Weekend afternoons are reserved for "quiet time". Normally, mom takes a nap, the boys either nap or stay in their playroom, and dad watches movies or shows that only he likes.
Today, I decided not to take a nap. I had a cup of coffee with lunch, so that was a big part of it. I left James to watch one of his movies and I went upstairs to the bedroom to do whatever.... I decided to clean a little and dust. And I also wanted to try on some of my old dresses from 10 years ago. Yeah, I know what you're thinking - "Why on earth would she have kept dresses from so long ago?!?!" Well, normally they would have been given away, especially since for most of those 10 years, I couldn't fit into them. But these dresses have sentimental value. I bought 2 white dresses right before my wedding so that I would have a white dress to wear as I left the reception to head for the airport. I bought 2 because I wasn't sure which one I liked best, and because I wanted both for the formal nights on the cruise. Both are knee length and white. One is strapless (but can add straps) with a long slit in the back. The other is sleeveless, a high neckline in the front and a deep V in the back, and had two high slits in both the front and the back. I really, really like them both.
I wasn't expecting much when I wanted to try them on, but both fit! They didn't fit exactly like they did 10 years ago, before I had babies and loose skin from weight loss. They zipped up easily - and would have looked so much better had I not been wearing black panties. Oh well. At least I know that if for some reason I need a dress, I have 2 in my closet ready for that. Just give me some spanx & a cute sweater/jacket, and I will be good to go!
