Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
What? no one told me that. I just bought a bunch of bras in December, dammit. And, no, they don't really fit right already.
I feel your pain. My bras stopped fitting early on, and for a while, I had one bra that, with an extender, kind of fit. Then one day, it didn't fit, either. I've just been getting cheapish larger bras off eBay and hoping I don't have to go out too often since then.
I'm going to need to go bra shopping in the next couple of weeks to get enough to last me until post-baby, now that she's getting up into ribcage land.
Susan, you might not ever get down to your pre-Annabel breast size. The rib cage expansion can stick just enough to keep them a size above.
Damn. Though I don't know how much ribcage expansion I actually got. But I need to lose 30 lbs. to get to 155ish, and
some
of it has to come off my boobs, or I'll look awfully out of proportion.
ION, remember all my travails with Former Boss? I was just looking at Former Employer's website because there are a few people there I'd like to contact about freelancing, either with them or with others within their network, because they know I'm a good writer and can speak their lingo. So I figured I'd make sure there haven't been major staff changes, and for the most part everyone is still there. Except for my replacement and the other professional staff direct report to Former Boss. Those positions are vacant. FB remains. Oy.
And I'm a bad person. I just emailed DH, who works just down the hall from Former Office, albeit in a different department entirely, and begged him to go gossip so I can find out what's going on down there.
A little more 'ma for my dad, please
brenda, how old is he? My mom just had her second knee replaced two weeks ago -- it's a tough surgery, and a tougher recovery. And they don't keep patients in the hospital anywhere near long enough afterwards these days. Much ~ma winging its way to you and him.

Is that what happens? Because I'm now a 38 but a B, which is tricky to find. Big back, little boobs.
Extra-strength ~ma for connie and DH, too.
ichy and can't take enough to stop the pain is enough to say - we need to revisit.
Yeah. I'm going up there tomorrow and I'll have some words if they havent' corrected the situation. In the mean time I'ma sic my mom's best friend on them, as she is well versed in pain management, mental disorientation, and fighting with doctors and hospitals.
I hope she gets it taken care of, today. If they don't listen to her in person, maybe you can make a phone call? They need to stop that medication right now, in case he's allergic. If he is, the allergy is going to get worse with each exposure.
~ma to you and your dad, brenda. I'm glad there are people around who can administer a good cluesticking, if necessary.
Thanks, ladies. I seem to do nothing but vent here lately. The car will be repaired and life will go on. Though I still think the universe needs to back the hell off of all of us.
If they're too small can't you get an extender for the clasp (assuming it's a back clasp)?
It's not the bands (yet) it's the cups. But I'll keep that in mind.
Susan gossiping by proxy is making me giggle.
All this bra talk is making me want to go to Lane Bryant and spend a few hours trying on bras. Well, okay, not want to spend the few hours, but I've learned the hard way that I *have* to try on a bra before I buy it. Not to mention I'm betting Lane Bryant doesn't have the amazingly helpful alterations lady who will put teeny-tiny darts in the bras you're purchasing to make sure they fit you perfectly. I think the alterations lady only lives at Nordstrom.
(Yes, I'm trying to distract myself from the work that has to be finished by tomorrow. Don't wanna edit things right now!)
Though I still think the universe needs to back the hell off of all of us.
Yes. Whys does the universe not understand? We keep telling it.
And now I want a Nordstrom.
vw, a multitude of felicitations on finishing your third incomplete! Soon we'll hear about your nefarious plans to take over the world, to which we shall say, "Ah! We knew her when...."
I could use you too, if Emily is willing to let you go. Me != morning person.
And now I want a Nordstrom.
I luuurve Nordstrom's. Neiman Marcus too. My wallet, OTOH, NSM.
Ah, "Needless Markup."(I say it that way because the first time I ever went it was with my drag queen attendant and he called it that.) So now it is Needless Markup forever for me.
