Steven Cojocaru to slap some makeup on me really quickly, and he refused because a reporter from Town and Country was coming to interview him. I begged and begged, and he refused, and I ran out saying “I’m going to remember this, jackass!”, to which he responded with a husky laugh, saying “Don’t they all…” I got in my Jeep and drove to the nearest drugstore, writing a journal entry in my mind about what a jackass Steven Cojocaru is, but the drugstore had no makeup and then there was a fire drill, and I didn’t win the Emmy because apparently you can’t win if you don’t attend.
It would have taken, like, 10 seconds to slap some mascara, eyeliner, and blush on my face. Stupid Steven Cojocaru.

I took the spud shopping for new bras and shorts and a bathing suit this morning. We went to Kohl’s, because it’s close, and you can get pretty good deals on stuff there. It was a huge pain in the ass, though, because all the kids are out of school today. Kohl’s was packed, and there was a lot of traffic on the road.
I hate shopping for bras – I wait until mine are practically two threads held together by a clasp, and then I haul my butt to Lane Bryant and buy 8 at a time so I don’t have to deal with it for a good long time. Shopping for bras in a department store is a huge pain, because there seems to be little rhyme or reason to how everything is arranged, and she doesn’t like underwire bras, and blah blah blah. I finally found a couple of bras in different sizes and sent her off to the dressing room. She came back and told me which one fit the best, and I made her go back tot he dressing room with bras four different times. Once the bra shopping was over, I made her try on shorts, and then we went looking for bathing suits.
Unfortunately, the only bathing suits we could find were bikinis (which she won’t wear) in the petite section (which she’s not), so I told her we’d look online when we got home and see what we could find.
She went off to look at the purses, I grabbed some pillows for the couch (the old ones are getting pretty threadbare), and then we were on our way.
When I got home, I called Fred to tell him how much money I’d spent, and he gasped (hey, bras are expensive!), then said “I KNOW bras are expensive. That’s why y’all should burn them and let it all hang out!”
Yeah, I’m sure.

The two things I want to get accomplished this weekend: weeding in the back yard, and cleaning (vacuuming and dusting) the garage. Oh, and getting caught up on my email. But don’t hold your breath on that one!

Another sunset from our back yard.
The Bean, serious.

Ha! You vacuum the garage, freak!
And the bean is seriously starting to scare me with his facial expressions.
Hey Robyn…
off bitchypoo topic here…went to the tater the last few days, and…nothing up about The Shield from Tuesday? Sorry, I guess I shoulda posted this over there, but I was here, so…
I don’t see how burning a brand new bra saves any money.
If you walk from side to side, the Bean’s eyes follow you! Creepy!
Sorry this girl would never burn the bra. If bras did not exist, I’d be the ACE Bandage queen! Ugh. Glad I am not from “that generation”!
I love Beans picture. Of course, I thought “OK was skeem is he thinking up now?” I made the “fang” picture my wallpaper. I just love it!!! He looks so much like my naughty Andy Pants
Are stores in your area open on Good Friday? Is this the norm across the US?
Val – same here. I don’t even hang around the house without a bra on, usually!
Yeah, stores in this area are open on Good Friday, and I’m pretty sure it’s the norm across the US.
I am with Fred – burn them and run around bra-less! I hate them! First thing I do when I get home and rip that baby off! God wasn’t thinking when he gave me a chest! LOL
That pic of the Bean looks like he is posing for a portrait……I think I will borrow it for my wallpaper…..I just love it, thanks for sharing.
As far as bras, I do the same as Robyn….wait until I’m hanging low with the 2 threads and clasp thingy….heee! There is nothing like the feeling of a brand new bra that FITS.. I go to the same place and suck up to the saleslady and she calls me when they go on sale and I go in and buy a dozen, then I am set for a couple years…….one of the worst disasters (man made ones anyway) is to discover that the favorite bra is no longer being made!!!!
Robyn….have you tried Target for bathing suits? They have a huge selection out (at least here in Michigan they do). Good luck!
I think the Bean looks rather handsome with that firm jaw set of his.
Aw bras! My favorite brand is Champion sports bra and I always bought at least four at a time. They have all cotton cups that has TWO seams across the cup for extra holding power.Yet they appear seamless under knit shirts.
In the gym one night,I jealously commented to my “secret crush”-a man known for being quite direct, that the cute young gals with perky breasts should be banned from the gym.
He responded,”YOU have perky breasts too!”
I blushed,but inwardly thanked my great Champion sports bra. :oP
Uhhhh, vacuum and dust the garage?
My only comfortable bra in years was purchased at Avenue a few months ago. My bras are either too big in the cup or are falling off of my shoulders.
The nasty truth is – If I didnt wear a bra, Id be kicking up my boobs just so I wouldnt trip over them on my way to the car:) like fall leaves only much less romantic 🙂 Skin should come with a satisfaction guarantee. Ive been watching MTV’s I want a Famous Face (whatever) I would gladly suffer pain for a lift. The “Kate Winslet” chick inspired me to start saving my money.
Imagine being able to buy a bra off-the-rack, one that didnt leave indentions in your shoulders – ahh paradise 🙂 LOL
Steve is such a bitch.
Oh, and if you want to talk about the fact that I had WLS, that’s cool. It’s not a secret anymore. Not that I’m trying to get billing or anything, I just didn’t want you to think I was still hiding. Heh.
