NSV -- Easter

In the past years I've never worried about what I was going to wear for family holidays.  If I was attending church I might give it some thought, but for the most part, I was just as likely to show up at family gatherings in jeans and an everyday t-shirt or top as I was to dress up, and dressing up meant finding something I already had in the closet that was a little nicer, and putting on makeup.

The past few days I've been mulling over what to wear for Easter, and not with the dread I used to suffer, but with a bit of excitement (hoping it's warm enough to wear one of my new short skirts and my new polka-dot blouse).

I can't even believe I'm typing the words "new short skirts" in terms of something to put on my body.

Dear Sleeve: I LOVE YOU.

That's awesome! I'm still gun shy about showing off my legs. I know I've come a long way from where I was, but in terms of showing what I've got...um...cellulite and such...yeah noooooooo. lol Way to go!!

I've never had boobs. I've never had a waistline. I'm kind of straight up and down with even a bit of potbelly (and was at 20 when I was thin).  But I've always had legs. Surprise! I still do!

See, I always had the boobs, the tiny waist, and badonkadonk. I had great legs in highschool, but after babies and poundage, yeah it isn't pretty. lol I'll still take where I'm at over where I was, though. lol

I'm jealous of your waist. That's what made me think I was fat when I was 5'7" and weighed 120 pounds--I somehow thought if I lost five pounds I'd have a waist. Television, movies and Barbie convinced me that a waist was EVERYTHING.  Yes, I wanted boobs, too, but honestly, given the choice, I'd have taken a waist.

The only bad thing about having a waist, even now, is my hip bones are HUGE. I've got them child bearing hips. So they stick out like I'm an Ethiopian, even though I have a bit more to lose. lol God forbid my hubby decides to slap me on the butt as I walk by. We're BOTH in pain by the end of it. haha I'm losing all of my boobs now. I'm putting money aside for a lift and implants. I never wanted implants, but I'm willing to make an exeption now.

LOL! I'm thinking about you and your hubby both in pain. And, ouch.

My bra is the same one I bought after I'd lost forty or so pounds. It has light foam padding which supported and shaped my boobs.

Now it is mostly hollow. But it holds the shape. So, I look great in clothes, like I have boobs, only I don't.  I haven't made it to a bra store yet, but eventually I'm going to go and buy padded bras that make me look like I do in this bra. Cheaper than implants, and I don't care how I look nekkid. My husband isn't a boob man. He's a leg man. (Fancy that!)

I have one, ONE, bra that still holds shape, and that is one I JUST bought. lol See my hubby is a TnA man. I could care less what he wants, but I'd like to be able to wear a bikini one day without having to worry about non boob sweat ruining my tissues that I use to stuff my top. hahaha

And I never plan to wear a bikini again in my lifetime, which is why I don't care.  Otherwise, yeah, I'd be standing in line for that surgery, too!

As I've said elsewhere, I have a certain amount of disposable income and very few things I'd be willing to go into debt for. And a trip to Europe vs a boob job? Europe, here I come!

Um, YES! Definitely Europe over boobs.
