Excellent update, Lauren! How fun that you shopped for free at your Mom's house and now have some smaller sizes to wear. And although it's disappointing about the bra line from LB, you will soon discover so many other styles and kinds of bras and that will be fun! I find that Kohl's has a HUGE selection of bras, all different styles. Some of my favorite bras actually come from Target. They carry the Gilligan O'Malley line and they are nice and inexpensive. Just think of all the fun discoveries you have in store for you! Have a great Sunday.

I don't know if Target or Kohl's carrys the larger cup sizes, but will definatley check it out.  I'm SO looking forward to spending less on bras.  But I can only complain so much, up until a couple years ago, I could only find my size online, as least you can buy larger sizes in the stores now.  :)

Kohl's definitely carries large sizes. One of my favorite lines is Olga 4-way comfort. They are so very comfortable and beautiful as well.

Good am Lauren, Sounds like you got some great things! Good for you! Bras are tricky lil' buggers for sure. You will keep changing in this area. I went from 50 DD done to 38/40 C depending on the style and that will change again in late summer if things go well with reconstructive surgery planning and execution. If you don't know you will NOW Stephen King is tied for first place as my all time favorite writers EVER! I LOVE the Green Mile and almost all his writings and Frank Darabont who directed the Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption and most recently The Mist is phenomenal!!! Anyhow, hope you are enjoying your Sunday! Hugs.................

I love Stephen King, although I'm not as dedicated as I could be.  Mainly, I've read what hand me down books I've gotten from my dad.  I try and make a point to read books prior to seeing movie version, but have never read The Green Mile.  Actually, with movies coming out as fast as they do (from the theatre I mean) I haven't been able to keep up with that rule as much as I would like.  A great example of a book that was changed very much to movie form was "The Devil Wears Prada".  Both film and book were great, but the book was more realistic and gritty (obviously since it was based on her actual life), especially the end.  :) When I'm looking for a few new books to check out I'll have to get some suggestions from you since I also love reading and bookstores like you.  :)  Books-A-Million was my bookstore of choice for many many years, because their discount card didn't cost money.  But then once they started charging I just started going to the VA Center Barnes & Noble because it is closer to my work.  I've heard the Short Pump B&N is quite an attraction but have not been there yet. You, Sarah, Mary and I should do a bookstore night once in a while since we all share that interest.  We have to wait until next month though, so Mary can keep her goal of not shopping this month.  :)

Good am Lauren - I am the same with reading the books before seeing the movies. I love the meat & potatoes and movies put some spins on things that I dig but sometimes they are a turn off. Anyhow, the Green Mile first came out in chapter books then it was put out in a book as the whole thing. It is one of my favorites of his by far. Also, I enjoy him immensely as EVERY single book he's ever written overlaps with another book. Remind me sometime to bring my book and let you see what I'm talking about. I think you'll LOVE it! Characters overlap from book to book and they all play a role in his real life. That is paramount for me with a writer. I want similarities to reality but expansions on what we all think even if privately but don't say. Anyhow, The Devil Wears Prada is another good example and PS, I Love You is great as well. Some liberties were taken but overall honestly it was a great read and good movie. I would absolutely LOVE getting together and meeting say at the bookstore and having a bookstore night! Let's for sure plan it! Btw, the B&N in Short Pump is an experience and I like it to a degree. Hugs to you.............
