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!

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.

I'd say the majority of my underwear is from Target. When I can get into Costco again I will look there. Until the snowbirds leave Costco is impossible. No parking at all. Lines 10-12 deep at every register. The last couple times I went there to fill prescriptions it was a horror.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I buy panties at Target. Bras I have to go more expensive to get anything like a good fit, but I am trying not to go too overboard with that since my size is still in flux. Once I stabilize I am totally treating myself to a fancy fitting, if not actually buying the fancy super expensive excellent fitting bras.

5k was great! I kept up a good steady pace until I hit the steep hill about a mile from the finish. I am not great at hills in general, and in the rain and mud I was just concentrating on not falling (a) on my ass, (b) all the way down the hill, (c) into the creek or (d) all of the above. Which certainly kept me from feeling bad about how fast I was or was not going!

Anyway, fastest 5k ever (obviously, it's my only 5k ever (52'55" ftr)), fastest mile ever (14'10" breaking that 4mph barrier!) AND that puts me at over 25 miles for the month of March, which feels good. Did not get stuck in the gravel parking lot when I tried to leave and now I'm home with a fluffy robe and a fire and no need to go back out in the rain. Good day!

I think it was snuggling a bit. When I am wealthy I will have one for every day of the week.
