It's between the Samsung Instinct and the Blackberry Curve. Input?
Keep in mind that I'm on a contract with Sprint and cannot currently get an iPhone without significant penalties. I think the feature most important to me is web browsing.

A minimizer is a bra designed to make large breasts look smaller. Bare Necessities, an online underwear retailer who sells hundreds bra styles, features only four minimizers in my size (34F, 34FF, or 34G depending on the manufacturer.) Out of curiosity I ran a search for minizers in a 34 DD and found 19.
When I try to come up with a concluding statement to this point, I realize this kind of makes sense. Of course it's easier to make DDs look smaller than Gs. That doesn't change the fact that the G cup needs the minimizer more than the DD.
EDITED TO ADD: I did manage to buy three bras (non-minimizing) for $85. That's quite a coup when you're my size.

I was terrified of Mr. McGregor when I was a little squirt.
I hate the heat. Hate it. Don't want to run outside. So today I turned on my air conditioner and did 45 minutes of the aerobics and kickboxing moves that I've learned throughout 15 years of aerobics classes, ballet classes, jazz dance classes and exercise videos. I pulled out my pulse rate monitor and noted that I stayed between about 120 and 170, which I think is comparable to a running workout. I might not be working my legs as well, but I'm getting a similar cardio workout. I'm going to force myself to run at least once a week, though, so I stay in semi-running condition for when it cools down and I like being outside again.
Then I stretched a bit.

As I mentioned, I'm organizing my pantry. I just found the collar from when Sheridan had his surgery in there. I don't remember keeping it, but I probably did it because I was charged $25 for that collar.
I threw it out, but I still say that when you buy $1,000 worth of cat surgery, the vet should comp you the collar.

Because if I did it more often than once every year and a half, I wouldn't have two open packages of rice noodles in there. Nor would I have bought refried beans 2 weeks ago when I already had a can hidden on the bottom shelf.

I'm watching live TV which means I'm looking at commercials. That doesn't much happen anymore.
I have a question for the Smirnoff people. What about putting vodka in lemonade makes it Tuscan? Seems to me it would make it Muscovian.

This humidity is kicking my ass and making training really hard.

When you decide against going out today because showering and dressing is too daunting a task.
1. People still making "jokes" about how Michael Jackson was really white. Not because he's dead but because a) old joke is REALLY old and b) old joke was never very funny.
2. People who comment on news items just to grind their ax about something TOTALLY UNRELATED to the news item. Like that loser at NPR who saw an article about black churches and gay marriage as an excuse to bitch about Sonia Sotomayor being racist. WTF?

Too humid and blecchy to run outside but I'm badly in need of cardio, so I did the warm-up and circuits 1 and 3 of Hemalaaya's Beautiful Belly, a Bollywood dance workout DVD. Those 3 segments totaled 30 minutes. Then:

I curse the youth and narrowly-defined-beauty obsessed entertainment industry that's kept Jane Lynch from becoming a bigger star. Because goddamn she's funny.
I forgot what a colossal mess I make when I'm home all day. It seems like I spend half my time just cleaning up after myself.
Also, I let my sleeping patterns go all to hell when I have no obligations. I went to bed at 1 this morning, slept 'til around 11:30, then napped from about 5:30 to 7:30. And the way I feel right now, I'll probably be up all night.

I wonder how rapper Flo Rida would feel about my just now realizing he's a dude and not a girl? FFS, his first name is FLO. As in short for Florence.
