Stretchy Pants....It's a Conspiracy!

Anytime there is an excuse to use the word conspiracy I use it....and so does my Dad.

For example: If Academy has their hunting shirts on sale for $19.99 and the add says $19.99 but when you get there it's really only $19.99 for sizes S-XL and the 2XL is $2 more..... that is a conspiracy!

Oh, and when there is a coupon for Venus razor refills in the paper for $4 off and Walmart "conveniently" only has the 12 pack of refills on their shelf......(instead of the 4, 6, or 8 packs they usually have)......its a conspiracy!!

But, yesterday I decided that the biggest conspiracy of all is stretchy pants. For those of you who have never worn stretchy pants or pants who seem to become bigger at the end of the day, you may not understand the impact of the conspiracy. So.... Let me enlighten you---

As I was getting dressed for work yesterday I noticed that my grey slacks seemed awfully baggy....you would think that this would be a happy moment right? Under normal circumstances I would have been thrilled with the thought of obvious weight loss and at the thought of buying new pants. But NO--- I quickly realized that these are the same pants that I thought were baggy the last time I wore them. These are the same pants that made me think I was going to be able to go a size down......(here is the conspiracy).... to my dissapointment, when I went to the store to buy the same slacks a size down...the size I was already wearing fit PERFECTLY in the store!!! There was NO WAY I was going to get my hiney in a new pair of britches a size smaller. So I thought, well how can this be?? I have this exact same pair of pants at home and they are huge! So my options are to A: wear the baggy pants that make me look homely or B: buy the pants a size smaller and suck in all day until they too become looser and actually fit me. What kind of deal is this anyway??? See....I told you it was a conspiracy!! ;)

I'm not sure how conspiracy became a part of my daily vocabulary....but I love it because it makes me laugh....and I love that Dad does it too.....he is just a goofy as I am. I have a ton of other "conspiracy" examples, but I will spare them for now... I have plenty of other random words I try to slip into daily conversation too....I guess that's just part of what makes me me....or maybe it's a conspiracy too! haha
