Why are my pants shrinking?

Remember these?

Or perhaps this?

Or this bad boy?

Or these little little gems?

You see, I have a problem: my pants seem to be shrinking. Or at least I hope that’s what’s happening. But it might possibly also be from the above culprits. I don’t think that’s the case, I think it’s more likely that my pants are shrinking. But just to be safe, I’m going to try to lay off these puppies for awhile. Well…starting on Monday. Because this weekend I’m making this and these (They’re for a baby shower. And Mom-to-be HAS to have these. I can’t say “No” to a pregnant lady!!!).

  1. Hi Kate! Hopped on over from the 31DBBB blogroll.

    Wow, all of these look so yummy. :) I can’t imagine giving up cookies entirely though. I love sweets too much. The peanut butter cups sound tempting too. Good thing you have until Monday to enjoy them. :)

  3. Definitely the pants. Demand your hubby check the settings on your dryer, as something is obviously causing this shrinkage.

  4. Popping in from 31DBB, great humor! Shrinking pants is truly an epidemic, and with all those yummy culprits…Though I don’t think I could give up cinnamon bun.

  7. And since I’m taking them to a baby shower, I’m hoping there won’t be many left for me to nibble on!

  8. I’m stopping by from the SITS pro-blogger challenge. Those look amazing, and if the pants are shrinking, then that’s just an excuse to go buy new clothes. ;) BTW, you and your husband are a picture-perfect looking couple!

  10. Those desserts look fabulous. I’m a life coach and it’s important to nourish yourself – growth is good.

  11. Anytime you need someone to help you with those desserts, I’d be more than happy to volunteer. They look beautiful and also delicious!

  12. Will you please come to my house in Alaska and cook for me?!? You officially have me salivating!

  13. Oh no, it couldn’t be it. There’s no way it was the pie or cookies or tart… :)

  14. Really those look so yummy…..I could handle a little “pant-shrinkage” in exchange for eating some (or ALL!!) of those!

  15. Oh my gosh! Must Bake Now!!! Thanks for inspiring me. Let me know if you solve that little pant shrinkage problem.

  16. Thanks so much for the support Phyllis! Now when someone asks me why I’m eating that last cookie I can say “A life coach told me to,” right?

  18. [...] set them out for the boys, and they ate every single one! Wow. I think I’ve found the way to prevent myself from eating all my own baked goods! Apparently you just need to employ college boys to eat all your food! I mean, my hubby usually [...]
