A Mommy Story

Aaron’s third interview went extremely well. All they’re waiting for now are the results of a background check (state required) and drug test. When he passes those (which there’s no reason he shouldn’t), he’ll be given an offer! Yay!! I can’t even begin to express how excited I am.

I got dinged from ClubMom. Last month I had received an e-mail saying I wasn’t selected for the first round, but they planned to bring me on for the second round of bloggers. Yesterday I got the final e-mail, saying after some thought they changed their minds. I guess they’re just not that into me. I understand, although I am a little disappointed. I had some big hopes to write the story of planning my second pregnancy via a ClubMom blog, but it wasn’t meant to be. Boo.

Thanks to the recommendation of Kvetch, I went shopping for clothing today at Lane Bryant. I was able to get past the stigma of wearing “big girl” clothing, simply because I’m so sick of not having clothing that fits properly. If it fits in the hips, it’s too big in the waist, and shirts are never long enough. This was different, though, and I got to feel happy trying on clothing. Clothing that fits, is fashionable, and comfortable – what a concept!

However, I do have one complaint: women who wear a size 2 on their fat days should not be allowed to work at Lane Bryant. Not only is it depressing, I simply cannot ask these women for fashion advice. “Do you think this would make my butt look big? Oh wait, I forgot: you don’t have a butt.” Seriously. You can’t tell me these women are working there for the discount.

I am 19 days away from turning 30 (on June 21). I still don’t know how I feel about this. I don’t know if I’m ready to no longer be a 20-something. But I do know what I want for my birthday:

With this chain:

I simply LOVE these necklaces. So elegant, so basic. If you want to see their other designs, you can view more of the Blend Creations designs here.
