I went jeans shopping the other day. It had to be done. My jeans were falling apart. As much as I dread it, I did it anyway. Fun house mirrors. Dressing room attendants that pop their bubble gum at you when they ask how many items you have and give you that dirty look when you hand them all back to be put away. Finding that perfect pair of the cutest jeans and they don't go past your thighs and have absolutely no hope of actually zipping up if they do go past your thighs. Oh yeah, it's a laugh a minute.

Kinda glad I did it anyway.

I found the most comfortable jeans I've ever worn and I'm sure you all know about them already. Lee Rider's Relaxed stretch jeans. Fabulous fit and not expensive. They had them in traditional blue denim AND in black denim. I may be in love. The best part? I take a size smaller than the jeans I wore into the store.

A size smaller is good no matter how you get it. Yeah, yeah, it's just a number, but it's a number I never thought I'd see on the label in the back of MY jeans again.

So YAY for me!

Yup - YAY for you! Those dumb numbers mean way too much to us - but as the mumbers get smaller, we feel better. I'll take it, too.

So how will you celebrate - non-food, please?

Congrats Lori! Isn't it great to find some jeans that fit. I found some last fall and I practically live in them.

Keep up the good work.

I celebrated by buying that cute little aerobics outfits I'd had my eye on for a while. Pricey, but I felt like I deserved it.

Thanks Kat. I keep wondering if it's doing any good, but it finally seems like it might be...took long enough though...

Thanks Shar. It sure feels like it's been a long time since anything I bought fit the way I wanted it to...

Yay for you, Lori! That is great that you got a smaller size. Thanks for the headsup on some comfy jeans. I will have to look for them...I haven't bought jeans in ages...afraid to actually. It is a challenge finding jeans. I hear that jeans and bathing suits are the two hardest things to buy.


Glad you had such a successful shopping trip all around.
