Oh for heavens sake. People are still trying to get around that whole "eat less and exercise more" thing, I see. Does Oprah have something to do with
this? Did she promote this on her show?

I think they're just the new fad superfood. I have no idea how they got lumped into weight loss. AFAIK, they're just better-for-you blueberries
(nutritionally speaking, not taste). I love acai, though. Unfortunately, acai juice is too expensive for me to buy regularly.

Does it taste better than pomegranate juice? That stuff is the yuck.

I have new shoes! They are these and I got them at DSW for 50% off of
the clearance price, so they were only about $30. They were the very first pair I picked up and they fit so well and so comfy, that I don't think I even
tried any others on.

EDA, I had a very similar shoe shopping experience the other day! I wanted new black shoes for work, and I went to Macy's. The first pair I picked up were
on clearance and fit well. I bought them, and didn't try on any other shoes. I never had it so easy before. I'm going shopping this weekend for some
more work pants; I hope it's just as easy as the shoes were.

I haven't noticed, but men in my office don't wear ties much. I'll keep an eye out!

If I see anyone at work wearing a tie besides security, I figure they've got a job interview.

Sorry for the double post. I'm not even sure this belongs here, but I don't know where to put it. Check out this kid - Arlo Weiner. He's the son of the creator of Mad Men, and he's got to be
the coolest kid I've ever seen. Don't miss the slideshow.

I wore a newer pair of shoes tonight for the second time, and I think I'm going to have to retire them already. Sigh. They're so cute, and pretty
comfortable, but they are wood platform, and they DO NOT BEND. It's so annoying! I keep walking out of them and stumbling. Ugh. But they're such a
great caramel color, and they match like everything. I will have to stick to cork platforms, which bend. I went out to dinner tonight with a group of friends,
and my friend's husband said I was walking like Frankenstein. Boo.

Bummer! I feel your pain. I have, that is, HAD, a pair of platform sandals that just did not work for me. I'm ashamed to say that I finally decided to do
away with them because...the soles squeaked. But I didn't want to be walking around the office all creak...creak...creak...
So, they went to Value Village, and hopefully to a good home after that. |

Arlo Weiner has got to have his own fan club. He's that cool.

My friends, I never thought this would happen to me. I thought that I would be immune! But I too have fallen prey to bad-fitting bra syndrome, as covered
(again and again) on Oprah and various makeover shows.
So today, I went to a little old lady bra ninja. And, she really was a ninja, though she wasn't so old. She was all about business, too -- she showed me to a dressing room, told me to take off my top, measured me in my embarrassing ill-fitting bra, disappeared for a few minutes, brought me in some bras and was like, let's try these. And, no, she didn't step out while I was changing, either; it's a good thing I'm not particularly shy because she had no problem handling the girls. The first one we tried was a 32 DD (!! - I had no idea they made that size cup with such a relatively small band.) The cup fit okay, but the band was a little tight. Anyway, in like, 10, 15 minutes I had three of the best fitting bras I think I've ever had. 34 D. Who knew? I didn't. D seems so large. I think one of them is actually a 34 DD, but that's just that weird bra. It's a shame you can't really do anything with old bras that don't fit anymore. I guess I could make slingshots out of them, but that would be of limited usefulness. |
