Oh Misery, thy name is Strep.

You guessed it. Strep has found its way to our home and into my body. I finally caved yesterday and decided that I might need to see a dr.

I knew something was not right by my response to the lady at Eddie Bauer when she asked me if I wanted her to go get the Long length pants on 70% clearance that she had in the back. My response was not elated jubilation (which is the usual response anytime that I can find pants long enough for my 6'2" body), but instead, I told her that I did not feel well and did not feel like trying on clothes today.

I don't know why I felt like I had to give her a reason, but I did. She, however, was not deterred and brought them to me anyway. Being me, I felt like I had to try them on for size even though I was feverish and felt like I had a large, scratchy rock in my throat. Before heading into the dressing room, I rallied and grabbed a few other items since I was going to make the most of it. She was right. The pants were great, but I decided that I did not need corduroy pants in Houston in March no matter how little they cost. (I hope to be a smaller size by winter anyway!)

I managed to find a cute outfit. I tried to find a link to it on the Eddie Bauer site since some of you told me that you enjoyed the scarf link in a previous post, but I came up linkless. You are stuck with my description: a green, sleeveless shirt that has a criss cross front, a band below the bust and then looser around the hips to bring the emphasis to the top and camouflage the "problem areas" and a denim skirt that falls perfectly at my knees. All that time I spent watching "What Not to Wear" is paying off, baby. Or at least, I think it is. I sure wish I had the $5000, Stacy and Clinton to help me out though.

Right now, I would just settle for more antibiotics!
