I had a great weekend away from work. It was just me and the family. I love it when my husband makes pancakes on Saturday morning. Sometimes in the summer he buys these really over sized blueberries and adds them to the batter. Yummie! So I woke up, pulled on my favorite lounging caftan, and helped him out heating up some butter.

After our late breakfast, I went around the house and collected our laundry. I don't mind it so much. It's kind of fun to know in a hour you have fresh clean clothes. As I was separating the whites from the darks, I found a blouse that had fallen between our washer and dryer. I had forgotten all about the short top. It was a cotton crop top that I purchased from an online store for plus size women. Whew! It was only misplaced, not lost. I threw it into the dark clothing and washed it.

Later that day we decided to take a trip into town to pick up picture hangers for some artwork my son made last year, and other stuff at the hardware store that the hubby wanted. I seem to space out at those places so I told the boys I would meet them at the car. I popped into the cutest boutique shop in town with all these whimsical birthday cards and pillows. I actually found an $18 beaded necklace that fit around my neck and matched that Lost & Found cotton crop top. Wow! What luck. And then as I was browsing, the boys called me on my cell phone and said they had been waiting at the car. They wanted me back so they could get back to the hockey game. Well, ok. I found a great birthday card for my girlfriend Sarah about having your cake and eating it too. She is a little plus size too. I love her! She always tells me "honey there is more to love!".

When I got home I went to the laundry room. That missing crop top was clean and fresh again. I took it upstairs and put it on with my new necklace. I looked fantastic! I really know how to match my look with my taste. The hockey game continued and then I made dinner. I kept thinking there was a winner inside of me.
