I went shopping with my mom and sister. My sister works at Old Navy, and they have massive sales and she gets a discount.
She got me 2 pairs of SIZE 12!!!! jeans. For 11.25 each.
They fit. They fit well, and are a little loose in the waist and thighs. WTFF!?!?!?!?!
Also, between the 3 of us, we have ALL THE HANUKKAH GIFTS FOR M! So MUCH angry birds, robost, Phineas and Ferb, ninjas, spaceships and dinosaurs. Mom wouldn't let me give her more than $15.
And they had made a Sam's Club run, and brought GIANT bags of dog and cat food, and 2 giant bags of cat litter. My family is the BEST! She also took us out to lunch and bought me a prime rib sandwich, which is basically an excellent prime rib on a bun. I threw out the bun and snarfed the steak and fries. NOMNOMNOM. I hadn't eaten at all yesterday -- got too busy.
My mom referred to M to a clerk as her "grandson" twice today. For the first time. OMG, so CUTE!
Jesse! Don't go to that place on the internet!
Shit.
Too late, probably.
Too late, probably.
I felt inappropriately touched on the internet and had to close the window. And I will hug many people happily.
I'm afraid I am about to make Allyson's head explode:

sarameg, I'm so sorry. It's so hard.
Frank, what a wonderful thing that your mom is happy and getting the care she needs when she needs it. I hope you are all able to enjoy the lessening of stress with her move.

I thought the hug site was cute! Virtual hugs!

It was too late! That place was terrifying!!
Erin, let me recommend never buying jeans that are at all loose, unless you really want them that way, because they always loosen up as you wear them. Just saying.
OMG, I had to have the antivax convo in the first fifteen minutes of my road trip. I did pretty well, so she had to pull out the "Well, you don't have any kids" card.

Yes, because clearly you don't care about anyone who might possibly get infected by way of her kids. Only if you have kids do you have a right to care about public health.
And having kids makes you lose your mind, obviously.
I was about to post this on Facebook, but realized too many relatives: I just walked home with my stockings in my purse for the first time in a loooong time. I got a massage after work and it's warm out, so why not.

S says ON jeans shrink about 1/8" when washed, so they should be perfect. And they're not loose, loose; just comfortable. Not like "I can fit into size 12's if I don't eat or move or breathe" -- I just...fit.
Haven't worn a size 12 since...1985?
