I guess I need to design women’s jeans that are made like men’s jeans. Why do men’s jeans have every size available in waist and length? If you need a 31 x36, yep, they make that size. If you need a 42×30, sure, they make that size too. This makes NO sense to me why women’s jeans are not designed this way. Do they think all women who want to buy a nice pair of jeans have long, skinny legs? So they thought they were being clever by giving us 3 options: “Short, Regular and Long” sizes available. However, just because I have a size 4 waist (at least in some stores) doesn’t mean I should have longer legs then a size 0 waist. The bigger the size the longer the pants get. Why is this? And how many size 0′s are out there? Come one, they shouldn’t even have a size 0, or the new thing is “double 0″-sorry to my readers that are a size 0, but I just can’t understand how a waist can be that small. My one thigh wouldn’t even fit into a size 0. As my friend, Elaina once said, “Size 0 sounds like you don’t exist.” Again, sorry to my tiny, skinny readers, I don’t mean to sound harsh, it just is bizarre that their is a size 0 that was created. I guess they did it to make us feel better because they have made the sizes bigger and marked the sizes “smaller” to make women feel better about themselves. Like a size 4 would probably be more like a size 8 thirty years ago. Why am I going off on jeans, because I just got back from jean shopping and every time I TRY to buy jeans I get so FRUSTRATED!!! I have short legs and those jean designers DO NOT realize their are SHORT people out there. I have to buy the “short” jeans and STILL HAVE TO GET THEM HEMMED. Hello, what are you telling me? That I am so short that you couldn’t even imagine making size 4 jeans that short. Come on designers, there are short, curvy women that DO exist, just like their are double 0 size women that exist.

Ok, enough jean talk. Thanks for letting me rant and rave about it. Jean shopping is just so frustrating!!! Can I get a “what, what” on that one.

Onto another VERY frustrating topic: My cat’s health. Guess what we discover on him yesterday? Yep, you guess it…another abscess. ARE YOU SERIOUS!!! Dr. Julie had to take care of it this time since I was not dropping another $150 on him. This time it was on his folded ear. We have had more problems with that folded ear. Other cats know it is a weak spot for him and always attack his poor, folded ear. Last night he walked in the house and Seth noticed something on his ear. He thought it was just dirt, but when I got a closer look I knew we had a bigger problem on our hands. Since Seth can not handle blood, Dr. Julie had to step in. I have also had to remove ticks from this cat since my dear hubby doesn’t do well with those kinds of things either. I always tell people if I wasn’t an organizer, I would be a nurse. Of course, that means lots of medical schooling that I don’t have, but you get the idea. Anyway, I have no idea how so much “yucky” stuff can come out of an abscess. I hope my readers never have to take care of this kind of thing. It is so fowl and don’t even get me started about the awful smell.

I’ll leave you with a happy ending….some photos of the two loves of my life: (This one was taken a few weeks ago. How precious is this sight!)

Guess who can sit up all on his own…

The famous-open mouth, drool dripping down his chin-face: (EDIT: Thanks to Seth, I forgot to mention Abel’s ONE long hair. Look closely-you can see it sticking out. We are very proud of this one piece of hair, being that it is the only visible hair he really has.) I love my bald headed baby!

Lovin’ on mom
