welcome spring
This is the kind of day that led me to settle in the south. The sky is a gorgeous blue. It's shirtsleeve weather and the daffodils are blooming. Of course, they were also blooming earlier in the week when it was 33 degrees F and raining...I just got back from walking the dog. The neighbors are out washing their cars. I just hope that nothing is ruined when we freeze again next week.I should be either grading papers or working on Mom's quilt, but instead I'm sitting at the computer. I'm going to a community theater production of Guys and Dolls later this evening, so I guess I won't get much done today.
I much quit posting my weight losses, but today I have to rejoice. My jeans were so baggy that I had to buy new ones. I bought size 12 for the first time in probably 20 years. I know that they have made the sizes larger, so what size is that in 1970's sizes?

Well done, girl!
I think the old size 12 is what we still see in clothing patterns. McCall's Misses 12 has a 34 inch bust, 26 inch waist, and 36 inch hips. The new US clothing standard for size 12 is a 38 inch bust and 30 inch waist and a 39 or 40 inch hip. You could have knocked me over with a feather the first time a saleslady suggestd I try on a ten! (Relax. I am not wearing a ten these days, vanity sizing notwithstanding! LOL)
