Several months back, my niece told me about this store in a neighboring town where you can sell clothes you no longer want & possibly get some money back for them. So last Friday, I finally had time to go to this store to try selling my old pair of jeans. We waited for about 30 minutes when I noticed my niece's name was written on the board. Ok, so they finished looking at her stuff, but what about mine? I went up to the young store clerk & she told me that they couldn't buy any of my jeans. The good news for my niece was that they were buying some of her stuff. This was not a great night for me. :(
It turns out that this store only purchases items to sell to a younger democraphic, meaning if you're 25 years or younger OR you're under a size 7, they'll gladly buy your items. Sadly, all my 22 year old niece could say to me was, "Well, I sometimes see mothers in the store too." Yes, these mothers go to this store because they're selling their kids old clothes or because they are a size 0 to 4! Even though I'm trying my hardest to lose some weight, I'm NEVER going to be wearing anything that resembles what a teen or 20-something wears these days. Can I help it if I have curves that I prefer to cover? Also, do you know how hard it is to shop when you're height challenged? I dress to be comfortable, not uncomfortable. Ok, so maybe that's my problem. Whatever!
Btw, on our way back through town, guess who I saw heading towards us in the opposite direction? Yes, it was none other than Mr. Cutie. Boy, was he a sight for sore eyes! Actually, I saw a photo of him about two weeks ago in the local newspaper. The man sure knows how to dress for summer: t-shirt, shorts and flip flops.
On the bright side, I recently met two young women (both in their 20s)--on separate occasions--and we started talking about things when they asked me my age. One guessed 22 or 23 & the other 25. Then I told them my real age & they couldn't believe it! These compliments sure brightened up my day! :) I owe it all to my parents for my good genes!

Funny post. Dang I just hate getting older!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yes! I had the same thing happen, except fortunately for me (sorry I couldn't have warned you) someone warned me before I went there! You're right - no matter how much working out I do, I'll NEVER and I mean NEVER squeeze my butt into those tiny jeans. Nor, do I want to :o) YAY for curves!
