Shrewdness's Journal, 11 December 2021

Oh my goodness, late last night Al told me about a work dinner we are going to Sunday! 😮
How long has he been married to me?!!! I am going to work today so that gives me one day to be really good dieting and one half day to find something to wear, these are new people I have never met them. Ahhh!!!!😣
I would make him go to a marriage counselor, but it would go like…so, what brings you here today? I ‘d answer, my hubby takes everything literally and never tells me stuff I need to know.
I just can’t stand it!!
Hubby would answer the counselor: My truck.🙃

My clothes are too big now, my cute fitting clothes of long ago are given away, I can’t even by off the Internet and get it delivered tomorrow and I don’t want to fight the crowds and viruses out there.🥲
May have to actually break out the sewing machine and maybe use safety pins 🧷 to fix something I have.😳
Anyway, it’s cold out, I’ll probably just have a coat on. Dang, I wish I had a cute coat, I may have, will have to dig through the closet when I get home. 👍
I do have a new pair of old lady’s shoes I haven’t worn yet, will wear them today to break them in. Too bad, they were proud shoes, for they never known da feet!😊
They are goody two shoes!😁
Lastly, my hair is showing a lot of gray, will have to dye and set my hair tonight, jeepers creepers!!!
Although, I really don’t have gray hair, I just have wisdom highlights.🙂
I must say, I'm enjoying the aging process and the gray hair and the wrinkles. NOT!😖
A special thanks to my FS family for all the encouragement!!!♥️
I am over 50 lbs lighter and not too embarrassed to meet new people!🙂
I wear a M instead of an XL, and need to loose those extra pounds to get back to my green line. Again, I love the wonderful people on this app, I truly found a treasure trove of people!❤️
Have a Spectacular Saturday!🌺⛄️🎄

I'm sure you'll come up with something good and I hope you don't end up stressing about it too much, Shrew! Hope you enjoy it! And that's a reason to do some shopping for yourself in the near future. ❤️

I do a lot of my best of everything on the fly last minute. I'm betting you're similar. 50# lighter, you're going to look fabulous no matter what. just remember Sharon Stone in her black turtleneck from the Gap. wear it like haute couture and no one will be any the wiser. you'll be stunning.

You will look smashing in whatever you wear, I'm sure! 💗 enjoy your dinner, Shrewdness!

Walk in with an air of self confidence and I guarantee no one will notice— you don’t need to Impress people you don’t even know. Just be nice, be a good listener, compliment someone who looks uncomfortable and you will do perfect

You'll do fine. I attended an awards dinner with Denise the other night and it was a nice reminder of how special she is when seen through all many of my industry colleagues who only get to hear about her and not meet her. I'm sure that will be the same result for you. Enjoy your evening!

And how long has he known about this party? You'll pull it off!

Great job on going from a size 'XL' to a size 'M'! We have that in common. 😊 Do you have stores near you that do curbside pick up? You could order and pay online then they will run it out to you. Only problem is if you need to return anything you most likely need to go inside. I typically fit into most size 'M' but rarely something will fit like a small or large. Shoes on the otherhand are more difficult but I believe some apps like Zappos or Amazon have next day delivery and free returns. I'm not sure now with so many more ordering online but you might research that.

Hello. My tantrum yesterday had nothing to do with you. It was about someone else. Sorry if I caused any distress.

Also, congratulations on your achievement.

Dear Shrewd, it isn't what you wear, it's how you wear it. Your dress, your hair, your shoes, put yourself together and walk with pride and confidence. Smile, be kind and attentive, and everyone will see how fabulous you are. 💖

Ooh- I would love to fight the crowds for something new to wear after weight loss. So much better than fighting the crowds because nothing fits. Regardless- You will look so great! Such a better feeling wanting to be seen than wanting to hide! Have fun and keep us posted. ;)

Nikina I am excited now about going, but since that’s my focus, I am getting behind in Christmas stuff I needed to do this weekend.🙃⛄️🎄

Plus Nikina, I don’t care what you call me, call me anything you want, just don’t call me late to dinner.😆😋

You are like me Katsolo, as I am always doing stuff last minute, don’t mean to, it just happens all the time, and I get it done.👍💪 I have been blessed that usually I do pull it off. At one of Al’s work dinners a coworker was with his wife and ran into a door looking at me.😆 Was worth the effort of getting ready and gave me confidence, yet he may have been thinking what a clown, (but I don’t think so😁).

Thank you Gib, I have been trying not to eat much, so I am hoping I don’t down my dinner, have to be ladylike!😋😄

Kenna you were very sweet, thank you! I will remember your words and at this old age you would think I had self confidence, yet never really do. I will listen and I am always nice, but will go out of my way to compliment people needing it, for I am usually pretty quiet. Thanks again and I hope all is going well for your sister!🌺
