Finding politics.

I had the opportunity to see once again the president on television. It was invigorating it was disturbing. I want to know, I need to know would be better, but I will take what I can get, why it is neccessary to keep the same amount of troops in iraq after the constitution is finished drafting and approved. How is it neccessary unless our government stands to gain more than just another allie. And if that is true are the lives lost to a ancient belief and growing disgust worth it. I know that I am not the first to voice a worry like this in this generation or the past, but it is voiced. What do you think?

losing weight and the people who make it a trial!

One of the greatest trials I have had to endure to date is the ever present weight in excess. After two children and numerous complications after each birth, who could blame my body for gaining a great deal of weight. Now that I am finaly finding stability my body is starting to shed the pounds. THis of course is a slow process, as those of you who know this personaly, but it is happening and I am feeling so much more like the me I used to be. Of course one of the grand side effects in losing those unwanted pounds is smaller boobs. How this process works is simple. The less fat on your body (at least for those of us who were small chested to begin with) the smaller your chest. Don't ask me why, it has something to do with hormones as well, and you guys who have experienced this can validate this, it effects both sexes. Since the small decline of cup size I new that the one place I needed to go to get an accurate reading of my new size would be Victoria Secret. I love this place, this is the store where I purchased not only my first real fitting bra, but my first little slinky bra, and being a 34B I was on top of the "I have on a sexy bra and you don't know it" world. So yesterday I went there hoping to find out what size I am and if small enough get a new VS Bra. So what happens when I walk into the store, all of the sales reps are busy. Hey, no big deal! So I looked around to see how high in size they went and figured I might have a chance. When one rep was no longer busy she took one look at me and turned the other way. All I could think was how dare you. I am a customer who wants to buy a bra and you look the other way. Well I figured that maybe she didn't see me so I went a head and got a bra to try on. And Eureeka I found one that fit much better than any other bra I had tried in the last 5 days. So I found one that fit the best in a style that was flatering and went out to find my new bra. But, what do you know, I couldn''t find one in a color or size I needed. So I kept looking in the same style and I saw that another sales rep was free. Now I know for sure she saw me and she turned around and started paying attention to a slinkier blonder version of me. Am I weary of my size, yes. Am I not as forthcoming when it comes to the unmentionables, Yes, Most definetlely. But when you have a customer who is rifling through drawers in an underwear store that usually cries out,"I can't find what I am looking for help me." I FELT DISCRIMINATED AGAINST FOR MY SIZE. I am of course really not that big. A size 18. Of course my height helps distribute the fat so it has gone all over. But it was uncalled for. WHat made it worse is that one of the sales reps that turned around when she saw me, was pretty dang close to my size. Talk about rude and hypocritical!!!
