And then I realized that that shirt doesn’t so much “fit” as “is two sizes too big and looks like I’m wearing a pajama shirt with a pair of jeans, what a dork.” Time to put the shirt on the giveaway pile, I s’pose. So anyway, that’s a picture of ME wearing JEANS, which is an amazing thing.
Did I mention that awesome reader Bobbie rocks? Because she DOES.
Even Sugarbutt was amazed that I was wearing jeans.
Hell, even the spud noticed!
Today, jeans. Tomorrow, miniskirts slit up to HERE.
(NO, not really. I don’t got the legs for miniskirts.)

Last night I was a poker widow AND an empty nester for the evening. Fred went to a poker game after work, and the spud went over to her friend’s house, and thus I was left alone from about 3:00 ’til 7:30.
And ohhhhhhhh the plans I had! I was going to wait and eat dinner late (at 6:30) instead of at the 4:30 that Fred prefers! I could watch whatever I wanted on TV, and I could take an early evening bath if I wanted, and I wouldn’t have to answer to NO ONE.
What’d I end up doing? Watching a couple of episodes of “How I Met Your Mother”, eating dinner late (woohoo! PAR-TAY!), and reading on the couch in front of the TV, which was tuned to VH-1 Country.
Do I know how to live large, or what?

This morning after I talked to my mother for a little while, I was checking my messages, when Fred called.
“If you want to see something cute, you need to come to the office,” he said.
So I did. And BOY were they cute.
One of Fred’s employees was sitting in his office, and saw these three little ducks go wandering by, no Momma in sight. He went out and looked for the mother duck, didn’t see her anywhere, and so grabbed up the babies. He lives on quite a bit of land with ponds on the property, so he’s going to take them home and raise them. He estimates that they’re about four days old, and says they’re mallards.
They are UNBEARABLY cute. I picked one up and held it, and it cheeped at me and was so frightened that it vibrated.
I know it’d be a bad idea, but I can’t help wishing like hell we could have one as a pet! (Luckily, calmer minds will prevail on this one.)

Suggie and Toms are uncertain how they feel about The Momma in jeans. They ARE certain that they’d like a pet duck, though.

Woo hoo! Lookin’ fine in those jeans!
Now I want a pet duck, too… they’re a-DOR-able!
You look fan-fuckin-tastic.
Congrats on the jeans! Woohoo!!! I honestly couldn’t tell you when I wore jeans last, like real jeans with a button or snap and a zipper. I’ve had elastic waist jeans but those just aren’t the same. I’ve got 2 pairs of jeans hanging in my closet from about 20 years ago and I swear one day I will fit into them again.
wow, your smokin in those jeans! Would wear a different shirt though. You need to find a shirt that doesn’t camoflage?? the rest of you. Start showing off that boody π
Darlin’, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but those jeans look like THEY might be too big for you, too!
Must be a terrible problem to have. ;-D You are looking FABULOUS!!!
Robyn, you look GREAT! The jeans are rockin’ on you!
You look just simply amazing, rock on sex-ay !
~Denise in Georgia
You look wonderful!! Congrats!
We raised mallard orphans when I was a kid. We were foster parents for the natural history museum. My mom would use them as an alarm clock in the morning to quack us awake for school!
Whoo-hoo!! Hot Mama!!!!!
You are looking so happy Robyn!!!! :))))))))))))
You look great Robyn! Please check your email, I sent you an e-gift!
You look fabulous!!!!! Those jeans fit beautifully. And a shirt that shows off your tinier self will complete a wonderful picture!!! You rock.
And those baby ducks are beyond cute, and wouldn’t it be fun if you could have some and we lived in another dimension and the cats did NOT eat the ducks but played with them instead.
Robyn,
You look great!!!!
Woo! Congrats on the wearing of the jeans!
You’re looking downright scrawny! Whoohoo!
Damn, Robyn, you look GREAT!
Robyn-
Just want to say you look AWESOME! So glad all your hard work is paying off.
Chris
You do look great!
Looking mighty smoki’n in those jeans Robyn! I was thinking how awesome that cut would be with some heeled boots, but then realized we must be happy with your b.e.a.utiful new chunky sandals. Because those rock too! I’m so jealous!!! of the baby duckies of course…
::blush::
You guys are good for my ego!!!
Robyn, you look wonderful! I’m so jealous!!! π
Aw Robyn, so cute in the jeans! xo
My husband’s family had a (rescued) duck as a pet growing up. Great pet, but probably not appropriate for you with all the cats.
Oh my gosh Robyn, you look fabulous!!!
It’s like Christmas early – seeing another picture of you before the next set. YOU LOOK F A B U L O U S!!!
Talk about melting away pounds….. Keep up the great work!!!
I must concur, the jeans are a hit! Congrats! And have fun shopping for shirts that, you know, FIT!
Robyn, what size do you currently wear (email me) because I may have some things that fit you too. Let me know.
Hott stuff in those jeans, Robyn! I like that style, too… it suits you. Very cute!
Oh my god those baby ducks make my eyes water they are so cute! I’m so glad someone has taken them and has some land.
Also, Robyn – you look amazing. Seriously. You look awesome and I am so impressed!!
You look awesome!! Jeans are so comfy- glad you have a pair that you like!
I’ll chime in – Congrats and you do look good!
On my way home from work yesterday there was a mama duck and about 7 or 8 ducklings walking with her by the concrete wall seperating the highway I was on. It was very cute but I was extremely worried for them. This was bumper to bumper traffic. I’m worried that on my way home today I’ll see sadness but I’m keeping my spirits up that there won’t be anything!
On a lighter note, congrats again!
HOT!!! You look hot in those jeans! Those are the exact right style for you too, but you might need a different length…they have those at Lane Bryant in short, average, and tall (I need to get the averages, makes me feel so, well, average π But the bootcut and the and dark color are definitely the way to go!! Your thighs look HOOOT.
OK I’ll stop now π
You look fabulous! And also, awesome! Grand! Terrific! And all those other words that ultimately equal one big Woo-Hoo!
So happy for you. That must have felt unbelievably good.
All I can say is WOW.
You look GREAT in those jeans. Good for you!!
Robyn wearing jeans and baby ducks all in one day. I don’t know if I can handle the excitement! Hee!
You look great and I am so happy for you. π
Robyn! Wow, you look so superb! Ha! No one else has used that word today. That makes me like the first post, right? You probably won’t even see this but, wow! You are so damn inspiring and so amazingly amazing!
Robyn, You look great in the jeans!
You have a pretty face, which is even prettier with the weight loss
You really do look great.
A. You look great! Wow! Congratulations!
2. I had a pet duck. She was AWESOME- Her name was Bjorn (I named her before she started laying eggs and I figured out she was a girl), she lived indoors, was box trained, and was just the cutest thing ever. Even the cats liked her. Okay, maybe they didn’t like her, but they respected her and her wingspan. After having her for about a year and a half, I gave her to a friend who had a farm so she could meet a nice boy and settle down.
You.look.AWESOME.
I have to ask a question: As you disappear, where are the pounds going? Melting into the stratosphere, I think, leaving you lighter and more fantab than usual, which is a lot!
GOOD ON YOU, GIRL!
Robyn it is so wonderful to see your hard work pay off π And you look so darn pleased with yourself! Now please go in the closet or shopping and find a shirt that fits!
You do look wonderful Robyn. I am so happy for you!
Wow Robyn … you look fantabulous!!!!
Robyn,
You look amazing (and skinny)! Congratulations!
Robyn, I’m sure by now you know you look awsome in the jeans and whats better? You LOOK happy, very happy. Your eyes are sparklin π I love it! Get you some more jeans girl π And a cute pair of boots and a couple pairs of capris and ohhhh some of the new tank tops.. they are longer lengths now and in style π and of course you have to have one of the cute shirts to wear over the tank with the jeans and the cute boots! Have I told you yet that I am a clothes Hoe? I think I have mentioned it once or twice LOL
On the Duck Front… I wanna have you adopt a duckling.. that way I can see lots of cute baby duck pics every day! Freddddd, let her have the duckieeeee!
you look great!
Robyn, you look fabulous! Seriously, 5 years younger, and really, really good!
God, everybody else took the words out of my mouth! You look (checks to find an original adjective….) MAGNIFICENT!!!! Keep up the good work!
Awesome, Robyn! May I offer you a couple little pieces of advice? Well, I’m going to anyway … First: Don’t spend too much money on jeans, as you are going to be shedding sizes like crazy, and the jeans you are so excited to fit into today will be your outcast “big pants” soon enough. Second: As you do start to get into smaller jeans sizes, the ones with just a touch of lycra or spandex (I’m talkin’ 2%, not “stretch pants”)are your new best friend. They never sag or stretch out of shape in the knees or butt. Which means you don’t either.
You are doing GREAT!!!! Happy summer!
You look so cute!!
I used to wear jeans all the time then I got used to sweats, now as soon as I get home I change into sweats ASAP.
She’s too sexy for her jeans, too sexy for her jeans? What evah do you mean?
You look FAB, Robyn. Keep up the great work!
Okay, besides the whole jeans thing…
didn’t anyone else notice that the Sugg-Man not only matches the cabinetry, but also the grout around the tile?
Do you always pick your cats to match your decor? π
As Billy Crystal used to say, you look MAH-velous!
