I haven't participated in Small Successes (because . . . I don't know, but I tend to forget I'm doing this group thing and then the linky stuff . . . you know.).
But, I'd like to share this one:
I drove to Kapolei, got lost (went the wrong direction as I read the given directions incorrectly), righted ourselves after a chat with a petrol clerk (thank you, you kind gentleman), got to the appointment a bit late (thanks for still seeing her), and successfully got back to Pearl Harbor w/out much ado. Hurrah!
Teenie just needs to brush and floss better . . . she only had mild inflammation of the gum back there in her gob. So, all is well.
Now, to cut checks for school pictures (Teenie) and bus passes (Teenie, Crickles). Next week the boys will have their dental cleanings/screening (first visit) and then the following week, Teenie will return and have her initial cleaning/screening.
I was just telling Dawn on the phone that you know you're really settling into a place when you finally find a dentist.
Now, if I can get my husband to stop sabotaging my efforts to avoid unnecessary shopping . . . he keeps telling me I can get a nice outfit for the Khaki Ball (tomorrow night) if I want to and to justify it, I can still use the outfit for Mass . . . . Um'kay. I'm feeling really tubby-freakin'-chubby at the mo' and when I tried on about ten dresses the other day (in this search for a new outfit) I found nothing. Everything I put on had something wrong with it . . . until I deduced, correctly, that it is I that have something wrong with it: I'm chunky. And, I patently refuse to wear (or buy at this point as well) Spanx or any other "forming" (fat tucking) garments to make anything lie smoothly across my rolley pollies. Okay? I know I would find something flattering and nice (maybe in a good price, maybe not) at Nordstrom. No question, I probably would - the store is that good and I can spot/find/buy expensive clothing a mile away. It is a hazard to let me loose in Nordstrom.
Okay, I have more self control than I let on, but you know I'm weak for labels. It's the truth. I looked at Target and the NeX so far . . . trying to find the middle ground. I'm not a label snot, I swear it.
So, I'm having the inner dialogue with myself: do I try again or not? Do I just drive to Nordstrom at the mall downtown or not? If I came back with nothing I'd feel so defeated. I almost said "deflated" but if I could deflate I wouldn't have this outfit trouble to begin with.

Sounds to me as if you had a pretty successful day! Good for you! Cathy
Remember there are some loose fitting and very pretty dresses out there that don't look loose fitting, just sort of draped (think that's a made-up word, but you get the idea). Until I get rid of my rockin' rolls, that is what I use...it's kind of like a disguise and if you find a dress you really like and it clings too much just wear tons of make-up to the point where no one will recognize you. No need to thank me, just call me helpful Hannah.
blessings and hugs,
