The Perfect Pair of Jeans

Tonight's Post. My quest for the perfect pair of jeans. This whole thing is Dennis's fault. He gave me some money to buy a new Christmas outfit. Now he gave me the afore mentioned money about 10 days before Christmas. I had little or no time for clothes shopping. However, in between things I simply HAD to do I managed some shopping. I wasn't happy with any the the jeans I tried. Not to mention that the mirror in the dressing room at the IFA store was about the size of a postage stamp. I'm not buying any jeans when I can only see about half my bottom in the mirror. Anyway, Christmas came and Christmas went-no new outfit. Sorry kids but that getup I had on was the best I could do. Today I had to go shopping for a wedding gift. I decided to pop into Christiansen's just to have a 'look see.' {can't afford anything in THAT store.} You guessed it. Jean's 50% off. [which still makes them plenty pricey.] However, I simply fell in love with a pair that 'took me back' as it were. Just like ones I would have bought when I was 16. Oh yes, I HAD to have them. Breane says they're not sexy because they are BIG belbottoms but I don't care. They are a size 8[I lie not-but they are a BIG size 8] and they were half off. It don't get better than that. Oh, I also found two holiday blouses so I'm a happy camper. I did find the wedding gift. A fondu pot. [give me a break-this is the second time I've bought a wedding gift for this young lady.]

so you really have to buy another wedding gift for 2nd time marriages? - what if Brandon and I renew our vows - it's like a second marriage -- can we get another gift :)

Lol Rachel. I agree tho. If we renew our vows we should get a second wedding gift :). I like fondue I just haven't made any in awhile. Chocolate dipping sauce and cheese sauce are good for a multitude of different desserts.

what a family! Everyone is a comedian. Truthfully I have joked about 'new year-new husband.' Maybe you shouldn't invite people to your second wedding who are still paying for your first wedding gift.

LOL - What you should do is just write a note stating that fact -- is that tacky?!?! :)or better yet - buy a book titled "How to Make Your Marriage Last" or "How to Make This Marriage Better Than Your First".

No - I am just kidding about all of that - you are nice to buy someone a gift!

This is Rachel not Brandon

I should have guessed. I know my boy has a 'way with words' but that was a bit more creative than I would have expected from him. I would hate to hurt any feelings but this situation just 'begged' for some joking. Lots of hugs.
