those damn jeans

Mar 28, 2011

i have a pair of jeans. i bought them about 5 3/4 years ago. they still have the tag on them. i fell in love with them when i saw them. the biggest size they had was 12. i had just had my first child and was a size 22. before i got pregnant i had managed to get from a 20 down to a 14/16. i bought them anyway. i planned to fit into them. since then i have been a 22, a 20, a 24, pregnant twice, and currently a 26ish. i've moved 3 times since i bought them. i have packed and unpacked and repacked and unpacked... and i still have those jeans. they still have the tags on them. and i would still love to fit into them. but to be honest, even if they do never fit... i'd be just as happy to be a size 16 again. and just as happy to be able to walk into any store and know that they have something that will fit me.
