WOW
So I will be two years out the end of this month. The wows are far and few between.
My best friend, hubby, and I did some retail therapy at the "Philadelphia Outlets" which are really in Limerick (sp?) Pa by the power plant.
We went into Wilsons leather and they had the most amazing winter jacket I had ever seen. It was perfect. Grabbed a medicum and it was to big...so I grabbed the small and Brian said "just put it on to make sure it is ok"
Never ever EVER in a million years would I have guessed the followng words to the sales person would have been:
Hi, this is a GREAT jacket
Him: Yes, it is our best seller as a matter of fact. People buy two of them..one for themselves, the other as a gift etc etc.
Me; Yea - well....do you have it in an extra small? I don't see ANYTHING in extra small here and the smalls are just to big
Him: Many of our things do not come in extra small. But this one might be one of them (checks the computer) Yes, they do sell it in an extra small. However the CLOSEST one to ________, NY, about 4 hours from here.
WTF man?! A SMALL is to BIG on me??!!! Weird.
Now...the sales man, who had been pushy from the get go said to me "well, it's not to big (it was to big), and besides, it's a winter jacket, you'll have a sweater or something on under neath so you'll need the room"
I just looked at him and before I could answer Brian goes "uh, actually sir, she's an ER nurse who works in the middle of the night and will be wearing a SCRUB shirt under neath it, which is part of the reason it needs to fit right. Scrubs are thinner than said "t shirt". And how many female "evening attire" dressy outfits have YOU seen that are big and bulky?"
Wow...wow...wow....
Not only do I love my tool and my health, I love my husband.
Oh, and PS...found the jacket ONLINE today WITH a 20% internet only coupon so with shipping it is gonna be $40 LESS...AND they have it in an extra small.
I feel like wearing the damn thing BACK to the store (which he told me was only available in their outlet stores, yet it was on their regular store website) and going "Hey, look..your store temporarily has an extra small in it. But it came IN with me and it's leaving WITH me"

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 

HA!! Gotta love when hubby sticks up for us!! Can't wait to see the jacket. Oh and you ARE THAT TINY!
ETA: my Grandmother called me the day after the last cooking class and told me that there was no way you were ever heavy enough to have RNY - it took at least 10 minutes of convincing because she kept insisting how tiny you were! lol
