d, was that one of the Danskin triathlons? My daughter participated in one here in Wisconsin. She and a couple coworkers did it as a relay. Alexia did the 20k bike. She's all stoked to do another, now.

But the details fall at just the right places to make me look all hourglassy, and the fact it's black keeps all the detailing from looking too foofy and girly for me.

I bet with the new bra, it's KILLER.

Also? Annabel is too cute, and she has such shiny shiny hair! Is it thick? It looks like it's crazy thick.

No jury would convict if I killed the neighbors right now, right? I'm back in LA for the night. I'm picking up my car and driving back to San Diego in the morning to save on rental car costs. The neighbors up here are having a party tonight. They have a band that's been playing for over an hour and my whole house is shaking from it. Also? It's mostly ranchera and mariachi music. I think they've just switched to a DJ. I'm ready to go get a chainsaw and see how many I can kill.

I share your love of Nordie's bra-fitters, Susan. I was in the same situation (still wearing old nursing bras) and ended up getting two new, French bras at Norstrom recently. Makes a HUGE difference in how clothes fit. Glad you found something that makes you feel sexy and pretty.

Still can't get over how Annabel is morphing into this beautiful big girl!

Annabel is adorable.

DF and I need to get bra fittings like whoa.

We just booked our honeymoon trip! We're going to the Florida Keys in mid-September. Three nights in Islamorada and 3 nights in Key West. Can. Not. Wait.

Annabel is too cute, and she has such shiny shiny hair! Is it thick? It looks like it's crazy thick.

It's pretty thick--unfortunately, she got my tangle-prone hair and tender head, hence my leaving it in such a low-maintenance style. She can get something fancier when she's old enough to care, and hopefully old enough to style it herself!

I bet with the new bra, it's KILLER.

It totally is. I was going to buy shirts, then bra, but concluded on my first trip to the fitting room that wasn't such a good plan. So I left the pants I'd already picked with the nice helpful Lane Bryant staffer, went to Nordy's for the bra (because the Northgate LB doesn't carry large cup sizes in stock) and then went back to LB, wearing the new bra. It was such an improvement in looks and comfort that the bra fitter suggested clipping the tag off of it so I could wear it out.
