Somehow my life has been reduced to buying clothes and groceries. Usually when I feel stressed out, the only thing that helps is to go to every shopping center in town and shop for groceries and clothing! Shop till I drop! Let me be honest – I only mention groceries as it somehow makes my life sound more interesting! I have no problems whatsoever in the grocery department! I know the kind of food I like. I know how to prepare it, and, most importantly, when and when not to indulge myself with luxurious and exotic cuisines. Groceries are easy to obtain, and when, like carrots, they happen to sport bright, interesting colors, I pretty much take that as a sign of freshness, and should the carrots also come super sized... well, that’s even more to enjoy!

Of course the opposite, more or less, can be said of my clothing. I have made peace with my body. I stopped wishing for a waif-like body eons ago. However, I still find it hard to find something that I really like even though my demands are modest; something that doesn’t closely resemble a tablecloth found in the maternity section of Wal-Mart would be wonderful. Better yet, something that doesn’t look drab compared to whatever the life and soul of the party is wearing!

I know that a lot of people, even smaller-sized, find it hard to discover that special garment – you know, the one that fits so perfectly and looks so winning that all eyes are turned in admiration! Yes, even a waif-sized person can be uncertain about her wardrobe. Fundamentally, there is no point in whining about this fact – but yes, I wish everything could be as simple and as satisfying as buying a fresh carrot!
