apparently!
And yes, I am a bit surprised by that...and yet also ok with it .
I am surprised because when I look down.....well, they don't seem to be a big as I expected! That's not to say the aren't significantly bigger than I was two months ago...but...they are also significantly smaller than they were a year ago and so once again I am kind of floating in the no-woman's land of "I have no idea what will happen but I am trusting it will be ok".....honestly.. hate that place...I don't even want to see a road sign pointing towards it in my future....*sigh* and yet ..it is where I am and will be for then next few months until I get the real fake ones.
Because...and this is just one more thing they don't tell you up front...I don't know why..but..anyway, that apparently the expander boobs do not look anything like the real fake ones! And..I have to hope they are right because..well...lets just say right now it kinda looks like I am always lying down....they aren't as......out in front as one would think for "perky" boobs! Now I was told this is due to the fact that this implant has no defined shape, it's just the "workhorse" to do the stretching! And... in the long run, that is a good thing and all but ....have I mentioned I am not a patient person by nature....and I am really tired of waiting this year....is driving me crazy!
So I went in for my fill on Friday and one of my questions was do I have to wear a bra? No--Hooray, because ..well..just hooray:D and the second was how will we know when I am "full"?
B/c I have no idea obviously and she said she knew, and then looked at me with a very critical eye and said,"I think you will be actually."
She filled the 60 ccs on each side and then said, "Yep..a nice C, right?"
I nodded and she said, "Ok we'll see you in a month to make sure and we also want it to be a tight fit...even have to stretch a tiny bit with the real fake ones vs. being over stretched so I think you will be just right!"
And then she left. And the more I have thought about it..that makes excellent sense and everything will fall differently with the different shape,.. so ok. But hmmm...I'm done...seems weird and...makes me realize I need to do more exercise on the mid section...*sigh*
And ..I am so ready for March...and spring, even though it is still three weeks away....just tired of cold with no snow..its no fun that way!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend:)

Always
Came out with a saying a couple of years ago,
"Have a happy period, always!"
I thought they were insane.
I boycotted them, really I did.
I was incensed at the idea that someone in management was so deluded as to think that having your period was a happy event.....what, pardon me wonderful men who read this but, idiot guy came up with that and what other one approved it.....that was my line of thought...then.
I have to say I have changed in that line of thinking.
Since my body could have been fast-forwarded this past summer and it wasn't...indeed, it is a happy period!
Ironically, they no longer have that on them....LOL- Sorry that was just something I realized and found quite funny in the hilarity of it all:)
In other areas of my life, my hair is freaking out. It curls in the back, waves on the top and is straight on the sides! Fun! But it was long enough that today when I came inside I was able to slide my sunglasses on top and they stayed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hooray-I am always with sunglasses and usually they are on my head when I am inside....they are my essential hair accessory and I missed them greatly this summer and fall, so it is soooo nice to being heading into spring and summer and knowing that they will stay- YAAAAAAAAAAAAY :)
I am losing tummy and gaining cup sizes...sorta, so it kinda looks as if it is just shifting upwards!!!!
And we have three weeks and three fillups until Spring Break...
not sure that we will make the C by then but we'll see.....LOL

Facebook has...
taken over my life!!!!
Just kidding...sort of-lol
It is amazing really. I got started over the summer because the food allergy group I belong to has a group on there and I thought , "hey, why not?" Whoah...I had no idea!
Actually, it has been wonderful. I have reconnected with so many people and just connected more with friends too. And by that I mean that I now know 25 random things about so many people my head might explode...but in a good way. It truly is a tool of the future and I love being connected this way.
I guess for me the funniest part is the explosion that is happening. Even though I am part of Gen X, this is really a Gen Y..or Z...or whatever they are, thing and yet I swear the biggest group of people joining as of late are us! But...here's the kicker for all my friends out there...in about ooooooohhhh 2 years when our kids hit middle school.....they will want to be on it, if they don't already and.....they won't want to be our friends!!!
Of course my children will have to be my friends AND give me their password so I can spy, hey, I'm just being honest, I'm gonna do it because there are scary people online these days and my girls are too precious for me not to be vigilant!
Anyway....for those of you who aren't on Facebook already...it really is fun and nice to connect with people and I promise even though it might seem a bit overwhelming you get the hang of it quick! Everyone else.....feel free to say hi there to me..if you know who I am :D
And just for the record..I went in today to fill again and all is going well. I am stretched thin at the moment but it too will pass!
Hope you all are well and have a wonderful weekend.

