florida vacation: the traveler makes ready for the journey

a few things to note as precursors to my story:
1) i have an addiction to capris
2) last year i bought quite a few new pairs to add to my wardrobe

saturday (3 days before the big trip):
3) i went shopping
4) i didn't buy a single pair of capris or shorts (i was so proud) :)

sunday (the very next day):
5) i started to pack
6) i tried on clothing that i would be taking with me (girls do that)

the story:
as i tried on pair after pair of capris and shorts, i realized that packing was not going to be as easy as originally anticipated. why? because over the past year, i've lost enough weight to drop 2 pant sizes. i finally settled on capris that were too big (luckily my hips keep them from falling off) and a pair of shorts that i bought in high school (too small back then, which make them only slightly big on me now).

the problem:
i spent a lot of money last year on clothes, and i'll have to spend more this year :(

silver lining:
great excuse to go shopping. and obviously the whole 2 pant sizes thing.
