The Accidental Road Trip

So I was surfing the Coke Rewards site, and saw they had a new college football section. Ooh, and for 1800 points I could get two free tickets to a USC game. Coolio. Click. Order. Arizona. Oops. Roadtrip!

Then Liz says, "I've never been to the Grand Canyon!"

So when you ask me what I'm doing for Thanksgiving, the response will be, "Tempe! Grand Canyon! and Vegas Baby!" Holiday Traffic, here we come!

Hey Liz, wanna go to the teacher store?

A call to Liz from my classroom cost me nearly $500. A necessary $500, but still, I get a little sticker shock.

You see, I've shrunk out of all my work clothes. Oh Darn.

(GUYS MAY WANT TO STOP READING HERE)

So we head into Lane Bryant and I start trying on the size that I think I am, and discover, nope, I'm a size smaller. Now I know that Lane Bryant has some serious vanity sizing issues, but considering I used to fit into clothing 4 sizes larger, I'm a little jazzed.

I bought 3 pairs of pants, several tops and a blazer. Then we headed over to Victoria's Secret and as I'd been suspecting, I'd also changed bra size. Who'd have known that when you go a size smaller in the band, you should go a size larger in the cup?

So no more safety pinned work pants, and hopefully by Back to School Night my new blazer will still look professional and not, like my other ones which swim on me now.

Hopefully in another couple of months I can say goodbye to The Avenue and Lane Bryant forever.
