~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.

I could use you too, if Emily is willing to let you go.

Depends. Do you live someplace warm? Are there nice people? Will you keep her in better than the style to which she is accustomed? Are there babies? I gotta look out for the v-ster.

I normally go to Nordstrom for bras, but I'm going to wait until I get to my goal weight, as a way of telling myself that I really am sticking to the diet this time.* Until I get to where I want to be, jeans are coming from Costco and Value Village, and bras come from places where they're under $50 a pop.

*Despite the fact my lunch today was a chicken bacon club, fries, and non-diet soda from Kidd Valley. Um. So I have cravings sometimes.

Hmm. DH did a little investigating, and it sounds like one of the vacancies is actually a brand new position, but that there has indeed been much shuffling, probably at least partially motivated by FB avoidance.

And now I want a chicken club. I am way too suggestible.

~ma for your dad, Brenda.

-t has a new tag. She has displayed it numerous times today, so there is no need for her to freak out.

JZ has a new tag. This may be the third tag in as many days.

beathen has a new tag. It almost slipped by me, because it's about the same length as her previous one, and it still has the Serenity countdown.

Erika has a new tag. Another Otis Redding lyric.

Can I write my thesis on people's tags? That would be way more fun. Although MinK and MiRPs are fun. Just say it: MiRP!

Oh, crap, I haven't expanded the tetramerization paragraph yet. Bollocks. I will never sleep again.
