Once I get something I like, it's hard to let it go! And oh! The clothes that 'almost' fit, are 'almost' comfortable! SO glad I visited today. Made me smile to hear someone going through the same process at home! I'm your newest follower. Have a great week!Tea in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05113281875697713530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201144666881866355.post-4584576551299012842014-03-30T18:31:01.567-07:002014-03-30T18:31:01.567-07:00You crack me up!
