Refreshing day with a bad dose of reality

Let me start out by saying… I AM SOOOO GLAD SPRING IS ALMOST HERE!! 

Today was gorgeous.  GOR.G.OUS.  It was almost 60 degrees (yeah, you southerners are probably running to grab the blankets hearing that temperature) but up here… after weeks and weeks and weeks of freezing weather… its wonderful. 

Maria and I went to Lansing to shop and reminisced about life SEVEN years ago… when I went to MSU and we were wild and free.  We ate at Georgio’s Pizza… THE best, and also had Cold Stone for dessert. YUM.  How did time fly by so quickly?  We walked around downtown near campus and all the "kids" we saw we just felt like they were our age… when really, gosh, they’re lots younger than us!  We’re getting so old. I said… "Soon we’ll be 40!" and Maria laughed.  But seriously… we’ve been friends for 16 years.  And that time went by in a blink of an eye… so in 16 more years… really… we’ll be 40!!  YIKES.

Shopping didn’t go so hot for either of us.  But it was so depressing for me.  SO depressing.  I can’t wait to be done having kids so I can get a boob lift.  Let me tell you… these babies are worn out and they weren’t even USED!  HAHA.  I tried on some cute sundresses at Old Navy, and while they were cute, I couldn’t wear them because I have to have such a full coverage bra for these 34 DD’s.  The top of the bra cup shows out of the top of the dress.  And tank tops. Maria suggested going bra-less… uh, sure, if I want to look like Mother Earth all in touch with nature and shit with my boobs hanging down to my belly button.  No can do.  So we hit up Victoria’s Secret, Maria was determined to find me a "less coverage" bra, and we did not succeed.  I tried on 34D’s thinking, hey, maybe I could go down a size… but I really can’t.  These boobs are mondo.  All from having that sweet little angel child of mine. 

See…before I was pregnant, yeah I was well endowed.  I think they were 34D’s, and that was fine.  I could wear cute bikinis, they were perky and, I guess, pretty nice.  And then I got pregnant, and they ballooned up to… to…. G’s!!  Have you ever seen G cup boobs on a 5’3" girl who is not all huge in stature?  Yeah, hilarious.  Lets just say the boobs were competing with the belly. 

After I stopped breastfeeding (the whole 3 minutes I did LOL), and my boobs finally returned to a somewhat "normal" state… they have decided 34DD’s are nice, and they like to hang low. 

"Do your boobs hang low? Do they wobble to and fro? Can you tie em in a knot?  Can you tie em in a bow?" 

Hell yeah I can. 

Its depressing that I can’t wear some lower cut things, because in order to contain the deflated, saggy over sized jugs, I have to wear a big ol bra.  And by the time we’re done having kids and I get my lift and tuck, I’ll be too old to even care about wearing the cute clothes I want to wear now.  Such a catch 22.  I don’t worry about the thunder thighs, the lumpy butt and the jello gut… I can tone that.  But how do you tone excess boob??

Shopping was unsuccessful.  Which WAS nice for my wallet, as I really didn’t need to spend money.  When I got home I packed up Porter and my jogging stroller, and we headed to Cascades to walk around the jogging trail.  I am so excited that its getting nicer out and we can start going on walks more often.  When P was little, we went to Cascades all the time to walk, and it was so nice.  I try to walk around our neighborhood, too, but something about getting away from home makes me more motivated… I guess I just feel like I have to make it worth it to drive to the park?  LOL.  Whenever I’m at home I seem to end up cutting my walks short.

Porter ran around a little bit, and he had a blast.  He loved watching all the cars ("TRUCKS!!") driving by.  I am going to try go to a few more times this week after work.  It was SO nice to get outside and walk!
