May 24 Girls DayWell I did it. It's been something I have been thinking about for some time and just never really wanted to face the facts. After 20 years or so it was about time to take the bull by the horns and do the proper thing. Today, after work, I stopped in at a reputable specialty lingerie shop and made a purchase. Yup, I walked on in there and said "I want to have a bra fitting and buy a proper bra". Yup, it's not easy to tell some strange woman that. And off we went to the dressing room, from there I had no idea what to expect.
Truthfully, it's odd to be standing in a dressing room with a strange woman who asks you to remove your shirt so she can have a look and measure. It kind of makes you nervous when you pull of your shirt and you are standing in front of a mirror with an ill fitted bra. The elastic is broken, strings hanging and every rational thought is that it should be garbage, but you can't because it's the bra you think that "fits".
With a few swift motions of the sales lady and a quick dash through the store she returned with what seemed like an ordinary plain bra, no frills, no bows, no fancy colour, just a beige bra. It wasn't until that swift sales lady did up the hook that the bells rang! Holy Dinea! The girls where looking good! It fit like a glove! And believe it or not it was immediately comfortable. That's it, first try I found the one! This sales lady was like some great goddess who held the powers to make the boob look great! That's it, I'm taking it! No questions asked!
As I'm getting dressed in my threads I pick up the bra and examine the tag. OMG!!! I wear what size???? That's completely different than what the Wonder Bra box says I've been wearing! Why such a difference?? Where on earth do these sizes come from? I will never be able to go back to Sears and get the Dollar Days bra again! And speaking of dollar days... well I'm going to have to work some over time to pay for this damn bra! And because I paid....well lets just say 4 times the amount that I would normally pay for a bra, this very expensive piece of material will never see the inside of my washing machine or dryer!
So today I treated my girls and myself. I have to admit that it makes a difference. If you've never taken the plunge to get a proper fit I suggest 2 things. Save up for it before you go (or have some open credit on that Visa card) and don't wait! You would be surprised how it can transform your look! May 15 Rate My LifeI did a rate your life thing.. and well here are my results...
Hmmm.. I'm not so sure that I'm thrilled with this. I have this orange line in the Friends/Family area. Do you think I'm lacking? I know life is busy and friends are spread out all over, but perhaps this should be something I should pay more attention too. I think I gotta sit back and take a look at all of this. May 09 A TV's Journey HomeOnce upon a time ago Chrissy used to have a 27 inch TV. But 5 years ago it suddenly disappeared. Chrissy later learned that this TV traveled around the city from apartment to apartment and finally landed a more permanent and stable home near the downtown area of Winnipeg. One hot day in May 2007, Chrissy was traveling along a busy street in Winnipeg and what did she see…. A Garage Sale! Chrissy likes garage sales. So she parked her car and met with the lovely lady hosting her auction of goods.
As Chrissy looked around at the many good she saw what she had been missing for so many years, her old TV.
And what’s that? Ms. Blythe is not even asking any $$$ for this lovely picture box? What? It’s all for me????? How wonderful!
It was a done deal, Chrissy will take the TV and treat it with great care and take pleasure once again watching her Thursday night shows.
How kind of Ms. Blythe to help me out with it…
But I brought my own help…..
And we carried it out…
And into the car…. Thank you Ms. Blythe for the wonderful gift! Good luck on your sale! Makes lots of money selling all your goods! Have a wonderful trip to the East Coast!
WeekendThe weekend has come and gone so quick! It seems that there just aren’t enough hours in the weekend to get everything done and before you know it the alarm clock is screaming MONDAY MORING! The time just seems to fly by, I don’t recall time passing by that fast as a kid. Maybe it’s because I have more to do now than I did then. I suppose that this is the joy of being a homeowner.
This weekend was a rainy weekend, although it was a much-needed rain as the ground was quite parched, therefore this lead to a weekend of indoor activities including the house cleaning. The kids on the other hand would probably have been much happier playing outside, but with the cats and dogs falling from the sky they were goofy nuts in the house anyway. I spend ½ of the weekend at my Mom’s house in the country as we were preparing for a family gathering on Sunday to celebrate Mitchell’s Confirmation. Up, that little tiny baby that he was at 5lbs was now standing up professing his religious commitments to everyone. He’s come a long way from being a shy little boy to a bigger, slightly shy BIG boy! His Mom and Dad (Shari & Ernie) put on a lovely meal. Ernie had even tried to be so sly as to convince us that he was up all night making shish kabobs while baking and decorating a cake. Ya, right! And I was up all night implementing world peace. Nice try Ernie.
At any rate, it was good weekend. The girls clowned around….
Mitchell stood tall and proud.
