Bummer, Sara. I was doubtful I would find my size at Soma. The first time I was in there I looked at what was on the racks (hah!) and didn't see my size. I also didn't ask anyone. When I went back with Kelly I discovered that they keep some of the less requested stock in the back and you have to ask - but they were great about letting me know my options.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Oh, the Soma people were very nice (though I still can't get over the name) but yeah, I am not their market.
I've had bra issues since I was 12. Usually managed something. But now, at nearly 35, to have a complete and utter failure? After losing so much weight and getting into a shape I like? Complete fuck you, with sauce.

Suzi, do they carry Soma locally? I think I've seen one of their stores close to my house. Hmmm.
Oh! I lucked out Thursday night and the hotel pool was empty so I swam for about an hour. Not continuously, mind you, but I wore myself out considerably.
Now I think I'm ready to sign up for the 24 Hour gym in order to use their pool. I figure if I get up when DH does (3am) during the week, I can be in the pool by 3:30 or so and home to start getting ready for work by 5am.

sara, have you ever thought of getting a reduction? I mean, it's not just reducing them but also reshaping them. You could tell the doctor what issues you're having and he or she can tell you what they can "fix".
I wish I'd spoken up more when I had it done. I'm still VERY glad I had it done but I should've been more vocal. Hindsight, and all that.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I'm with scrappy - hate 'em and avoid 'em as much as possible . My 'meat' is all towards the outside. Everything feels squished by the end of the day
I did not accomplish anything today . Musicfest in town to celebrate our new plaza
I'll be doing the same thing tomorrow

Sara, Nordstrom is not the be-all and end-all! There are other bra stores! Be strong!

I'm kinda really freaking askeered of surgery. Frankly, as long as it is a cosmetic, not physical issue, no way I'm going under any knife. This is a pain in the ass clothingwise, but I've luckily been spared any physical maladies. So I'll just whine.

Suzi, do they carry Soma locally?
Nicole, yep. Park Meadows, right next to White House/Black Market. There may be others, but that is the one I have been in.
I need a new dryer. It takes 2 or 3 cycles to dry a load of clothes. I haven't ever bought a dryer (the set I have was "inherited" about 13 years ago) and have no clue what to look for. Also thinking, if I'm going to buy a dryer, I should probably dive in for a new washer too. Nothing I need to do right away, thankfully.

Totally understandable. Even though I was in constant pain, it took seeing a friend's relief after getting it done for me to take the plunge. If it hadn't been a physical issue, there's no way I'd have done it.
I just hope for all the bra haters that the One True Bra comes into their lives. Soon! Myself included.
Time for sleep so I can hang out with Suzi tomorrow and not be a zombie. Sweet dreams, all!

Not the one I was thinking of but easy enough to get to. Yay!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I am so sorry about your bra issues, sarameg. I wonder what would happen if I ever lost weight, but when I was thin, I was a B cup, so I am assuming they would just go away. I wear Lane Bryant's Balconette right now, and I can't imagine any other bra, it is so perfect for my boobs. For some reason, in the Balconette I take an F cup, but in regular bras, a DD.
I just got home from costume strike, which because there were only nine actors was easy and fun, and we had champagne AND I reorganized the entire makeup storage system, and we still left before the set people.
Tomorrow there is a Drama House (they have a house on the frat quad just for drama interested students) and the TOSCARS (Todd Theatre Oscars), which I wasn't plannng on attending, but it turns out I have to pick up a prescription at the hospital on campus, so I might as well go. My student might bring her ktten to the BBQ, so I am excited.
This weekend sure is a whirlwind, though!
