Tonight I did something I've been putting off for ages - I went bra shopping. I HATE bra shopping. It means 1-2 hours spent in a change room surrounded by packaging, hangers, and dozens of potential purchases. I hate it. I usually like shopping. Even for sports bras. But bra shopping? It seems so intimate, so revealing.
My initial reason for heading to Bayshore was the find something cute to wear to a bbq at Kru's place this weekend. But I entered at The Bay. Wrong move. I knew then that I couldn't avoid it. The dirty deed had to be done, and since I am too gimpy to train, tonight was the night to bra shop. If one can't do Muay Thai, obviously the alternative is to go shopping for supportive undergarments!!
After the whole circus and chaos of trying on dozens of the evil things, I went to pay at the cash. First, the concept of "customer service" was lost on this lady. Then, she asks me "Do you live near by?". The question stopped me short. Do I live near by? Why in the world would she ask that? Was it some sort of old-customer-service-lady pick-up line? Did she want to personally bring me more bras as a thank-you gift for shopping at The Bay? Turns out that usually on the weekends these items go on sale, and if I close by, it would be easy for me to stop by and receive a rebate for my purchases for the day. Whew!! No strange bra-lady will be stopping by my house and I didn't have to tell not-so-friendly cashier lady that I had a headache.

Gah, I can't recall if I blogged about the bathing suit shopping experience or not, but it was awful, believe me. I did end up with a nice sporty Nike suit that's actually quite cute. It's hard to find a suit that isn't too revealing that doesn't make me look like my Mom!
