PANTS

Last night I was feeling the need to buy a new pair of jeans. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on them, because I'm once again committed to losing weight. I decided to check out what Target had to offer, and found a pair of pants that were nice, and on sale for only $13.00. How could I pass that up? I got the size I needed, and went through the check out line. The gal who helped me out was just like the Kristen Wiig character on SNL- "Target Lady". She had to comment on every item the lady in front of me had, and would say things like "I have got to get me some of them." When it was my turn to check out, she grabbed my pants and called me "Dudester". She told me I had "scored" with the price of the jeans and seemed more excited about the purchase than I was.

This morning, I got up and decided to try the jeans on before I put them in the washer- wouldn't you know it, they were too small..... Now I know that I didn't choose the wrong size, because all of my jeans are the same size, and they all fit. I'm guessing Levi Strauss has a different cut than Banana Republic!

I quickly went to Target and returned the jeans for a size larger- and wouldn't you know it, the same gal who helped me last night was at the CS desk. She remembered me, and was equally cheerful! As I made the exchange and got in my car, I started thinking...... I need to get to the gym and lose a few lbs, so I don't require an even larger size next time I purchase jeans. I think that feeling good on the outside helps me feel good on the inside as well.

I'm happy the Target gal was happy and helpful. Her attitude was contagious, and I found myself wanting to call people "dudester". I appreciate April from Target on this day..... Not only did she sell me my britches with a smile, but my butt looks amazing in these jeans!!!!!
