Go you indeed!

But, I really, really dislike my new boss. And, we thought one of our girls ran today, which was kind of stressful and not fun. The staff told me I'll get used to things like that happening, but it was the first one I had to deal with, and it was packed full of the not fun kind of stress.

I love my mother, and she helps me in more ways than I can describe, therefore, I will not look at this evening as a source of frustration, but rather, as a chance to cheerfully reciprocate.

My Cindy's broken.

Pushing your buttons, is she?

::pets Cindy's head, offers her petit fours::

::no, really, they fix everything::

My busty nursing-mother friend had no suggestions for Plei; she sadly confirmed that the pickings for formal dresses fit to nurse in are slim, and what little is there is mostly lousy. I'm horribly sorry.

I did find this at Nordstrom: not a nursing dress per se, but longish black cotton (and, if too long, looks like a nice plain style that'd be easy to hem up), semi-dressy looking, and buttons down the front: [link]

I think I'm going to try finding a Rockabilly dress I can mess with.

Sadly, the dress you linked to wouldn't fit across Luke and Laura.

I think i'm gonna order pizza.

You're welcome to have some, vw.

Or anyone else, but I know vw is looking for dinner.

Good luck with the mantra, Cindy.

Aw, rats, Plei, I'm sorry. It doesn't seem like it should be such an impossibly difficult thing to ask for, and yet... Bah.

Charlotte did say she found a dress recently at Torrid that was the first off-the-rack thing she'd found in years that fit both her bust and waist, but it looks like the only natural-fiber anything Torrid carries is t-shirts; everything dressy is made of something disturbingly unnatural.

So, Tropical StormTopic!Cindy, you love your family?
