Push-up bras have the cups closer together, don't they?

Or Plunge bras.

Kat, I can ask my friend who used to work in a specialty bra store the next time I see her. It may not be until next weekend.

Yeah, I have to get demis or balconettes most of the time to avoid quadraboob for the same reason as Kat. Given my volume, a pushup is waaay too much. Problem with a smaller band size is that they really aren't that much closer together. And extending the back often makes the straps slip off, actually exacerbating the whole too-far-apart thing. I mean, I measure 40C, which doesn't work. I'm wearing a 36D, which kinda works, though there is still too much shifting going on to my liking.

We are in a hotel in San Jose. A trip here for a hockey tournament is NOT about me enjoying any of the trip, is it?

But you like breakfast! We could do breakfast!

Or dinner, or sushi

Yay for working iPod! Boo on bad Dana's day.

And YAY for Just. Happy. Allyson.

Switching out some wall art today we discovered the rubber feet on the back had melted and left chocolate puddingy clumps on the white wallpaper. ugh. FYI, rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball, a soft clean toothbrush and a paper towel took it off without damaging or loosening the wallpaper.

And then H ran around replacing the rubber feet on all the art we've unpacked with felt feet.

We got the last picture up in the living room this morning. It looks fabulous with everything else. I just need to take pictures. And then upload them.

I just mopped my stairs by hand. Oddly, this is easier than vacuum/sweep+ regular mop. Must remember.

I really hate my vacuum and wish it would just die. It works, mostly, which is why I can't justify replacing it. But it works mostly and then literally falls down (it's an upright that seems to have forgotten that fact) and never fails to nail me at least once. I hate having to go over the carpet umpteen times to get up all the goddamn cat hair. But I'm wary of spending $$$ now. Ahrg. I hate my vacuum.

We just got a cheapo vacuum and now I LOVE vacuuming because it picks up so much dog hair/dirt. Every time I empty the canister it makes me happy.

What'd you get, Stephanie? Our vacuum cleaner is literally held together with duct tape in two places.

The thing is, I loved it when I got it, and for years. It's just not working so well now. I've probably had it for 7+ years. I'm really tempted by refurb dysons, except for the price, if I knew they'd work well on wood floors too, and not just shoot shit out the back (a problem I've had with a lot of "all-floor" vacuums.) So, what long-lived, spiderwebby-fur-picking-up, good on hard floors, manueverable, non-attacking, bagless vacuums do people like?

I am upstairs puttng Frisco to sleep and I've been trying to remember. It was maybe $60 and we had to assemble it. Oh, I got away. The vacuum says Eureka lightspeed on it. It's no frills but I love it.

Why bagless? Just curious why people like them. I had a stick vac for a while, and I hated emptying that thing.
