Another Tear Jerker

Can Nicholas Sparks write anything else? I haven’t read all of his books, in fact, I’ve only read three and every single one has made me cry. I just finished Three Weeks with My Brother. It was a really good book and I recommend it to anyone who thinks they have had a hard life thus far. I cannot even imagine going through the stuff these two men have gone through and so early in their lives. Quick and good read :) There are some scary parts. Well mainly just the Blackie story. That gave me the eeks and that is why I personally hate birds! I think that maybe I was traumatized early in life by a bird or something.

Two thumbs up from the peanut gallery.

Seriously, Who Designs This Stuff?

In preparation for my trip, I did a little shopping. Monkey had some money burning a hole in his pocket and wanted to go to Target to spend it. Instead of making another trip to Old Navy or something, I decided to get some long sleeved shirts at Target. Now, I don’t normally shop there for clothing because I hate trying stuff on and I know what size I wear at Old Navy.

I find the plain LS tees and grabbed mediums to be safe (I would normally get small at Old Navy). I figured if they shrink, I will be good. Well, I tried them on last night and I was shocked!! I know I have some huge guns (HAHA, yeah right!) but these shirts were almost too tight on my arms!! I just couldn’t believe it. My arms aren’t much larger than my 10yr olds for crying out loud!! I couldn’t help but think, “Does the average woman really have smaller arms that me?” And I have some puny ass arms for real. I just don’t understand who they think really has that small of arms. I think a medium is like an 8-10 or something and there is just no freakin’ way this shirt would fit ANY average sized woman loose like. They weren’t fitted t’s or anything, just regular old t-shirts. I dunno, just thought it was kind of odd. I guess I learned my lesson, buy stuff at the place you know it fits you? Oh well. The shirts will be fine, I just won’t dry them in the dryer?
