Buns of Steel

Yesterday was my 6th month dental checkup and got a clean bill of health. We took the day to hit up Costco and do a little shopping. Over the weekend we got our information packet for our Alaska cruise. We noticed several bits of news that we need to address prior to departure. One of these is that we are to dress in formal attire two of the evenings as we are to dine with the captain. Oh Boy! The dress I wore to Nolan & Anneliese’s wedding does not fit at the moment. It is too big. John made the comment that our trip to Medford yesterday would be as good as any to find something new to wear.

Being the cheapskate that I am, I started by looking at Ross Dress For Less. After much time and many changes of garments we left for the mall where I decided that maybe the best thing to do is to purchase a black formal skirt that I could wear both nights with a different top. So, I am now the proud owner of a black formal skirt. Unfortunately they did not have my size so I had to decide to either by it a little big or a little tight. I opted for the latter and vowed to join the gym!!! I also found a silky dressy shirt that was on sale, more than 75% off the original price. I am now on the lookout for one another dressy shirt, and a black pair of dressy shoes.

Tomorrow is Fitness Club time. I think John and I will be doing it together as we get a huge discount if you join with a partner. By June I hope to be much firmer than I am now and fit into that skirt perfectly!
