I was your size prior to my recent weight gain.
I shopped Rickis for pants in the petite sizes. Same with Banana Replublic.
Rickis also has tops in sizes 0 and 1, so they are more fitted. Smart Set also has tops that would fit.
H&M is really good for tops and dresses. Same with Zara.
Old Navy online now has petite sizes. Something to keep in mind.

Thanks for the bump.
Good luck for you all tomorrow!!!
I'm always trying to keep an ear out for how things are going with those currently affected.
There aren't many on priority lists just yet because they are still holding out (opting status) for the chance at an alternation, before making a decision. But the alternations are staying withthin the Departments AND apaprently the package is paid out of the budget where the alternating employee goes, so not exactly favorable to some.

I believe Pampered Chef is more kitchen tools and expensive ones at that. I have never been able to bring myself to purchase anything from them.
Epicure is something I am quite new to, but I just received my first order (I spent about $80) and I'm loving it!
I bought a variety of dip/spices and they are fantastic, with numerous uses. I also purchased a steamer/cooker thing for the microwave, which was backordered and I'm axious to try it.

I had a conversation with my HR Advisor this morning.
She isn't sure why we were pulled into a meeting and told we would be declared surplus on April 1, 2013 without getting affected letters now.
She also told me that she couldn't give me one and didn't understand why I wanted that piece of paper. I explained to her about the fast-track process we were informed of at the WFA session and also it would be good to have this in the case that we would like to seek out an alternation as of April 1, 2013. I'd like to be able to prove that this meeting did happen!
So my next step is to go to the Associate DG/Director of my program with my request.
I also have to check if it is possible to get access to my home Departments intranet from the outside. Fun.

Same here with the Factor V Leiden.
I've tested and confirmed it for myself (I signed up for a childbirth study 6 years ago). Personally I have not had issues (ie. m/c).
I believe my Mother and sister have it (and I'm positive it comes from my maternal side because there have always been blood issues there). Both have had issues that are very possibly attributed to Factor V but have never been tested.

Ok I take it back... 20 minutes doesn't seem that far off.

Our schoolboard offers two programs for after-school learning: "The Babysitter's Course" and "The Stay Home Alone Course."
I believe he was in Grade 4 when he took the "Stay Home" and in Grade 5 when he took "Babysitting."
I gradually started leaving him alone at 10 years old and by the time school started that September (he was 10.5ish), he was ready to be alone after-school.
As for having siblings in his care and babysitting. We started letting him watch YDS after-school this Fall (but only 1-2x a week) and he's had some babysitting gigs for us, but none that require meals - usually just bedtime and he doesn't like us out later than 10-11pm.
He had his first gig with the neighbors just last weekend. An easy one though: The girls we already in bed sleeping, so he just had to watch TV and we were next door if he needed any help.
