That tingling feeling...

What's a person to do when nothing will ease the frustration ? When you've tried everything to calm down, to no avail ? Some people would go for a long car ride ; some would hit the nearest bar. Some would hop in the first supermarket they find and buy that gigantic bucket of double-chocolate Godiva ice cream...



Me ? I go bra shopping. You heard me right !! I go bra shopping. And that, let me tell you, will make me feel all warm inside again. I can already hear some people scream WTF ??? I guess only people with my kind of breast would hysterically agree and smile at the idea.



Why ?



See, I had some breast surgeries a couple of years ago that made my breast, well, look like anything but breasts. They are now square-ish, with thick and long scars that show through light fabric... Oh ! and the underwire and the cup size (wich are two different things, believe me !) do not match. Delightfull...



I'm getting sidetrack... The shopping part !!



The main goal is to find the least experienced sales person ; the one that is usually the most eager and enthusiatic about helping you out. I then explain what I'm looking for and let her do the searching... and the searching... and some more. After a while, it becomes THE obsession. SHE.WILL.FIND.ONE.THAT.FITS... But no. There are only two models that exist (for my fit) and they definitely don't sell them around here.



But seeing her with that quiet frustration look makes me feel all tingly again...



And yep, I did just that over lunch time today. I'll definitely skip that store for a while... But I feel much better now !!




'How about you ? What gives you that warm feeling again ??

My new favorite commercial...

A painfull reminder on why young girls such as my 8 years old niece, think they are fat and look pregnant because of a little belly...



They should be playing with dolls instead of worrying about weight issues.

I guess only quebequers or people that know me will relate to this but here's a conversation I had with my dad this morning, on MSN...

Pa says : Listen, I just received the Sweet People CD collection ; 25 cds !!! I'm doing some MP3... would you like a copy ?


JATP says : Sweet People ?? Hum... no


Pa says : You sure ? 'cause I really don't mind !!


JATP says : I'm positive : NO.. but thanks


Pa says : OK then, your lost !!


JATP says : I'm sure...

About flashlights...

For those of you who remember The Flashlight Incident





I was shopping with my nephew the other day when he asked, in that high pitch / really loud voice : You are buying batteries ? AGAIN ?? But you don't even have toys !!!!





Lots of people laughing in that store. Lots. A little guy that didn't think it was that funny and a really red faced aunt.





No wonder I drink so much...






**Edit : While in the nephew related topic...


He discovered a new favorite snack this weekend : Dog treats. I kid you not, that 6 years old kid think they're the new best thing. And yes, he is aware that those are intended for actual dogs. And no, his mother won't let him eat them. Gross !

That pink ribbon that should not exist...

Have you noticed the new background ? It says it all...
