Mixed Feelings

We are getting ready to go to Phoenix tomorrow. A pre-winter vacation of sorts. Unfortunately (or fortunately), the weather is so nice here in Edmonton right now. It is hard to leave, as we know we likely will be coming back to cooler temps. Winter WILL come whether we want it to or not. Actually I don't mind the snow at all or the cool temperatures. It is the 'transition' time that is a bother! Moving from fall jacket to winter jacket, open toes to boots, starting the car to warm it up before leaving work. Oh well. Them's the breaks for living in the Northern Hemisphere.

So, as I have indulged in the Halloween candy and been somewhat 'relaxed' after the summer, I am now 'paying for it' big time with 'what fits me'? Fortunately two pairs of capris and a few tops will be my wardrobe for Phoenix. I am hoping we are planning on relaxing and not 'doing the town in our finest' as I won't have any 'finest' to be wearing! As it is, I am trying to talk myself into going to the pool. Maybe I should go and just do 'lengths' for the first few days! Maybe then I will feel like 'shopping' in all the fine shops. It doesn't help when your friend is a 'slim trim' minnie. Oh well, I can always drape a towel over me!!
