Solong suckerssss!!!!!!!!!!

I hadn´t realised how much smaller I´ve gotten until I tried on a pair of underwear that I got from mom when she cleaned grandma´s closet. Err, that didn´t come out right. She had 4 bra that she had never used, they still had the tag on them. They are really cute. Pink, baby blue and black. Just what I needed. ;) When mom cleaned the closet last winter, she asked if I wanted to have some of grandma´s clothes that were practically new. I didn´t... The underwear was different. Anyway, there goes my old bras in the carbage! I nearly dropped a few tears when I realised they fit. I must´ve looked goofy smiling from ear to ear. It´s those little things that make this worth it. Like the other night I noticed the seatbelt wasn´t so tight anymore. Mom keeps telling me how much happier I seem to be. I would never ever go back to way I was before. Never.

I´ve tried to translate an article about empowerment for Tuesday´s finals. It´s not going too well. The writer has made so difficult sentences that I´m having problems to understand. "US consumer culture uses the very notion of individualism to increase the ability of individuals to be managed by creating illusions of market choice in a context of individual rights." And what the hell does "technologies of the self" mean exactly? I´d really really really appreciate it if someone could translate those to understandable English! :) I mean, I know what empowerment is...I think? But I don´t know what the hell this has to do with nursing. I mean empowerment could be explained a lot easier than this.

I was thinking. Does any of you remember Blue2go? She just disappeared. Was just wondering what happened to her...

Americans like to be individual in their style. No one wants to have the same purse or dress as a another woman. Appealing to the masses does not work, so marketers prey on our sense of individuality. For example, a cleaning product would be marketed as a way to keep our kids safe from e coli by showing a mother bringing in groceries and her kid touching raw meat. The mom grabs some disinfectant wipes, cleans up the mess and ta daaa!! A smiling happy healthy family.
It's all about making us feel like we are special. Does that help?

New bras are wonderful! I just bought two new ones myself - at a smaller size, mind you! I think my body is finally going somewhat back to normal after the pregnancy... 20 months ago. :\

I hate buying & wearing new bras--such a chore. And they never seem to fit right. Or look good.

I remember Blue--she was fabulous.
