Something Is Missing... YAY!

I was just about to start some housework that I missed out on because of a severe thunderstorm that ripped through town yesterday... I went upstairs to change out of the skirt I was wearing as a muu muu (any skirt I own needs to be versatile like that since it's often more comfy to wear skirts as a muu muu than as skirts, plus this skirt has a really neato tribal motif that reminds me of tropical places)... I wanted to wear shorts (not the underwear shorts, the overwear ones) since it is warm out and I am going to be doing housework which makes me feel even warmer... just one problem... I only own one pair of shorts that fit me right now and that pair needs laundering badly... sadly, my other shorts have all met timely/untimely ends such as zippers skipping their tracks and just plain wearing out... but then I had a wacky idea... my mother in law got me a pair of dark blue denim shorts at a garage sale a while back but they were too small for me and I had had to put them in my box of "things I want to wear someday"... in my wackiness I dug them out, thinking if anything the cat would get a good laugh at how chubby I am... to my shock and surprise, they actually cleared my hips without me sucking anything in! A miracle of miracles!! Now if only I could maybe get them zippered up... I thought, no way... they'll be too tight to even bother... but then I remembered the cat laughing and went for it anyway... and lo! they zippered up... sure, I had to suck my belly in and it was a very tight fit... I could barely sit down in them and still breathe when I tried... but it gave me a newfound knowledge that I am actually losing weigh for sure... proper portion sizes and drinking a lot of water has actually been paying off... it truly boggles the mind!... just think of what would happen if I exercised regularily... wow!... I might be able to fit in some of my clothes from high school... okay, so that's not so much of an incentive but you get the picture... and to top it all off, when I reached this epiphany of weightloss, what should pop onto my mp3 playlist but good ol' Louis Armstrong singing What a Wonderful World... I've got a musical playlist that's responding to how I'm feeling today... how cool is that?!

So for the rest of the day, as I continue to listen to my mp3 playlist very loudly and do housework, I think I might sing and dance a little bit more than usual and I'm sure I'll be a much lighter spirit because of it! ^_^
