I just recently bought a new set of clothes for work and I was frustrated by the range of sizes I was buying. Not that buying “large” really upsets me, but the fact that when I’d by a size “8″ pants at one store, I’d go to another and I’d by buying a size “4″ or a size “12″.

I’ve never fully understood why woman either brag or complain by saying they are a size [enter size here] because they never fully mean anything (to me, at least). Obviously, you know when you are larger or smaller by what you used to wear or by actually measuring (which is what I do.) I wish that women’s clothing was sized more like men’s clothing. You know, just straight measurement numbers.

Now, for a bit of humor, I offer you up the sizes of clothing that I bought, just to show you the broad spectrum of sizes I fit! (One Amber size fits all!)

Gap slacks - Size 4
Gap Shirts - All size small
Old Navy pants - Size 9
Old Navy shirts - Sizes small and medium
(forgot what store) shirt - Size large
Forever 21 pants - Size 11
Old navy shorts - Size 5

Now, I understand that pants have different fits, and so that is why I can buy size 5 and 9 from ON and have them fit the same.

But I have to say, I really, really enjoy the Gap, as I have always been able to buy small and their clothes fit me like a glove. They make me feel like a queen!

So, do you guys have any favorite stores you like to shop at? Both for style and for how they make you feel? And have you ever been to a store where NOTHING fits you correctly, that all the clothes were quite possibly made for an alien with 12 foot legs, a 40 inch bust, and no butt?

It is amazing that when I just randomly did a search on a screen name that I have on AIM, that it ends up that it belongs to a teacher I had in high school and apparently he blogs?

Wait? The whole world blogs now, I suppose. I can remember when blogging was a fringe thing. Years ago. Ages ago. And it reminds me of this and this and this.

Ah, the evolution of it all.

Just think, I started that blog, what was it? NINE YEARS AGO.

And I can’t believe it is still up on the ‘net.

And, oh yes, I was one of the firsts on Self-Portrait Day:

And shortly thereafter, a friend of mine joined in on the fun:

Okay, I’m done now.

I’ve been craving Blue Bell Ice Cream recently, which bites since it is only sold in the south.

However, I can purchase four half gallons for overnight delivery for $119. Worth it? Heck yes.

So each month I am going to do extra work or sell something in order to reach my $119 goal to buy some really expensive ice cream.

Wish me luck! I’ll keep you updated!
