I can barely stand to wear my bra at home -- I don't how you guys stand corsets.

Better support. No straps digging into my shoulders. Better support for my back, which makes me more aware of my posture.

Believe me, I am SO tempted to get a 'for everyday wear' overbust corset in a nice heavy black cotton.

I really want a Peanut Buster Bar. This desire is contraindicated by the fact that I have to appear onstage in less than 6 hours wearing what amounts to a metal-studded bikini top, an uber-short plaid skirt, and fishnets.

But the important question is, do we get pictures of you in this outfit?

Jilli, my sistah!

Cindy, I'm heading for the fridge and the can of frosting now...

I renewed my license. They will retake your picture if you don't like the first shot, but I just wanted to get out of there, and well, it seemed wrong for a state agency to be...accomdating. It only took 20 minutes...during lunch hour...and I didn't have a form with me. And Chris was good the whole time.

Mum, Chris and I then went for donuts. We're going to my mum's for dinner, tonight. She and Chris walked up to the school to get Julia and Ben, for me. They're home now and having donuts, and mum's gone to pick up a cake and make me a roast beef dinner.

Is it my birthday or something?

Is it? HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CINDY!

Also? Both women I dealt with, at the Registry of Motor vehicles, were not only polite, but funny, too.

Thanks, Kristin.

Ooooh, I want this corset, in black.

Is it my birthday or something?

Why yes, I think so.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CINDY!!

Happy Birthday, Cindy!
