The "farmers market" was a disappointment this morning. Only one booth had produce. Everything else was spices, bread, nuts, and such. Nicole and I each got a loaf of bread that sounded nummy.

Then it was mani/pedi time. So relaxing. Now I'm home and contemplating chores vs nap. CJ got invited to a professional lacrosse game so he won't be home until later than usual.

Oh, dear. I'm sorry, Jessica.

Ouch, Jessica! Man, maybe my really old polishes should just quietly go away ...

It's hot as fuck and muggy here, too. But Sara has her ears pierced (again), and she's happy as a clam, so let's hope they don't get infected this time around.

I would come organize and straighten all of your houses. It's this one I have no interest in anymore.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

All my polishes are put away somewhere that I cannot remember. The downside of all my fast "cleaning" for the house showings.

I'm over my hissy of yesterday. Don't know why that sent me to 11, but it did. Now back to zen. But I don't think I'll try any more bra shopping this weekend.

I just read through the bra-buying pain posts. And, I can relate. I have a few Wacoals that work well even if they are kind of spendy. What I'm thinking you need to do is find a bra that fits in the cup and get the straps altered. I don't think it would be hard for a competent tailor to do and probably not that expensive (I go to Sanitate on Chestnut, btw).

For my wedding dress my dress lady is going to have me buy a few bras, see what works the best, and then alter the bra to fit exactly. I'm very excited about this! And wish she could do it for all my bras.

I am loafing on the couch and drinking a delicious beer after riding 36 hard miles today. I am filthy but beer was > shower. Soon shower then store to get something to make for dinner.

Yes! You can get bras altered; the last time I purchased bras at Nordstrom, the bra lady told me that. I, being a clothing-altering sort on my own, now do that to all my bras.

I hope none of you ever get to meet the scary mastectomy bra salesladies.

Man, I wish I was at all talented in this area! I would love to be able to alter all my clothes to fit exactly right.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've definitely found that the best way for me to get a bra that fits right is to go to a bra shop that does alteration, find one that fits in the cups, and have them take in the back.

I just saw yet another commercial refer to unhealthy food as "sinful." I am really getting sick of this.
