilliant day and is busy telling everyone he's 3.

    That is so cute!!! Nowadays when my daughter meets new people, the first thing she says is 'I am five.'

    My friend Heather's daughter is 4 and introduces herself, "My name is Maggie Lucille and I am a leader."

    Thanks everyone. Sadie wouldn't eat, so my mom is going to go back later today to try again.
