the amazing disappearing woman

did you know that davy rothbart is going to be at manbites dog theater on monday? i just bought a ticket.

also, i should note that i will be headed for toronto tomorrow. i'll be visiting my step-sisters (who i rarely see, but really like) and their families.

i plan on taking my laptop and my digital camera, but i also plan on not thinking about either of those things too much while i'm there. so you may get a post or two while i'm gone, and you may not.

in preparation for the trip, i checked the weather forecast and realized i'd need some long-sleeved shirts and long-legged pants. i went through my closet to make sure that the stuff i have still fits, but soon realized that i was going to have to go shopping. my shirt situation, in particular, was really bad... i think my upper half is where i've lost most of my weight so far. all of my blouses just hang on me like potato sacks.

so after work yesterday i did a mad, budget shopping spree at kohls, ross and target and found some cheap things that will tide me over for a few months. i didn't purchase a single item from the plus-size racks... all the clothes i bought only had one "X", and none of the sizes started with a "2".
