What Size Shoe I Have Worn During the Last 20 Years

1. 7 1/2B (1984) The year I graduated from high school
2. 7 1/2C (1991) Pregnant with my first child
3. 8 w (1993) Pregnant with my second child
4. 8 1/2W(1996) End of my first year in the factory
5. 9 W (2003-Present) And I am still barely 5 foot 3.

Now, the good thing is that size 9 shoes seem to be slightly more plentiful than 7 1/2. But the cute ones are not always wide. Luckily, working in a factory does not necessitate wearing a lot of cute shoes.

My first blog

Well, I have been reading Fussy for a while. That led me to Joy Unexpected and BusyMom. I enjoy them very much, and while I doubt I have anything very interesting to say, I believe that come November I may be eligible for some free stuff. I'm all about the free stuff.

So, the theme for March is lists. This may be hard in about 2 weeks. But, for now:

Things That I Used to be Able to Eat That Now Give Me Heartburn

1. Chocolate

2. Onions

3. Fritos

4. Doughnuts

5. Chocolate

I realize that chocolate is on there twice, but I am 42 and well ensconced in menopause and that is really an issue with me. And, I don't really avoid these things like I should; I buy those generic
acid-controller pills by the gross with my Flex Spending Account.
