So I'm officially on summer vacation. My last class was supposed to be tomorrow night but our Prof had a death in the family so class was canceled. In order to celebrate 4 months of freedom, I took myself shopping. Since I've been eating healthier, I've been losing weight (yay) so I need new summer clothes. Plus with our upcoming trip to Florida, I need to replace some things I've grown out of.
I bought two pairs of capri/cropped pants at the Ann Taylor Loft end of season sale last year and they are getting VERY big on me. I love them though so I'm trying to decide if I should keep them as "fat pants," or just chuck 'em. I think I'll keep them through the summer and then decide. If we ever get a summer that is - it's currently 65 and overcast - bleh! I'm on vacation! I need vacation weather!
So it's just me and the dogs - hanging out. Watching tv. Reading. That's going to pretty much sum up my summer. Relaxation. I dig it.

congrats on the freedom AND the NEED for new clothes!
Congrats, lady! And yes, we need to shoe shop. :)
That's funny, I did the same thing on Monday (post Memorial Day shopping spree). I took a bunch of clothes that had been hanging in my closet, folded them, and then ceremoniously shoved them at the bottom of the drawer. I'll keep them through this fall, since most are fall clothes -- if I can't fit into them by the end of the year, they're going to Goodwill.
Woot! BTW, on Monday Banana Republic was having a huge sale -- 30% off pants, shorts, and skirts. Plus sales on shoes, accessories, and handbags. I made out like a bandit. Highly recommended!
WOHOOOO! Ok, the goal is to not need the fat pants any longer. Make sure you do one of the following before the summer is over: Put them on Ebay, take them to a consignment shop and turn them in for stuff your size/store credit or donate them. Or add them as fuel on a too big clothing bon fire while you dance gleefully in your slimmer capris singing Lionel Ritchie songs....
Enjoy your time off. We are PROUD of your weight loss sister!
Kelli - good to see you! Thanks for the nice thoughts :)
Avitania - I can't wait till I have more fat clothes than skinny clothes. It was actually fun shopping today for a change. And I love my new skirt and I know you'll find the perfect shoes for me! Oooh Banana Republic = love. I know what I'm doing on Monday!
Colleen- You crack me up :) I may have to do the eBay thing at the end of the summer for lots of clothes *fingers crossed!*
I REFUSE to keep "fat pants" and think all fatty clothes should be donated and/or burned like our momma's bras in a raging bonfire of elastic waists and skirted swimsuits!
Congrats on all your weight loss! Now that school is out we should get together for some coffee or a trip to the bookstore!
What's funny is how I read the second sentence of this post. I quickly read it... well... wrong...
I read it as there was a death and class was canceled and you're celebrating. Whoops :) It came off... well.. not as intended.
You're looking great! Dump the pants... don't need them anymore.
