Perfect fit!

Summer is officially over for those of us in the teaching profession. Tomorrow morning is the "meet and greet" breakfast... before you know it we will hit the ground running. Every year...this time of year... it just feels like you need a few new things. You need a "first day of school" outfit....and some new school supplies....just want to start off shiny! SO...in response to that urge and in response to all the mountains of sale ads....I went in search for the perfect pants! And...guess what???? I found them! Yes, I did! And you will never believe what they are called...."perfect fit"....because they do. It is an unbelievable feat of human engineering....and I am eternally grateful. AND.....guess what else? I am a perfect fit.....petite size one! I can see that look of disbelief on your face as you read this.....but it is true. I am floating!

It seems that the store that I have avoided up until now....is the most amazing store ever! Lane Bryant.....has mastered the art of marketing.....and I love and appreciate them for the effort! They have created Granimals for chubby folk! First you find the colored dot that matches your body type. I am a blue dot.....after trying on yellow and then red dots....it was determined that I was a blue dot.....which means that my rear end is wide....and my waist is small.....well...not exactly small....but considerably smaller that my butt. I have always suffered the misery of having a large gap in the waist of my pants due to the need to have them fit in the bottom...you could drop medium sized objects into my pants in the back.......assuming I would allow anyone to having access. But now that I am a blue dot......no more gap! Then on to the joy of finding my size......starting with a 3....I worked my way down to a one! It was a "Hallelujah" moment. The petite part just means I am not that tall....but I like the sound of it...don't you?

Now...I ask you....who would want to lose weight and go back to the regular stores where one would have to go back to being extra large...or a sixteen.....when you can be a one petite? Not me.....I will continue to shop in the magical place where I am the tiniest woman in the store. It just feels too dang good! :) I think I might even celebrate with chocolate cobbler!
