underwear is expensive
I just spent $100 and it was a sale and I didn't get a lot:
2 singlet tops
1 bra
2 pairs of knickers
1 pair of board shorts.
Dear oh dear. That was my BDO ticket. And I really could do with more. Baggy falling off clothes is one thing (although I was unreasonably upset today when my favourite board shorts are definitely too big to wear) but baggy falling off underwear is another. Why is underwear so expensive?! And why are almost all the bras padded and/or synthetic and/or decorated with lace and flowery bright designs? Why don't they make more underwear that I like?
And I will have to take the board shorts back. It seems I have dropped two dress sizes, not one, unless they are doing funny things with dress sizing. I think I have only dropped one underwear size. So how does that work?

my list my list!
Thanks to span for reminding me about my 101 Things in 1001 Days list! I had forgotten. I must update it because things change.
I find it really hard thinking of goals/dreams I really want to do though. I have never really been career driven or had big dreams about doing big things. The things that have always mattered the most to me is a)the people I am with and b) learning stuff about me and the world and other people. It is not the sort of thing that easily translates into a list of 101 things I really really want to do. I mean, if I am happy and I have people around me whom I love and they are happy and I have the freedom and resources to do what takes my fancy I don't care all that much whether I do any of that list!
Anyway, at the moment being a housewife and just pottering around doing what I feel like appeals. Although "pottering around doing what I feel like" could include any number of things including consulting and travelling and research and creating. I am almost certain that I won't usually feel like doing housework. And I guess I am also very particular about where I would be happy being a housewife.
