the prom dress sent from God

SO today the 5 of us women ventured out into the world. The only other time we have even put on make up was to go to mass on Easter. Maybe that will help put into perspective the kind of secluded vacation this is. Anyway, we all got dressed up to go to lunch and do some shopping. The PERFECT oppurtunity to check off number 1 on my list. And boy did I ever! I found 3 great pairs of yoga pants a track jacket and a bunch of tank tops. Most importantly, (drum roll please) I found my prom dress...There it was, just hanging along side plenty of other black and white dresses. There was nothing about it that was particularly special. It had no rays of shining light coming forth from it while angels sang. But I put it on and it fit like a dream. a strapless, knee length bubble dress with a funky little pattern. Great silver shoes and a silver wrap. MY GOD! I felt like a rockstar. I just knew that there was someone in heaven looking at God and saying "OK. It's a girl thing so I don't expect you to understand but this girl NEEDS you to put things in front of her that will fit just right." and he did. It was a lovely day and I really got a nice little confidence boost. But after spending 5 days on your ass, a good run/condition session plus an entire afternoon of shopping (we're not talking browsing window shopping...I mean cut throat-super model speed try on-all out- every man, woman child for themselves- serious shopping) I'm a little worn out. So it looks like take out and a good book for me tonight. But it's been a ful day and I have much to be thankful for
