Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Suzi thanks so much for posting that account, it was lovely to share that with you. I've never been to the Grand Canyon.
I have been to the Claremont and I love it! Never actually been able to indulge in the spa there, what a treat!
And now back to grading. wah!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, not even one hour of work, but I feel so much better! Now some general organizing, and figuring out of shit, and I'll be good to go. (I have a new person starting Monday, one deadline Monday and other on Tuesday, and training Weds-Fri, so just not a lot of time to do work this week....)

Our wings are not tired.
Fist pumps for a wet and accomplished -t.
I hate all shopping so bra shopping is no better or worse than any other.
I had forgotten about Khan Academy. Hmmm, I just looked at the options. A few things that I could enjoy.
At the office and need to do work stuff first. Blah. Then I need to meal plan for the week. It seems the only way I get things under control. I gained back the whole 20 lbs I lost. Time to get on the wagon again.
eta: and a fist pump for Jesse too!

hip deep in pie
I went to a fancy bra shop in Toronto this fall and they put me in a bra that felt like it was made for me. It was $210, and I just couldn't. But I've thought about it a lot every since.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Scrappy, I'm trying summon the willpower to go bra shopping. I thought I had a stinging insect in my shirt and frantically whipped my shirt up while at work and outside. Yup, murderous underwire. Maybe a nap first . . .
I also need to find dressy but comfortable flats for a garden party. I have until June, so I have time to do online shopping and fuss with returns. Any good stores/brands? I'm looking at llbean's skimmers, but they're a boring brown.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I feel like I should make the move to nicer undergarments, esp panties. Like it's a sign of adulthood or something and I'm still wearing the just-out-of-college look. You know when you decide it's time to buy a grown-up couch? I'm feeling that way about my lingerie. But then I look at the fancy $20 per pair panties and they look like they'd be VPL hell and go back to Target and buy one of those 3 or 4 packs of plain ol' cotton undies.

I cannot advise--most of my underwear at the moment was purchased in six-packs at Costco.
A $210 bra??? I feel like at that price it ought to like, get me coffee in the morning, too. Or at least snuggle me in bed?

I get those Costco 6 packs as well, meara. See? I buy my panties in bulk.

I don't consider panties to be a good investment, so I do Target, too. On the other hand, I'll spend money on bras, although once I find a good style I tend to wait for them to go on sale and then load up.
