... send in the Marines.

I'm going shopping at the thrift store so I have jeans that fit - at least for this week.

TOOOO FUNNY!!!  The process of finding a good fit in pants is truly a love/hate relationship!  I hate to go through the process... but I LOVE it when I can find something which fit goods.  But... at this point... I'm keep dropping sizes (no, I'm not complaining!).  So.. the challenge of finding replacement pants has been a re-occuring theme.

Good luck with your shopping!  Marines? hmmm? Maybe that would help!

 When the sizes start dropping varies.  If you are really big (like I was) it takes a little while.  As you get down lower, they start dropping a lot more rapidly!

 at first it took forever for me.  Like 50lbs.  Now, every 10-15lbs I'm in a new size.  matter of fact just today I moved down a size in Old Navy which usually means another 5 or so pounds before I move into that size everywhere else.

I just got home!  $20 spent and I got 4 shirts and a pair of sweatpants.  No skirts today :-( but those are easier to make do with.  Just put a pin in them or cover them with a top - easy peasy.  I don't know what I'd do without the thrift store. 

And you can send any extra marines my way I'm pretty sure I've got a job for them that would keep em busy....lol

Right now I'm able to "shop" in my closet and boxes of clothes I packed away and kept meaning to sell but never got around to...glad I didn't now.  We have a Goodwill store opening in Oct and I'm hoping by then I'll be able to find stuff in my size there.
