I am gearing up for my 20th High School Reunion this weekend. I am not panicking. The really important thing, of course, is figuring out what to wear. The event is happening over two nights. Night #1 is the Homecoming football game. Night #2 is the gala event at the hotel ballroom. I’m in denial about my wardrobe for #2. Let’s just tackle #1. What to wear to the football game.

I’ve lost about 12 pounds since last year. For the game I’ll just wear jeans and a non-stressful sweatshirt. I have three pairs of jeans.

Pair #1 – My “skinny jeans.” They’re from the Sarah Jessica Parker Bitten line. I like ‘em. The waist is too low. The sweatshirt will cover that.  The problem? I’ll still know my muffintop (though shrunken from 12 lbs ago)  is there.

 Pair #2 – My “Go To” jeans. They almost always fit me. They’re stretchy. Even when I’m fatish.

Pair #3 – My “Emergency” jeans. You know…those jeans. They always fit, let’s just leave it at that.

Ok well, I tried on  pair #2 this morning, my go-tos. I put them on. Um…er…the muffin top splayage was waaaay worse than I expected, my friends. I panicked. Is my scale broken? Again?

I tore through the drawer in a frenzy. It took me a good five minutes to figure out that I’d inadvertently put on Pair #1 thinking it was Pair #2.

Thanks a lot jeans! This morning’s Xanax is for you. Next time, I’m going with leggings. Love, Robin.
