I am not much of a shopper, but...

I am not much of a shopper, but I have shopped like crazy between last night and today.  I tried on about 10 different bras at Wal-Mart last night and only 1 was an ok fit.  Sorry Melissa - but even the ones you suggested didn't work out.  🙁  The bandeau dug into my boob tops and I couldn't find the Sweet Nothings Active Spaghetti-Strap Sportsbra.  🙁  From the photos that one looked promising, but I didn't see any of them there.

I did end up with a Danskin NOW 360° bra.  It's a racerback, seamless, has removable pads... it was like, $10.  It's mostly comfy, but it is really tight, so if I wear it for too long, the tatas ache.  It kind of gives me that uni-boob look.  Hopefully, it will stretch out a little.

I also bought another bra like my highlighter yellow one.  One of the $5 cheapies that feels good for at least the first few days.  It's by No Boundaries and it actually says on there "Best Bra Ever".  Those are super comfy.  I just wish they didn't stretch out so easy.  I might ask my mom to take a look and see if it would be possible to take them in a little...

ANYWAY... I went to Dillard's today to look around.  The sales-ladies are too nice... I hadn't planned to try on a billion bras, but they just made me want to.  Since they had measured me at a 30D when they got me into my first awesome bra that is the size I went with again.  UNFORTUNATELY, that was too small.  So was DD.  And DDD.  😳  I don't feel like my boobs have grown much if at all since I got my first bra there.  But I was squishing out all over the place.  That might explain my current discomfort with all things bra.  So, bad news for me:  They didn't have a bra like the nice one Shaun bought me there previously... I think that style is discontinued.  🙁  So, all of the styles and shapes are different.  I will have to find something totally new when I decide to go real-bra shopping again.  😐

Since I wasn't in there looking for a real bra, but rather a bralette - I tried not to feel too discouraged.  I did try on a super comfy bralette and ended up leaving with 3 of them (thank you Shaun).  It was 2 for $28 or 3 for $30, so duh.  LOL  I am pretty happy with those.  They are SUPER thin so it feels like you've got nothing on at all.  They also don't have pads, but that's ok.  I tend to wear a thousand layers in the winter so I'm not too worried about the headlights for now.

This is the one I have:

But not in that redonk color.  I have a brown, a purple, and a beige tone.

I wanted to try these out since they are so highly rated, but I didn't see them there.  Also, they are pretty expensive for what they are.  I probably would have been sad if I'd worn one and it was nice.  I don't want to pay that for a bralette.  😳

Next problem to solve:  Panties.  I've worn out all of my panties.  LOL  I know what I like from Target, but I guess I need to see if they still have them.  That's a problem for next week.  LOL

So glad it's Friday!

So glad it's Friday!  I feel like this has been a long, slow week.  With loads of frustration recently.  I am so ready for the weekend!  😃

I have big fat plans to do not much of anything.  Just like I like it.  😃

One of my coworkers brought me some Mexican Jumping Beans tonight.

One of my coworkers brought me some Mexican Jumping Beans tonight.  They are pretty darn cool.  But they are wide awake right now.  LOL

I have never tried Zoya Remove+...

I have never tried Zoya Remove+ - probably because it's expensive and I've never seen it anywhere.  But it does get an ass-ton of shout-outs in the nail world.  Now I don't have to buy it.  I keep plenty of acetone around.  😃

SCIENCE!  😃

What is with racist assholes and me lately?

What is with racist assholes and me lately?

Needless to say, he has re-blocked me.  Man, what a loss.  🙄

Dilan Peoples:

Hello. When I blocked you my plan was to wait until I no longer remembered why I did, then unblock you and resume communication. So, hi.

Me:

You blocked me because I'm a feminist atheist who isn't afraid to speak my mind. That's not gonna change, so you might as well re-block me.

Dilan Peoples:

Oh.. Holy Lady of Guadalupe, does such a creature exist in Alabama??? How could you be so culturally, spiritually, and racially suicidal?

Me:

I'm a loner. I prefer animals to people, so it doesn't matter. Also, my son is half-black. Can't remember if you have a problem with that one or not.

Dilan Peoples:

Oh, yep, that'll do it. I blocked you because you're a race traitor. I can tolerate discussion with atheists, feminists, and the whole cultural Marxist crowd, but white women who sell out their own heritage and reject the love of a European man for that of a totally different species... Read the Bhagavad Gita by Lord Sri Krishna. You are the very essence of the Kali Yuga, the Age of Darkness.

I am about fed up with wearing bras.

Ok ladies - I am about fed up with wearing bras.  I don't want to go without because I would be very self-conscious about my nippies showing, plus I don't like the friction of my shirts on them.  I've been looking into bralettes... like sports bras (but not so constrictive), as far as I can tell.  They look super comfy and I'm cool with something like that for everyday wear.  I don't feel the need to have my tits pushed up under my chin with cleavage showing.  I'm 30 and have been with the love of my life for almost 5 years now.  I don't have to do that crap anymore.  Not daily, anyway.  😛

BUT... much like with regular bras I'm having a hard time finding something that fits.  GRRR.

Sometime last year (or maybe even the year before - I'm not entirely sure), Shaun bought me a really nice bra at Dillard's.  It is the most comfortable bra I've ever worn.  They lady fit it to me and that was awesome.  Apparently it's pretty common for women to wear the wrong size bra and I was doing just that.  My problem was that I needed a 28 - 30 band, but Wal-Mart and Target (the only two places I'd ever bothered looking for bras because I can afford stuff there) start at 32.  Victoria's Secret doesn't even start smaller.

So, I love that bra to death, but I've about worn it out since I've been wearing it EVERY DAY.  It was getting a break the day I washed it, then right back to wearing it again.  I need something else for daily wear.  Preferably something cheaper, and comfy and soft, with just enough padding to keep my headlights from showing.  Any suggestions?

I've been to Wal-Mart and tried a couple of things.  I picked up the Genie Bra.  The band around my ribs fit, but it smashed my boobs so flat that it kind of hurt.  I think the Ahh Bra is about the same, but I haven't had a chance to find out because they don't have that in my size anymore.  I picked up a highlighter-yellow bralette for $5 at Wal-Mart and LOVED that thing for all of 3 days before it loosened up around the ribs too much.  I also tried a Gilligan & O'Malley bralette from Target, but while it fit around the ribs it cut into my boobs at the top.  I am starting to get annoyed!

Am I just going to have to suck it up and go back to Dillard's?  I wouldn't imagine that there would be that much variation in a bralette.  They all look pretty standard.  Anyone out there have any experience with this?

I did these yesterday while I wasn't feeling super great.

I did these yesterday while I wasn't feeling super great.  I wanted to do something that would look neat, but not take a lot of time or brain-power.  LOL  So, DOTS!  Lots and lots of dots!  😛

I have dotting tools, but you can also make dots with things around the house, like the not-pointy ends of pins (not pens), and toothpicks, and pencil erasers...  Pretty easy, and they are fun.  I'll keep these on a few days, I guess.
