Shop Barbara – designer bras, panties and clothing

by

I’m sure that I don’t have to tell the women reading this post how important it is to wear a bra that not only fits well, but feels comfortable too. For me the two go hand in hand. If a bra doesn’t fit properly it’s not going to be the least bit comfortable after a few hours of wear.

The other benefit of having a bra that fits properly is that it will ensure that your blouses, shirts and dresses fit well too.

There’s a large selection of designer bras at Shop Barbara. They have a variety of styles ranging from clear strap to fully coverage, lace, plunge, push up, semi and demi cup, strapless, unlined underwire bras and wireless. Designer brand names that you might recognize are Wacoal Bras, Chantelle, Felina, Jezebel and Panache plus many more.

You can purchase matching panties to go with your new designer bra as well if you’d like.

One thing that I like about this site is that when you’ve found a bra that you are considering purchasing you can see photos of how it looks from the front, back and in detailed view.

There’s also a link to a page at the bottom of the site that says Fit & Care where you’ll find tips on how to select a bra style that will flatter your figure.

Along with a wide selection of Bras and Panties you’ll also find fashion clothing, sleepwear, shoes and accessories at Shop Barbara.





Found a new Greek restaurant – Yum!

by

The other night we ordered Greek food from a new Greek restaurant in the area. OMG it was sooooo good!

Our favorite Greek restaurant to order from closed last year for renovations. They were closed for months. When they finally opened up again they no longer delivered or even did take out! What a pity.

We’d found another Greek restaurant to order take out food from, but it wasn’t as good as our previous favorite so we hadn’t had a Greek dinner that we’d truly enjoyed for quite a while.

Until Tuesday night that is.

Tuesday night we decided to order from the new Greek restaurant. We’d had a flyer/menu stuck in our door a few weeks ago. Chris had wanted to try the restaurant earlier this month, but I was hesitant. Since I was so busy doing work on the computer that night I finally gave in and said “sure lets give it a try”.

I’m so happy that I did say yes!

I think I was saying Mmmmm for most of the meal. Very unusual for me because I can be kind of picky about my food.

We ordered Saganaki, Spanakopita, a Greek salad all to share and then Chris ordered a gyro dinner for himself while I had the grilled lamb chops. The servings were quite large so we only ate half the food we ordered. This was good of course because you know we had some tasty leftovers last night. The other bonus is that this meal was at least $20 cheaper than what we would have paid at our former favorite Greek restaurant.

Mmmmmmmmmm

Now I’ve got to think of something for tonights dinner … hmmm … probably too soon to order out again, eh?

I once had an opportunity to go to Bali Indonesia

asiahotelsbellhop_lean.gif A few years ago one of my best friends from work asked me to go on holiday with her. As it turns out I was unable to go as that was just about the time that my Crohn’s was really starting to flare up. How I wish I’d gone!

I’d been invited to travel to Asia with her and two other friends. They ended up going to Thailand, Jakarta and Bali, plus several other small towns and villages in between.

My friend had known how much I wanted to go on the 3 week long vacation so whenever she managed to get to an Internet cafe she sent out emails filled with descriptions of the places they’d visited and the meals they’d eaten along the way. She also sent a few pictures too.

Of course all those detailed letters of her travels and the photos that she sent only made me want to go to Indonesia even more than ever.

I’ve even spent some time on the AsiaHotels.com website reading the Travelers Tales section where people who’ve stayed in hotels in Bali and elsewhere have enjoyed themselves so much that they’ve come back to the site to write about their travels. There are quite a few personal recommendations for various restaurants and tourist destinations.

The site also lists a large number of discount asian hotels. The prices are very reasonable and hotels seem to be very nice. I’m going to keep this site in mind just in case I ever get the opportunity to go to Asia in the future.

The Doctor is in the House!

by

Wasn’t House amazing tonight?

I love the constant bickering and back biting that goes on between Wilson and House. One kidnaps the others guitar so the other kidnaps a patient? What other show has that kind of humor going on while a medical mystery is trying to be solved? None!

As some of you know I started the WatchingHouse blog on the 451 network last November, but I gave that up and I’m no longer writing that blog. I found I couldn’t write a serious recap of the show and actually enjoy watching the program. I started to dislike watching House because I knew I always had to write up a summary after watching the show. Plus I had to make a post daily and with the show going on hiatus several times last year it was very hard to keep coming up with material.

So here I am writing about the show after watching it again eh? Well this isn’t a summary. Just an opinion. No pressure.

I still find that the medical facts on House suck. Lots of mistakes. More so than any other medical show that I watch. I was hoping that that would improve this year, but if the season opener is any hint as to what’s to come I’d say that there will still be plenty of medical mistakes.

So it looks like House will have a room full of potential team mates next week. That should be interesting. The preview looked like it will be a funny show.

I think it was true to form right down to three medical misdiagnoses before finally finding the real problem just in the nick of time. What – you didn’t notice that just about every show in the past has three guesses that end up being wrong before House or a team member finally figure out what is making their patient so sick? Uh huh – happens all the time. That’s the House formula and they’re sticking to it.

So what did you think of the season opener? Did you feel it was still true House even without his three team members from last year? or was it missing something?
