I went to see the Chronic (that's what all the cool kids call it) alone too! <br/><br/>Except, I wasn't crying.

And while I wouldn't wish this sort of hardship on anyone, it's nice to know that there are strong, strong women out there who have gone before me. JLee,

Lee Wed, 28 May 2008 08:15:00 +0000 http://justquirky.wordpress.com/2008/05/28/the-power-suit/#comment-559 Stephanie, I'm here!<br/>OMG - I love this post, because about 2 years ago, during the midst of a devastating relationship, I did the exact same thing! I went and saw the Devil Wears Prada and The breakup in the same afternoon because...the movie theatre was dark and I could cry there and no one would see, nor did I feel bad for doing it at home. After the Devil Wears Prada, I went out and bought two pair of stilleto heels. Just to remind myself that I deserved to look good.<br/><br/>And you'll look damn good in that suit!!!!! And it'll help you feel confident on the business trip, and that will be one more step in this process. Retail therepy is just fine (as long as, you know, you don't run up a ton of debt) <br/><br/>You're right to give yourself the freedom to cry, to say the things you just expressed in your writing and to allow yourself the freedom of grieving. Because this week you grieve. Next week, you kick ass in your awesome suit. And the next week you set another goal to do another "awesome." This must be incredibly hard right now, but that suit is worth every penny if it makes you feel amazing, because you are!<br/><br/>Thanks for saying hi :) I'm looking forward to reading more of your blog! Stephanie, I’m here!
