Skinny jeans!?

A quick update before the Christmas festivities continue, the box has been opened and it contained a sparkly shirt and a pair of skinny jeans. To be fair, this outfit would look amazing on Heidi Klum. As for moi, I look like a sparkly sausage. Very, very cute that he tried and actually quite flattering that he thinks I'd look good in such an ensemble. Thankfully, Nordstrom's fabulous return policy will allow me to exchange the items at my leisure, so I can buy the perfect pair of jeans after my post-holiday diet is complete.

Note to self: Do NOT let the pushy sales person talk you into trying on skinny jeans. It really doesn't do much for the self-esteem. Yes, they are tres chic, but when you're 5'3 and weigh over (ok, fine, full disclosure, WELL over) 100 pounds, it just isn't a good idea. Trust me.

Hope Santa was good to everyone! My kids are sick and completely delirious from lack of sleep and over-stimulation, but it's really not Christmas unless someone's on Ammoxacillin and you're perpetually threatening that Santa does indeed take toys back from little boys and girls who don't listen, right? Merry Christmas!

Did you end up trying the outfit on for Ken? Priceless. Wish I could have been there. What did you buy him? How are the kids feeling?

Oh, I tried it on and it was NOT pretty. Totally returned it yesterday, but got some stuff at the banana outlet instead. I literally got 2 pairs of jeans, 2 sweaters, and 2 dresses for HALF the price of what he spent on the shirt and jeans. Yowsa.

Jack is back to 100%, Mia is still a fussy nightmare. Hopefully the drugs kick in soon.

Glad I harassed you into commenting. I'm such a dork.

I need a new pair of skinny jeans as mine broke this morning. Hmm...maybe that should tell me something.

Don't call this a comeback

So it’s been a minute. Or 10. Or truthfully more like 2,102,400. At least we think that’s how many minutes there are in 3 years, but let...
