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.

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.

I'm getting the pig!

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.

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!
