I’m sort of tottering between size L and size XL for shirts… and it’s proving to be quite an annoyance per example of finally returned shirts from Old Navy the other day.

I’m making a shirt that says “gin and tonic” …just because, well, at the party I was the official gin & tonic maker and it just seems like a neat idea. It’s either a neat idea or I’ve lost a little more of that mysterious thing known as “sense.”

I was just going to pick up a ringer tee at Old Navy, but since I was at Walmart this morning I decided to take a look for the hell of it. I summoned up my strength and ventured into the men’s clothing section hoping that no one would see me, hahaha… I found a rack of Fruit of the Loom ringer tees.. only $4.50 and tagless! Not that the tagless thing really means all that much to me, I’ve never had any sort of tag irritation, heh. I grabbed an XL and went on my way. I got home, after finishing up the rest of my shopping of course, and tried it on as per usual.

It was absolutely huge! I immediately knew that it would be far too large and since I needed to go back to walmart anyway… ugh, I exchanged it for a large. Now, granted, Patrick through text message asked in that sort of declarative way that it would shrink. I, of course, knew that, but didn’t expect it to shrink enough given that it was so incredibly large.

So, right, exchanged for a large… it fits quite nicely, though the size difference was rather vast between large and extra large, oddly. I wash it, try it on again… HAHAH!! It felt like I was putting on a small! Actually, it wasn’t that bad, but it is a bit on the skintight side, which could be a good thing…. someday. Okay, so I know now that the XL will shrink enough to fit right, lol.

Oh the insanity!
