In which I find out that

I'm a size 0 (short)!! Yes, according to the sizing gurus at Chico's, that is what I am. Chico's is a never-never-land, where no one can be larger than a size 3 (or 3.5, maybe).

My yarn shop group seems to swear by this chain, especially its Traveler series of clothes, so I went in and had a look after buying Lucky Jeans for L in the mall. Yes, it's a small, small world at Chico's. I feel quite model sized, though of course, unfortunately, short. . . .
