Confession:

When I spot a spider that is larger than half an inch including the legs, I hesitate before killing it because I fear it may remember me and get reincarnated into a murderer. So I usually say, "Sorry," right before I do it.

For the most part women have gotten the short end of the stick. Sure we have more rights now but I think it's harder to be a woman rather than a dude. Many people think it's mostly because of the whole period thing but let's not neglect the bra. At 13 or 14 everyone is getting training bras which is such a sham. As a sporty girl, felt like I should have it but didn't need it because I was a surfboard. Sports bra did nothing but add an extra layer of clothing and I already ran warm.

Then I get boobs and they are kinda annoying. Some bras don't have enough padding, some too much and it's like someone is trying to cop a feel all day. As you get older you are told by commercials to buy sexy bras with lace but they aren't really practical. Most shirts look lumpy with them. That's no good and a waste of 30+ dollars.

Now Victoria's Secret claims to have a bra that can be worn 12 or 16 different ways. I can only really think of 5 so I think they are reaching. I tried it on once and even wearing it one standard way wasn't comfortable. I didn't bother to try to figure it out after getting caught in the straps.

But a strapless one is good for dresses that you buy with low cuts in the back or strapless. You of course try in the store with your everyday tan bra that's like a boob bandaid and try to image it without the straps and think yeah this will work. Then if you are me you try on again at home and realize your strapless dress still won't work so then you try to do braless and of course its colder than expected and windy so you nip out and are super self conscious of the fact so you can't enjoy the event (not the new TV show) - instead you find creative ways to casually hide your boobs - arms crossing, wearing a coat, talking with hands - which turn out to not be casual at all...

See the things we STILL have to deal with?!

I hate to admit to being one of "those people" who is on the phone or texting but occasionally it happens. Not so much to make an actual phone call, it's more that I see things I find amusing and just HAVE to get a picture.

Case in point:


At first I thought it was an image of Webster but upon further inspection it was a cute little black girl. I'm not sure who should be more insulted.
