I fit in size 26 Land's End jeans today! Non-stretch, real denim jeans!

Not some wierd Lane Bryant brand or Avenue jeans. These came from Land's End -- a store where normal size people shop.

Now I'm gonna try on the rest of the stack of 26s that I've been hoarding for four years.

(I've never been brand conscious -- I'm just excited to be wearing something on my rear that didn't come from a Fat Lady only store.)

We're having internet problems -- the satellite internet is stuck on stupid so I don't know if I'll be able to do much here this weekend. (If you're an internet junkie, don't ever move someplace where you can't get DSL!)

Everybody have a great weekend!

Patti, I bet you were grinning from ear to ear when you zipped those up! I am so excited for you, keep up the good work!  I can't wait for the day I can "break up" with good old Lane Bryant and Avenue.

Yayyyyy for you.        What a great feeling.  I am excited just to be in Lane Bryant size 26.  Can't wait to go to a "real" store.

 That is awesome!  Getting close to that reality myself...not quite there but can see it so I know it will happen.  Thanks for the inspiration!  

I can not wait to signoff from Lane Bryant and the Avenue for good!

Mine were even cheaper: my wonderful sis gave me mine. She's petite and these were way too long for her.
