Pigs are flying in Tulsa tonight



If you don't personally know my husband Josh let me explain something to you. He is a big guy!

Now, he's no Shaq. He's not even as big as his older brother. However, at 6 feet 2 inches and 270 pounds he's considered by most to be pretty large.

Well, today we went shopping for a new white dress shirt because tomorrow he has his first interview for residency programs (cross your fingers) and the only one he owns has the permanant dingy ring on the collar.

He also wanted one that could be worn with cuff links because he recently inherited a set that had belonged to his Grandfather, so we figured the best place to go would be a men's big and tall store.

I was the first one to walk into the store and I immediately asked the lady who greeted me if they had shirts for cuff links. She told me they only had a few and asked who it was for. I pointed to Josh who was picking up the rear with Macy and the lady said "Oh, I might have one, your pretty small."

I actually had to replay the verbal exchange in my head to make sure I heard her right.

Josh heard it too so it must be true!

ps. I'm doing a giveaway over on my jewelry blog.

He is large, but then again I have seen some really really large as in FAT men who probably go there more often then a guy who is just built large. Big difference I think. I bet that made him feel pretty good though. I miss you Sally....I really need a hair job. Sorry about Christmas, 600 dollars to register our car here. Crazy right.

My brother is even larger than Josh. He is 6'4" and about 285. In dress shirts he wears an 18 1/2" neck. Mom & I found some really good buys on dress shirts (some that can be worn with cuff links, because he likes those too) at Burlington Coat Factory. They looked very sharp on him. Try there! But- I bet Josh liked hearing that....I would!

That must of been a shocker! I have always felt he was large since the day of his birth (9lbs 9oz.).
