I have about thirty thousand bras now. It's an exaggeration, of course, but it's a whole heck of a lot more than four, which is what I had in rotation before the surgery.
Firstly, I got about $65 worth of Victoria's Secret gift cards. I hit the BIG SEMI ANNUAL CLUSTERFCUK of a sale on the opening day and went totally bitchcakes on some undergarments. Of course, they were mostly the wrong size as I was only about three weeks post-op then. I ended up exchanging them for the right size, which I found out when I visited the Rebecka Vaughn.
Secondly, I stopped at the Rebecka Vaughn for a real live fitting. Because the lady was so kind to get me all fitted n stuff (a process that involves shaking, pulling, and fondling by a stranger) I felt awful walking out of there empty handed so I ended up buying two bras.
Finally, my sister donated several to the cause. She recently got a real live fitting (see above) and found that sure enough, she was one of those women who'd been wearing the wrong size for YEARS. She cleans out her bra supply and passes them on just in case they fit, which they do. Mind you, my sister is a former VS employee so she really took advantage of that employee discount.
So I've cleaned out my dresser drawers to make room for the plethora of undergarments given unto me. I've got two dresser drawers full, and that's not including the ones in the wash right now.
Also, I've never experienced the padded push up. How interesting. I could take a bullet to the breast and never, ever know. it's amazing.

The Firklovin' has come and gone. It was delicious, many thanks to Paula.
Happy birthday Steph!

Ok. This is hilarious. I was just looking at my latest visitors and noticed that someone used the search term "norwegian chocolate" to get to my web site on 1/14. Hilarious because the VERY SAME DAY I googled "firklover" (a fantastic candy bar with a fantastic name to match) to find out what the word means and also find where I might get it other than the Norway pavillion at Walt Disney World.
Funny the things I find interesting.

Firstly, I have updated the link below to reflect the ACCURATE segment that my mom was in on Whad'ya Know.
Secondly, I had some obsessive compulsive fun today writing down every song I listened to today.

My mom was on Whad'ya Know! You can listen to it by clicking here if you have the Real player. Here is Michael Feldman interviewing her. She made him laugh.

Pirate Museum! I need to go!
Meerkat sanctuary! I need to go!
Vim is indeed waning fast. I think it's the lack of sleep?

My vim is starting to wane. Ugh. My sister tells me I'm not as much fun or as nice as I was when I was fat and she's right, I was a much nicer person when I was fat, and I also had a WAY higher self-opinion. Who knows. Maybe Wendy's combo #1 with a coke contains Gleemonex? Maybe I'm not happy with my wash? Anyway, the Year O' Prince continues on.
Hey, someone I went to high school with was on The Biggest Loser!
Anyway, here's some pictures:
Demoyne got a Leatherman tool for Christmas. Here is a picture of it where it looks like an animal. I say chicken, but you can make up your own mind:
I know dogs do this all the time but it cracks me up:

They love me at my workplace because I ROCK. My boss told me she was glad I was back, and she's not the sort to say such things unless she means it.

First day back at work. It was crazy but I did check out my medical record. Here's the stats:
95% adipose tissue, 5% fibrous
Left: 430 grams Right: 481 grams for a total of 2 lbs removed
200cc blood lost
And the plastic surgeon describes the result as "beautiful"

Today I braved Victoria's Secret's Semi-Annual Clusterfuck. As a 36F I never experienced this, but danged if it wasn't CRAZY. I was in that store for an hour and a half, the bulk of which was spent waiting in line. But, if there is no more swelling to go down, I am going to be totally hooked up in three weeks. And oh, please let the swelling be done with! Props to my homies who gave me giftcards!
Here is a picture of me in an old 40G. Suffice it to say it just doesn't fit anymore:
And here's a picture of me in the scarf I started in New Orleans. It's fan-f-in-tastic. Today at the yarn store I told someone that I was going to wear it until it rotted off:
In the spirit of picture sharing here's me with my cousin Sarah (she's the bride) and my sister at Sarah's wedding:
And finally, my lovely godchildren who now live in Cali:
Happy new year to you all. So I wasn't entirely lazy on this site. I left one of the Disney sections as is and rants also just because I wasn't sure if I'd finish them before I had to go back to work. Anyway, I decided to learn CSS for fun. I'm going back to work on Tuesday which will be an adjustment, that's for sure! Still, I had a lovely recovery period. I saw a lot of movies, finished three scarves (with two in production as we speak), and healed quite nicely. The holidays were good also.
My new year's goal is to listen to at least one Prince song every day. I'm leaving it open to interpretation, but I'll document it here.
Oh, and I rang in the new year braless! Mostly...I mean, the tank top did have a built in bra, but technically it wasn't a bra. you know what I mean? Sure you do. It looks like I'm a 36 or 38 C depending on the make of the bra. I can only wear the kind with no wires, which I'm fine with. It's amazing, the bra I'm wearing right now has only ONE hook in the back. Just you wait until I get a proper front fastening bra (this doesn't include the sports bras I wore during the healing process).
