For as important a garment as a bra is for a woman, we sure don't get the proper education on how to find the right one. It's always a trial and error, mostly error, process. It also doesn't help that when you find a good-fitting, flattering bra style, the manufacturer discontinues it. I wish there was a computer program written where you could input your measurements and hit a "find bra size" button and it would point you to your perfect bra. Sigh, no such luck. It makes it worse finding a proper bra because I'm a big gal that needs big bras. Most plus-sized bras are designed for fit women, but with more fabric or elastic. Those sure don't work or last very long. I'm still on a quest to find the "right" bra. Maybe I'll have to go to one of those specialty stores like I saw on the show "Starting Over" once where there are bra experts. Especially since I'd really like to invest in some different types of bras, such sports bras. I'll find you yet, Perfect Bra!

Tonight is the annual art show at my old school, Platt College. Some of my old friends should be there as well as most of the staff that I loved so dearly! I'm so glad I found a job this week because I was seriously contemplating not going if I was still unemployed. I didn't really want to answer the question of what I was doing now by saying, "Nothing, I'm unemployed." Especially if I happen to run into that guy that I shared an office with at my last job (he's still a student there). I have a job in the field now and as soon as I'm full time, all will be good.

Well, guess I'd better go get ready and go!

I didn't know that outdoor fire pits even existed until I went to that party at Laura's house last September when Colleen was in town. Laura's husband, Paul, installed theirs and he did a mighty fine job. It was so fun sitting around the fire on a chilly evening while chatting, roasting marshmallows and cooking weenies. I've been noticing lately that a lot of new homes are offering Outdoor Fireplaces as an option. I told Marcus that when we get this house of ours on land, we need to look into getting either one of those. I'd love to enjoy a nice soak in a hot tub to the glow of a fire.

I'm usually really good at remembering holidays and special events. This year, totally missed Marcus' and my 14th anniversary. Yep, we celebrate our "anniversary" on October 28th. It was the date in 1992 that Marcus and I officially became a couple (even though we had been seeing each other for almost 3 months). With everything else that has been going on recently, the date slipped my mind. In fact, all of October is kind of a blur. Anyway, I just wanted to say how lucky I am to have found him and also say:
