One day Macy's
Yesterday after dinner we all got in the car and headed over to Macy's big one-day sale. Dave's mom was in the market for a new coat, I was looking for some new jeans, and Dave and his dad were looking to snoop around the Apple store to check out some cool gagdets.
I wandered the aisles for half an hour, teetering under an ever-growing pile of clothes to try on. Once I got into a dressing room, I was moving so fast it was like the Matrix in there. Sadly, I didn't find anything I really liked except for a sweater (which I ended up getting). Happily, I tried on a pair of size 10 Calvin Klein jeans and I didn't have to suck anything in to get them on. And they were comfortable! Sadly, my belly still hasn't snapped back from being stretched out into the next county from my pregnancy with Henry so I had two unsightly bulges hanging over the waistband on each side of my belly button. Blech. Thus, I think I'm going to be stuck in size 12's for a little while longer. Or, I need to get me some Spanx to smooth it all out until it goes away. In the meantime, hello sit-ups!

You gotta luv Spanx. It's airport friendly, you know.

You have so many options. The following for example:
http://www.applebottoms.com/index.php?option=com_shop&view=category&id=163&Itemid=150 - plenty of room in the hips, butt and thighs + spandex that contracts when you don't need the extra space anymore. There are other styles but I like the apple pockets. I'm wearing some now, size 9/10. If I wanted them tight like the models' I'd probably pack into a 7/8 no prob. And you know I'm not tiny. Spandex good!

I wish all the styles came in the leopard print. Woo-hoo!
