Sounds like a well needed day of rest. You'll be full force now.

Hi Carolyn!

Enjoy your date with DH - we don't go out all that

often - Ihave my mom to babysit, but I feel bad

leaving her since my mom has her 3 days a week anyway.

THat is crazy about the jeans - I know what you mean

about sizing, it is absurd!!

And, congrats on the purchase.

I'm going a bit nuts on purchases b/c so much is

available this time of year with New Year

Resolution's. That will change. I have one more

splurge planned for Borders by 3 get 1 free DVD sale

which ends at the end of the month, I also have a 10%

off shopping day and a few other discounts to use -

and then I really need to cut back!

Take care!

That is so neat you and dh are going out, especially all night I guess me and my dh took it for granted when it was just us. Now that we have a little one again, we have no time to ourselves.

I hear you on the jean thing. I will take about 12 pairs of jeans in the dressing room and maybe 1 will fit. Like you, I've tried on sizes from 3 to 12's and what is so bad is maybe a 5 will fit, but so will a 9... so stupid. Not too long ago I tried on a size 4 slacks and it fit. I thought "YES" but then I tried on a 7 of some other pants and they were too tight. I think sticking with one brand is a good way to tell what size you really are, but I go for the mark downs and they are all different brands, I get what's on sale lol
