I'll make it an "all about ME" post. (but aren't they all about ME anyway?)
I am wearing my SKINNY JEANS today. Oh yes. My favorite jeans. They are a pair of levi's and just have that perfect fit. Let's see if the tag is still on. They are called "slouch flare" and size 7 junior. They aren't actually flared jeans - more like a boot cut.
Ahhhh. I love these jeans. I still can't get into any of my 2, 4 or my 6's and honestly, I don't think I'll ever get into my 2s again (that was insane skinny for me). The 4s are sized wrong if you ask me, so they are more like 6s. And then again, the 2s were probably more like 4s, but still - never will I wear them again. I want to get into my seven for all mankind jeans. I love those jeans. But these levis are my everyday love jeans. Not nice enough to go to work, but always nice enough to wear everyday at home, shopping, etc.
They are totally too tight though. And if I saw someone ELSE wear jeans this tight, I'd think to myself "try looking in a mirror and buy bigger pants" but I'm still wearing them. Fuck people like me who would say such things! :)
I don't have anything hanging out, they are just tight. And they are MINE. I'm hyped.
So happy 200 post to me.

added later - I bought a new box of opks, cause my internet cheapies ran out. The instructions say to hold in urine stream for 15 seconds. Please tell me, who in the hell pees for more than 15 full seconds? Cause I don't.
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.

About Me
- nancy
- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

You can fit into junior jeans??? My thighs are just WAY too big for that. Congrats on fitting back into these, though, that's fantastic!!
Heh. The 15 second thing makes me laugh - back in the first year of ttc when every month I was convinced I was pregnant so I would poas I always wondered how on earth anyone could pee for that long.
I sure as hell don't, it's why I have my pee cup.
I love anything with skinny in the title. I bought two pair of "skinny flares" the other day and I was happy as hell.
Rock on hun! =) Oh, and yay for the 200th post on the new blog!
Lastly, 15 seconds?!?! Not happening, hahah
congrats, congrats, congrats and maybe after a few beers i could put 15 seconds to shame but i don't think that would work well with ttc. ;)
Happy 200th!!!
7 juniors eh... WOO-HOO!!! Yay for skinny jeans!
And I have my own personal pee cup as well- 15 seconds is really impossible!
i'm so damn jealous. my ass has been growing out of control ever since my doctor told me i couldn't work out anymore. i think i'm an 8 now. i'm thinking about trying yoga. he said i can't do anything that will break a sweat. i was going to buy myself a treadmill but the doctor actually said no to that too.
