Six...

We went to Wal-Mart tonight, to pick up a few things. I have needed some new jeans, but with summer approaching rapidly I had decided not to buy them until fall. Once the sunshine and warm breezes are here to stay...I will only be wearing shorts and skorts (and of course work clothes). But, with the snow this week and a chilly forecast for the next week or two...I knew that I needed at least one more pair. I picked up a pair, in the same size I have been wearing (size 8), tried them on and put them in the cart to buy. Marvin noticed the size and suggested that I get a size smaller...to which I replied..."There's no way I can wear a 6." So I turned my back to him and asked him to check the size tag on the inside back label of the jeans that I was wearing. He stood there...fishing around for the label and finally said, "uh...this probably looks a little odd...me looking down the back of your pants...in the middle of Wal-Mart...and all I can find are the washing instructions!" So...I took the size 6 jeans in to try them on. As I headed for the fitting room...I began to get depressed...knowing that I would never even be able to pull them all the way up. Much to my surprise...they fit! I stood there in shock...then I ripped them off and searched all of the tags...convinced that they could not possibly be a size 6...but they were! Thank you Spark People!!! It made my day!!!

Be Well!!
