Not much to report. I’ve been very busy at the workplace lately so I have not been computing in the evenings that much.

My friends K & K bought me a book for my birthday: I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence by Amy Sedaris. It’s a hoot and I’ve been reading that instead of mindlessly surfing as well. Amy Sedaris is the younger sister of bestselling author David Sedaris. I love David Sedaris’ work and now I’m also a fan of hers.

She better get cracking and write some new stuff as I’m bored and need new reading material. I am desperate for something interesting to read. I will have nothing after I get through the rest of my birthday presents.

Maybe I’ll read Suite Francaise again to get ready for book club — or maybe I’ll just lock myself in the bathroom, take some Lorazepam and experiment with some new hairstyles until I’m ready to go to bed. Both are equally likely.

Most women don’t wear the correct sized brassiere. Until this weekend, I was one of these women suffering in a spandex and lace torture device. But no longer. I’m now free!

Well, I’m actually considerably less free but this is a very good thing.

My friend D. (who is always well-supported) took me to her bra boutique for a special fitting. The bra fitting attendant (I wonder what their proper job title is?) felt my rib cage and took a quick look at my boobs and then came back with several bras for me to try on.

As it turns out, I was getting one part of my size right all along but it appears I was not very good at getting the second (and most important) measurement correct. I’m now pleased to report that I am no longer one of the women in need of an Oprah-style Bra Intervention.

I got several new bras but I’m especially delighted with my new Freya “Ines Underwire Balcony Bra.” That’s not me modeling. I mean, I’m delighted with my new purchases, but I think this post is probably TMI for my blog as it is.
