New Year. Whoo.
Blog kitt decided around 11:08 on 1 January 2006 to publish this:Ah, nothing like starting the new year wishing for a new lower GI tract, wondering what is going on with your abdomen, and hoping you could just throw up already to be done with all of this.
The year will go up from here, right?
NTS on clothing sizes
Blog Written with a loving hand by kitt some time around 17:42 on 31 December 2005Note to self on clothing sizes:
When the bathing suit retailer says 37" bust sizes should purchase a size 10, remember they're assuming a bigger rib cage (and not a 32" rib cage) and stick with the size 6 instead.
When the shirt retailer says 37" bust sizes should purchase a large shirt, listen to them.
The bathing suit will stretch over the breasts and look sexy. The shirt might stretch, but sexy?
Not so much.
Aha!

Thank you card coming up!
Notes to self
I so need to add a "notes to self" section. When I do, I'll add these notes:
Wine and Jam Photography, where JenO goes for family photography, all of which I've seen have been amazing.
Whole House Building Supply, a local company which coordinates salvages from complete home teardowns, where you can, for a fee, purchase and remove historical parts of houses before they're torn down. $5 gets you all the plants you can dig up.
When I'm ready to outsource some of my to-do list tasks, and can't find a summer assistant (oh, Kyle, Kevin and Brooke, where are you?), I can try India with either BrickWork Analyst and Your Man In India.
Having typed them up here, I can do a search and find it later. Much like using Google as a brain.
