about getting from point A to point B in the most interesting ways possible

If you're a large woman in America, your whole life is an opportunity to feel self-conscious, embarrassed, resentful and way too big. You can hide in the corner or on the couch, you can go to therapy, or you can put on your lycra bike shorts and get out there and move.

Big Night! permalink

Have you seen Big Night? It's one of my favorite (food) movies. And I've been completely obsessed with it today. Tonight, we are going out to Mama Mia's, an east-coast style Italian-American restaurant.

The story of Big Night revolves around a little restaurant trying to make authentic Italian food, down the street from the very popular, very inauthentic, Italian restaurant. When the brothers from the authentic place walk by the popular place, they see gorgeous women in gowns, gloves and heels, on the arms of handsome men in suits.

So anyways, I have it stuck in my head that I want to wear a glamourous dress and heels this evening. The little black dress will probably make its appearance, but this morning, I decided to see if any of my vintage dresses fit. Amazingly, they do. Oh my gosh, my vintage dresses fit!

I had a great walk in today -- made it in 45 minutes. And, saw the kittens, who are becoming bolder, and very curious. Not friendly yet, who knows, they might be feral, but very cute.

Surely you must already know - a *vintage* dress non scale victory is worth about FOUR current dress non scale victories, just based on the sizing alone! Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY just a wee bit early, from one Sag to another! - Mia
