Everyone knows how important foundations are; to buildings, relationships and our bodies. They don’t call bras foundation garments for no reason and I am telling you there is NOTHING like a great foundation supporting the girls to make a woman feel better about herself and might I even go so far as to say “perky”!
Now it is a dreaded expedition…shopping for a new bra. We hold out as long as we can…things start swinging and sagging before we finally find a day when we are in the mood for bra shopping.
I am here to tell you ladies that if you have been despairing over your foundation situation then find your nearest Nordstrom’s…it is worth even an hour or more drive. They have bra fitting specialists and they make bra shopping a breeze. They measure and evaluate to see if you are wearing the proper size…most women are not. Then THEY go out into the overwhelming sea of choices and pull out several and bring them into the fitting room for you to try on.
If you can get over any shyness you might have of a stranger in the room with you while you change out the models they can quickly help you decide if the model you are trying is working and if not, why not. Then you are quickly onto the next one. If you find one that seems right but you need to go up or down a size she runs out there to bring back the proper one for you to try, she saves so very much time and aggravation.
How many times have you gone shopping by yourself and have had to get another size to try on but you have to get entirely dressed to go out to find the new sizes to try, not to mention wandering around in the sea of racks trying to remember where you got the style in the first place.
Men have no idea what an ordeal bra shopping is…it isn’t like sitting behind the wheel, looking under the hood and going for a spin. Bra shopping is car shopping times 10, plus getting half naked to boot.
Like everything today, once you find a model that works, in a year they have changed or retired your favorite fitting bra. Why! The bane of our existence…marketing and money…God forbid they should just change up the colors a bit, but no, no, no. They are onto different fabrics, constructions or colors and you have to start the process all over again!
Anyway, that is what I did yesterday and it took me all of half an hour to try on about 8-10 bras, find the ONE that got the girls back up where they belonged and after paying an astronomical amount of money I was out the door with my very little bag. So I am telling you again, Nordstroms!
Larry went with me, mostly out of habit…we were half way to Roseville before we both realized I could have gone without him…he he he. After I finished he and I walked around the Galleria Mall, neither of us have ever been in there. We have popped in and out of Macy’s or JCPenney, but with the fire and the holidays we decided to wait. It is large and very nice, some of my favorite stores are in the area being repaired though so dang…I’ll have to go back.
We went and did some shopping at Costco…that place was crazy busy and then after having one of their wonderful hotdogs for lunch we headed back home. Our big excursion and we were only gone a few hours…nice. I am still adjusting to not having to drive over an hour to get to big shopping…such a joy. BUT we are still far enough away that I don’t want to be-bop to the stores every day…which Larry is eternally thankful for.
Today is sunny with a teeny breeze, but the fog has stayed over the hill so far.
Oh, last night’s sunset was stunning, I wish I had been on a hilltop somewhere to see it because at the same time the sun was sinking far away the full moon was rising in the other direction. The western horizon was still painted glorious reds and oranges when I walked through a room on the other side of the house and noticed light out on the deck…from the moon, so very pretty!
So, today I did the usual chores, laundry etc. and then I baked yummy chocolate peanut butter chip cookies…from scratch. I love this kitchen! Easy to work in, everything is easy to get to and I am enjoying cooking more.