Another day
Actually as I have learned every day is a wonderful gift...even if its not the best of days.
But...I have had an interesting week...on the ups;
-my hair in front is finally going down like bangs instead of straight up like a 1950s crew cut on my dad!
-I am healthy(knock on wood)
-I had another fill-up today and except for the tightness, pressure and burning of the muscles at the moment I feel great:) Actually, all those are true statements but on K's relative pain scale they rank in the 1-2 area, so no worries:)
-I have visibly defined "girls"....kinda strange.....b/c they aren't as big as they used to be, but, there is definitely something there...somethings that never move...but they are very present...interesting indeed!
on the downs.....
-we came in tied for second at trivia last week after leading for a long time....and...the worst part is, the kiddo questions started our down slide...apparently we are not smarter than 3rd, 4th or 5th graders!!!!
So, as you can see the ups faaaaaaaaaaaar outweigh the down for this week, whew:)
Hope you all are well and have a wonderful valentines:)

PS-just to show I have hair:P A week or so ago the girls made tiny spikes all over my head with blond colored hair "concrete", so it is still brown and those blond highlights on the tips are not real..yet:P

What a day...
and its only 2:10!
Firstly, I went an got a fill up again to get me back on the Friday schedule and so I don't miss a week. Hmmmm....feeling VERY full. But it is all good, right?...a little muscle burn never hurt anyone:) and...I love...LOVE my plastic surgeon. She cracks me up:) Every time she sees me she says," Oh yeah, you so did the right thing waiting. And Dr. O did such a good job with what she left and...these are gonna be awesome!"
Now, first you have to love a Dr. that, praises your decision, then praises the other Dr. and then says that your boobs are gonna be awesome! LOL But truly...that is what you want in a plastic surgeon most of all, right? Complete and utter confidence in their work and how amazing it will look eventually! So that went well and we may even up to 100ccs at the next fill vs the 60ccs per side I have been doing.
Then I headed to my allergist because I have still had an earache even though I am feeling so much better and yes there is a buildup of fluids there and in my nose, not a surprise since I don't know that my nose has been clear since moving to STL over 30 years ago! So now I am on some stuff to clear that all up and I can't wait to be just ok.....ahhhh...ok.....a dream I have:)
Oh and one little thing...totally off subject but I must put it out there...tonight is the trivia night for the girl's school and I am totally psyched! Our table won last year and we have 6 of the people returning....and not that anyone but us 6....maybe only 4 of those, even care...but we are going to win tonight......it's my mission...and if you know me at all...you may have realized I am a bit stubborn and so this mission.....well..bring it trivia committee:P
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
I will be stretching and deep breathing...and winning trivia:D

Classic Blunder
Not the most classic blunder of all time mind you.....ya know....starting a land war...in Asia..... lol :D (it's from a movie...not a political jab....per se)
But none the less something that is painful any year and is especially so this year......I bought a swim suit!
You may be saying now K....why? why? why?
To which my response is this....having worked for years(7) in a store that originated as a swimsuit shop I have gotten it down to a science and every year previous to this one have ordered from a specific company, Venus, because they carry D and DD size tops and decent coverage bikini bottoms and I love my sun so I usually opt for the bikini. Anyway, if you do have that cleavage you know how limited the options are and frankly I am very picky color wise so I always order early. And also because we do spring break in Florida so I need it by the beginning of March.
So anyway.......altho I won't need the bigger sizes this year on top...which is kind of nice....I will need different coverage!!!!!!! I realized looking at the way the suits are cut this year that a deep V seems to be the trend and I just can't do that. I think there would be scar showing and although I'm not ashamed...it's not a conversation starter I want to broadcast at the beach and pool. Plus....I must be honest here...for soooooooooo many years I have had to wear a bra style with straps that I am kind of excited because the one style that would seem to do the trick on coverage is a bandeau top!!!!! Yes folks, that means no tan lines on my shoulders.....woohoo!
And...this is the best part...Venus happens to carry that style top that has a "flutter" front on it so it covers my tummy too!!!!!!! but its not tight like a tankini...it is the best flaw covering ever!!!!!!!
So I am kind of happy...and yet...when it came in the mail and I took it out.....and I looked down at what I have in the booby spot and what I want......I'm a little nervous that I don't have enough time by spring break to fill it out enough. I have realized looking at myself in the mirror these past few months that I have a wide upper torso and altho my boobs were big before, they suited me.....I am not going huge again.....I am just wondering how its gonna look and I can't project forward in my mind and its driving me crazy!
So....that's my classic spring blunder for the day.....
Hope you all are well and TGIF....thank goodness its Feb. I think Jan was the official worst month for me as far as days incapacitated due to one reason or another! So glad I'm movin' on.

PS..in case you couldn't figure it out b/c I tend to meander around when I write...the blunder was thinking of swimsuits at all...let alone while I'm still growing boobs!
