I had plans to get a bunch of work done this afternoon, but then I got TRAPPED IN MY HOUSE! Ok, not really. I have a back door. But the front door knob wouldn't open! The deadbolt was fine but the bottom part didn't want to budge! I ended up having to call a locksmith! Sigh.

Timelies all!

The playdate may be rescheduled, since Gary has a cold.

I had to get a locksmith to help me get into my apartment because the doorknob wouldn't turn. My wrists simply weren't strong enough anymore. He cleaned it out for me.

There was just an article about people who eat the same thing for lunch every day -- for years on end, sometimes. I kind of identified with it.

From second through fourth grades I took the same lunch to school every day that they weren't scheduled to serve hamburgers.

In days of chaos, it's nice to rely on a lunch you know you like and isn't going to surprise you.

I tend to eat the same meal all the time until I get sick of it, and then I never eat it again. Since cutting carbs, I don't really have a fall back meal (pasta with butter or pasta with eggs). Right now I am really into low carb Kung pao chicken and beef. I might try pork and shrimp. For awhile it was cream cheese and sausage stuffed hot peppers. Before that steak salad. I was like this even before low carb with fancier meals, but I had go too easy things.

Also, where do you buy your underpants? I lost weight, but have been buying Lane Bryant for years. I like a high waisted brief that is tight and cotton, and I am now to small for LB. Hanes is not doing it for me- they bag weirdly, but if I get them smaller the leg holes are uncomfortable. Do I try me undies? Jockey?

I am also looking for a unicorn, which is a skirt suit where my waist/hips are in a 12 petite, my bust more a 16 , and my shoulders more a ten. I think I might just need to suck it up and either never wear a real suit, get a minimized bra, or make my own, because the idea of doing a shoulder alteration to accommodate my bust seems not like a thing I want to do.

I think my most comfortable cotton underwear is Joe Boxer brand. Trying on clothes that don't fit right is super annoying. I know my SIL is often wearing tops where the shoulders are too big to accommodate her bust. I should ask her if she has found any brand that works better.

I should send you my menu calendar, Sophia! I have recipes for everything listed too. Although I know lots of people that eat the same things repeatedly that way. I just enjoy trying new things and cooking.

Sophia, my favorite cotton underwear are Bali - not sure they still make what I have, but here is a page of options (not all are cotton) [link]

I would love your menu calendar! I like trying new things too, but somehow I try them, fall in love, and then eat them until I am sick of them!

I will check out Joe Boxer. I am sick of a saggy bottom.

I feel bad complaining about how clothes fit me when I have lost weight, but when I was heavier, my bust was more proportional, so easier to actually fit. I was a perfect 18 petite in Talbots and I was happy. I did not want to lose weight, but getting my blood sugar under control means it is a side effect and since I am a costume person, I feel like I need to be well-dressed. Now it is like my bust is the same size but the rest of me isn't and nothing is right except t-shirts/ turtlenecks and skirts

Also, thanks me belle- these seem great! I want to be all tucked in, and also have some breathing ability!
