my new suit

yesterday, in the midst of heat in the high 90s, i purchased a new suit. because, i thought it was time, and it was necessary -- for reasons i can't reveal here yet, but hopefully will tell you about later.

there comes a time in every woman's life when she needs just a classic suit. for me, that came in college, right before i had to go on interviews for a real job. not surprisingly, three years later, that suit no longer fits. surprisingly, its too big.

due to recent stressful events in my life, there was a period of a few weeks where i had great difficulty eating. as a result, i've dropped at least five pounds. this means that yesterday i was able to walk into a store and pick up a pair of size 2 pants that fit beautifully and need no altering. this has never happened to me ever in my whole life.

sadly, since i have recently begun eating at my normal rate, i fear that it won't be long before i'm back to my old size. which, come to think of it, really wasn't all that big to begin with. so i'm not sure what i'm complaining about. i guess i just wanted to gloat about my new suit.
