I’ve seen suits like that, but usually, they don’t start growing until you bring them home. Makes one wonder if they have trick mirrors in the store.

Self-inflicted self-perception. “A little plump”, Cathy. That’s the real you. Live with it.
Morning / afternoon / evening fellow Cathyites. We could get used to life at the shore. A 4-day weekend is so rare. We actually slept in until 10:30. Man, that’s living. :-D

See Mom! I do think about you every day. This was one of my daily quotes in email. After your recent heavy lifting of yard work, this reminds me of you:
In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt. ~Margaret Atwood

It’s no wonder Cathy feels “gargantuan” – she’s bound to eat a lot if she reads these comments and sees all the delicious goodies that Aaron and Dr. Billy post!

Hi Cathyites!!
Glad you’re having a nice 4-day weekend Billy & Aaron — you guys really earn some time off!! Also great about the ways you maintain your weight. My husband and I always share meals and deserts in restaurants, and we still often take some home. They really bring waaaaaay too much food for 1 person.
As for Cathy — perception is everything and some of those b-suits sure pack on the pounds!! I agree with Aaron, Cathy is plump — not obese.
