In order to lighten my spirit and yours I'm going to gripe about something that has caused me distress over the years. Just when I have found a jean that I'm happy with, they either discontinue it or alter it's cut. I have more of a, uh, hourglass shape, and finding jeans not made for fat teenagers is a difficult thing at this point in time.
This quest has taken me most everywhere. My latest ventures were trying out Old Navy and Eddie Bauer AGAIN!!! Old Navy tells me "well your a 4 but a six would work too". And the saleslady at Eddie Bauer placed me in a 4 and said "oh dear, those are too big, you'll need a 2 and unfortunately we don't carry 2's at this store". I AM NOT A FRICKIN' SIZE 2, WHAT IS UP WITH THAT? A size 2 was what I was in my young anorexic days as a teenager; I'm 36 and a mother of three, there is no way I'm a size 2.
MY SUGGESTION: Screw Congress investigating MLB for steroid abuse; I want to see a special session of Congress called to standardize jeans sizes. GEEEEEZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!
Sorry, I just wanted to vent about something utterly meaningless.
