"Those Jeans"

We all have a pair of “those” jeans.  My last pair I bought just this past fall.

 Now buying jeans can be a very dangerous task for me, and anyone that happens to be, within a one mile radius.  Just ask my sister Cathy, she cringes when I mention I need a new pair of jeans.  So, we just had one little incident of me, throwing several pairs of jeans out of the dressing room barely missing her head.  She really needs to get over that.

Now back to my story- I was shopping alone and a nice young sales girl was helping me.  She brought me a pair of jeans to try on, that really was a size or two smaller than I would normally wear, but I thought what the heck I will give them a try.  I squeezed into those suckers, while holding my breath, I said, “well, what do you think”?  Then she said the words, that had me sold, “wish my mom would wear, cool jeans like that”!  Oh, how I want to be that cool mom again.  You know the one that still listens to KDWB, can dance the night away without limping the next day, and can/ will text and doesn’t feel the need to capitalize at the beginning of a new sentence.

I just had to have those jeans.  So I wore them a few times and then the holidays hit and why oh why be uncomfortable, when over indulging on anything that contains, powdered sugar?  That's the time of the year for the loose fitting, fluffy attire.

Feb 1^st hits, I have been going to the gym for 2 months now.  And, had a colonoscopy, and that has to be  good for a few pounds?  So out came the jeans for a lunch date this week.  Wow, don’t remember that zipper pulling like that.  Or the fact I couldn’t use my diaphragm, to breathe any longer.  After that lunch date, I whipped those puppies off and threw them in a ball in the corner of my room.   Since that time they have been tucked safely in my dresser and I will try them again in a few weeks after my vacation.  That's the beauty of middle age, I didn't rush out to buy the liquid protein diet or look online to see where I might purchase a tape worm.  Nope, I now know better my weight ebbs and flows and some day again those jeans just might fit.  

Or here is another option :)
