For Christmas last year I was given a light blue fleece sweatshirt. I tried it on, and it was very tight around the shoulders and chest, and could barely be pulled down over my ample gut. I returned the gift to the giver (my mother) and apologized and said that it didn't fit right.

While sorting through some boxes this week, Mom found the shirt (she never returned it) and asked if i wanted to try it on again. I took it home and looked at it, taunting me from the back of the loveseat where I had tossed it. As I was talking with a very special friend on the phone, she encouraged me to go ahead and give it a try, right then and there.

Plucking up my courage, I grabbed the shirt and pulled it over my head. It slid easily down my shoulders and chest, and I pulled it with confidence over my midsection. Not only did it fit...it was loose. I mean...baggy loose! Holy crap on a cracker! COOL!

I wore that shirt with pride all day yesterday! <Happy Dance!!> :glasses:
