Double XL T-shirts

Sometime in the last few weeks, I've outgrown my pajamas.  My large t-shirts no longer fit around the middle (it feels like my belly is being strangled) and I only have 1 extra-large t-shirt.  Sigh.  What's a girl to do.

So... when Dean came home, I lamented to him that I wasn't fitting in any of my sleep t-shirts.

"No problem," he said.  "I brought you something from up at work."  He pulls out what has to be the largest t-shirt I have ever seen.

"Omigosh!  Is that a double XL?"  I ask.  Dean checks & confirms the size.  "Uh, thanks..."

The first thought in my head is that if this tent doesn't fit, I'm going to be thrown into a fit of depression over how big I am.  The shirt looks like it can fit 2 or 3 of the old me.  It looks big enough for Dean & I to crawl into & seek shelter from the cold.  It's literally the size of a tent!

The second thought in my head is that, for some people, this is their size.  That made me sad.  So I ask Dean - "Are there really guys up there who wear this size t-shirt."  He says "Yup."  Wow.

So, I take a deep breath & reluctantly pull the tent sized t-shirt over my body and...  it is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo comfortable!

It hangs loosely over my belly which makes me actually feel smaller than the large t-shirts did.  I kinda love it!
