cutting out the middle... boobs

susandennisI do so appreciate everything online. My health insurance, particularly. It's complicated and mysterious and expensive and it makes me crazy. But at least the details are readily available to me all the time which helps. This morning, I was greeted by this:
The good news is that it's June and I'm good until January 31, 2013. I can't believe after a lifetime of medical free living, I'm mashing it into a single year. Well, actually, it could be because I've enjoyed a lifetime of medical free living... (and 40 years of smoking) but still.
(I only had to pay $500 of this $2000. My boss set up an account to reimburse us the other $1,500. And, outside of the deductible, I still have to pay 20% for most all medical stuff.)

Swimsuits for fat girls have giant foam boob holders in them because, in all fairness, most fat girls have giant boobs. Me? I got the giant ass model with small boobs. So the first thing I do when I get a new suit is cut the giant boobs out. But my latest new suit is a really good one and because of the architecture, just cutting out the boobs is not a good long term solution.
I wore it yesterday, boobs in, and it just needs them out. It's like trying to swim with balloons strapped to your chest. I did not have a plan and decided I'd go to the fabric store and see what I could find to fix it.
This morning - about 3 am - I woke up and the solution slapped me in the face. I found an old sports bra - no foam, no wires and I'm going to cut out the foam and replace it with the sports bra. Genius! Then I went back to sleep. This morning I pulled out the needed materials and will get to it tonight.

Then while the sewing stuff is out, I'm going to patch up my hoodie. I have a gray french terry hoodie and a bunch of old t-shirts with great logos on them - stuff that means stuff to me. So I'm going to cut out the logos on the t-shirts and sew them onto the hoodie. I never wear the t-shirts any more and the hoodie needs pizzaz. Bam, marriage made in heaven.

The work that was supposed to be in my queue yesterday afternoon still isn't. So I'm just hangin' and waitin'
