I wish I could tape it and play it, but my bra is NOISY. creaky. just about every movement, I hear my bra. It's embarrassing.

Yes! I have some awesome bras that (I can't lie) make my rack look AMAZING. But they creak like hell. I assume there's so much structural support (boning, underwires, whatever) that there's bound to be some creaking.

Oh, maybe that's why I don't know. I tend to hate underwires. But three out of the four I bought today have them, I think. Although I must say it seems like underwire technology has moved on since I was last in the market, because they were much more comfortable seeming. At the store, anyway, we'll see how they hold up (ha) in real life.

I third the issue with creaking bras.

And one of them has more padding than I generally go for, which is funny because it's also a larger size, so I put on my shirt to see how it looked under the shirt and it was totally all, HI THERE!

When I wear my awesome bras, I will occasionally be caught off-guard when I look down, and they're just sitting there, like "Hello! We are your rack and we are KICKING ASS today. What can we get you?"

You were on an IV, right?

Nurses are all "You sure you can't drink enough to pee before we give you the meds?" Sure, if we're going to wait four hours...I do not understand other people's kidneys, but mine are very diligent when it comes to sucking off the water and depositing it in my ankles, not my bladder. They pump saline boluses through me and I still don't need to pee.

I've only noticed I made it 24 hours without peeing once, but there was no discomfort. I just didn't need to.

Is the True Orange sweet like actual orange?

I wouldn't say so. It's not an orange juice substitute at all (though for baking I double or triple up nicely), it's just an orange flavoured drink that somehow does not need to be sweet. I'm not sure how they excised my sweet tooth so tidily.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend much money since in theory I am only about halfway to my weight loss goal. But if it takes me another year to get there, it's probably worth it to get something now. See also, re: pants. There's a $68 pair of pants that I want to buy from Duluth, but I can't decide if I should go for it now, or buy them next year and try to find something thrift shoppy for now. But I'm going to have to do something.

We had a meeting with Ryan's teacher last night. (His daycare centre runs a kindergarten class in the mornings.) Progress reports are kind of hilarious at that age. "Ryan has been making steady progress in holding pencils, but needs more practice in cutting things out with scissors."

Ha, that's awesome. I always had trouble cutting things out with scissors. Heck, I still have trouble cutting things out with scissors.

I assume there's so much structural support (boning, underwires, whatever) that there's bound to be some creaking.

Yep. I have a couple of bras that are amazing, but they do occasionally creak. I just assume that no one will hear it over the swishing of my petticoats.
