Bras I am lucky in that Maidenform tends to fit well, and it's reasonably priced. And some of the bras are actually pretty cute! And it's a relief to hear how many of you share my utilitarian views on panty shopping.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

I buy my undies at Target (Hanes Her Way) and my bras at Nordstrom or the Rack. Which I guess shows my priorities...
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.
Brava, -t! I too got soaked this morning. When I left the house it was great and misty, but my weather app said the rain would hold off until 10. Woops!
By the time I got back to the car, I was soaked to the skin (SO glad I wore a wool shirt, bra, and undies), and the dog of course was filthy muddy. 90 minute run with an average pace of 14+ minutes, which was disappointing. But it's the longest run I've done in a couple of years, so I'm going to forget about the time and just focus on the distance.
Laura, I really like the Zombies, Run app--it has a fun ongoing story, and a lot of neat things to do on the website as well. AND they're doing an update in April, so excited.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay -t!
It was $210, and I just couldn't. But I've thought about it a lot every since.
Holy cow. (It puts me in mind of the free $600 haircut I got -- so much better than any other, but still not worth it in my budget.)
You guys, I feel amazing! Plenty of accomplishments for the day already and now I can just sit and watch my stories. AND I finally remembered to get blue cheese dressing and take some chicken out of the freezer, so now I can finally have buffalo strips for dinner!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
...and signed up for my next one May 3rd in Napa. If anyone is interested in joining me after for food and wine that could easily be arranged...
Yeah, 'suela, I was glad I had the foresight to eschew cotton today, but my ancient running tights were still super heavy around the ankles by the time I was done. Probably won't be an issue in May.

Spring for new tights! You deserve them!
Speaking of running, Jesse, you might find this appropriate for the Tumblr: [link]
It made me a bit weepy, I admit.

Thanks!
Also, I feel like my plain cotton underwear (top and bottom) is a sign of being a grownup -- I wore way cuter stuff when I was younger.

Wow, it's pouring out. Really hammering down. Yay! But I'm glad I got my run in before it really opened up.
Now I'm huddled on the futon in sweats and woolly socks and Mom's old cashmere sweater. Should clean the kitchen and start some bread, but maybe I'll catch up on the news first.

Sick. Throat hates me.
But I'm down to two unpacked boxes in my room. I refuse to acknowledge all the boxes outside my room.

Well done on the 5K, -t!
And kudos to Jesse for getting work done and Consuela for the morning run!
I am returned from Target with a new bathtub mat and shower curtain liner, because the ones I have right now need to be tossed in the dumpster. I also have the ingredients I need to make Cornmeal & Chia Seed Crusted Tilapia for dinner tonight and Chicken Sausage & Shrimp paella tomorrow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Damn, people have gotten shit done like mad this morning. My last shoulder procedure is wearing off, so weekends are harder than usual, and I'd be surprised if I left the house today, even though there's a onesie art class I want to go to nearby. I've been trying to work through a block--I've been to a life drawing session, a "salon", and am now contemplating the class.
But I did publish a (n awkward, orange) picture on tumblr and dA yesterday, so that's a bigger deal for me than you could tell by looking.
I think Colin asks after the twins now because he has a little one of his own
To be fair, he has always asked about them (I'm pretty sure he's never met them). But the tenor is different now that he's a father. I can't believe he's supposed to be coming over sometime soon, but not bringing the Bundle (I have no idea if he really has a name--they don't call him anything consistent). Not-crawling is the perfect time to visit my apartment.
I've found my sizing through the now missing chi chi bra store, so I order more of those online wherever is cheapest. Panties are this DKNY sort that mix ruffles, lace, and bows and I far prefer them to anything else.
