Boys Beware (not that there re a lot of boys on my LJ...) Embarrassing TMI and underwear-related stuff:



First, I went to the Cincinnati Reds vs. Atlanta Braves game with my mom yesterday. Why, yes, I did take my post-chemo, 69-year-old mother with me out in the 110-degree heat to watch a ballgame and watch people being carted away left and right from heatstroke! She wanted to go! If it makes me look any better, we gave up on the sun by the second inning and snagged some abandoned seats along the first-base line, in the shade, and I was obsessive about keeping her well-watered.

Anyway, I had my little game-purse with me-- easy to carry-- and since I knew that time of the month was near, I'd put a pair of underwear and a feminine item in this small purse just in case something happened. Well, when I went to get my veggie dog with sauerkraut, I tried to pull out money and pulled out my turquoise satin underwear instead, dropping them on the ground and looking like a goofball at the concession stand. D'oh!

(By the way, I have horrrrrible cramps right now, eeeee...)

Then, bras! This morning, I was sitting in my garage with the door open, enjoying the sudden rain shower we were getting at last, at last, at last after two weeks of killer, rain-free heat and humidity, and of course one of my neighbors came over to chat at me about the rain and of course I wasn't wearing a bra under my t-shirt, because for some reason I wasn't. And I don't exactly have big, bouncy boobs but I have enough to make it obvious I wasn't wearing a bra. So! Before I go outside, I need to make sure I'm always wearing a bra, even if I do live alone.

Speaking of bras, BRA SALE AT VICTORIA'S SECRET! I got four bras in my hard-to-find size for $12.99 each. Seriously! Anyone who's shopped at Victoria's Secret knows that bras there normally cost $39 each. And so what if three of the bras have a lot of bright pink-- one is all bright pink, one is bright pink with bright pink lace and a little gold emblem, and one is camo-printed green and pink with pink lace-- they all make my cleavage look fabulous, as long as I'm not wearing white over them.

I hope everyone is having a great Sunday. :)



Oh, in other news, I have a Tumblr; I'm jedishampoo there also. But beware! I may use the tumblr for some griping, maybe, and for silly, squee-y fan-related, porny discussions and stuff. Not at all like this LJ, which is totally serious all the time.

Ugh, this heat! It's horrible, isn't it? Your underwear escapades sound amusing now, though I'm sure it was a bit embarrassing at the time. ;) You're too cute!

Thanks for the heads up on Vicky's sale! I'll go check them out. I actually went into a shop of theirs a few weeks ago and it was a miracle - I found something that fit me! It was from their "Pink" collection.

Adding you on Tumblr~ I'm exquisitus there, same as Twitter. ♥

Go Mom, what a brave gal, hitting that game in that heat - she deserves some kind of true fan love recognition prize from the Reds someday. I was supposed to go to a game for our local team (AAA farm team for the Orioles) but I wimped out - I was having tummy troubles, and that combined with the heat, I just couldn't deal. The heat index here that day was about 117.

You sound like me - I only wear bras when I absolutely have to these days, the ravages of gravity be damned! But it does make for some iffy situations when surprise guests show up. "Err, if you would excuse me for just a minute..." *dash off for bedroom, arms holding boobage to avoid obvious jiggle* They all bother my shoulders and neck and just irritate the hell out of me, plus none of mine fit me right at the moment because of the weight loss, and it seems pointless to buy a bunch of new ones until I settle out where I am going to (hopefully!) stay. Also, the damn things make me HOT - and I don't mean that in a good, Victoria's Secret, Frederick's of Hollywood, kind of way!

I absolutely refuse to buy anything at Victoria's Secret due to the following conversation:

Me: Ma'am, I can't seem to find any bras in my size.
Saleslady: What size are you?
Me: 42D
Saleslady: Oh, we don't sell that size anymore. If you want to buy a bra that big you'll have to go to Lane Bryant or something.

[EDIT]: Upon looking this up, apparently Victoria's Secret doesn't sell ANY 40+ bras AT ALL. So if you're a 40C, nope, 42D, nope. Apparently girls with big boobs aren't sexy enough for Victoria's Secret. The assholes. *shakes fist at*

I left, absolutely FURIOUS. 42D isn't really THAT big. It's not an UNUSUAL size by any stretch of the imagination. So why Victoria's Secret now refuses to sell it is BEYOND me.

Oh! By the way! When I get paid on Tuesday i'm just going to go ahead and send the damn boxes to you. I'll PM you with how much the shipping was. LOL.

Did you ever send me your address? I can't remember if you did!

Your TMIs are full of win. I never wear a bra when I'm alone, so when I suddenly stop being alone (someone comes unexpectedly) I have a very embarrasing moment because usually my nipples stand to attention to the point of them being able to poke an eye out of anyone; and my boobs aren't big, but in summer it's fairly obvious they're free and happy to see you, whoever you are.

People usually wonder at me and my roommate, because he's a guy and I'm a girl, but we're not dating. This means when I'm getting dressed or ready I occasionally wander around without a shirt on, but never without pants, and I draw the line about there. Once I was out of the shower in nothing but a towel and he stopped me to talk about something, to which my response was, 'uh, hello, naked, towel, go away.'

And another falls to Tumblr. I was thinking of getting one, but it seems a little intimidating, and a bit more social than I usually indulge.

In Australia bras are really expensive wherever you go, for me $39 sounds like a bargain in the first place.

I've had embarrassing undies dropping moments before as well XD worst was when i was in school writing something on the board in my nice WHITE pants XD well you can imagine where i am going im sure. hahaha XD

It sounds like the game was fun? Did your team win?

Even with my recent drop in bra size, Vicky's still doesn't have any thing big enough for me and my girls.
