    I have way too much lingerie.  I have a whole drawer of bras, one of underwear (mostly thongs -- think about how little space they take) and one of cute flirty nighties.  I will never run out of clean underwear.

    I confess that I don't wash my bras often.  But boobs don't sweat, so I'm not sure why I'd need to wash them more than I do.

    I wish I more into lingerie.  Like, real lingerie, not just underwear.  I own...one thing?  And I've worn it once?  I always feel super awkward in lingerie.

    Mica - I hate washing my bras because I feel like they are never shaped the right way again.

    I rarely wash my bras, Mica. I have a really specific way I like to air dry them to keep the cups all properly shaped. No shame in that.

    Wait, they're supposed to protect you in a fire, but you dispose of them by burning them?  I'm sorry, but I just don't understand.  I feel like an ass.  I can see why you'd enjoy wearing non-sacred underwear.

    I have two shameful confessions. Since I've put on so much weight, I've pretty much given up on looking nice. I didn't wear makeup, shave my legs, or put much effort into wearing anything other than jeans and a hoodie. It was hard to realize just how far I'd let myself go.

    The other day, I sort of had my come-to-Jesus moment. I realized that I can either look like a fat slob, or I can look like a fat, well-dressed woman. For the past four days, I've been wearing much nicer clothes, I've done my hair each day, and I'm wearing makeup. My legs are shaved. People are being nicer to me.

    For the second one, I completely forgot about my take-home midterm from last week. I was so caught up in the stuff with my mom. Not only did I not go to the class to turn it in, but I didn't even do it. The highest grade I can get now is a C.

    This is fascinating.  So dumb question, but do you wear underwear under this too?  If not, it doesn't seem like it would be all that supportive.  And wow I can only imagine how hot this would get.  Eek!

    FI loves lingerie and he's always bugging me to buy some, but I see it as such a waste of money. You wear it for like 5 minutes and then it's on the floor... I'd rather save my money.

    This is me. I also have to buy VS thongs when they are 7 for 25. I have to much underwear but if there is a sale I always feel like I could use a few more.

    I wear thongs for everything. My friends think it is weird to wear them when you workout, but I only wear full-butted (my weird terminology) underwear to bed.

    So, the magic undrpants are actually called "temple garments" or just "garments".  They are a physical representation of a Mormon's covenant with god.  They are sort of a shield, if you will, between the body and the filthy world.  They have symbols on them that are meant to remind the wearer of their relationship with God.

    Oh, and since I've been this heavy, I've been buying Hanes underpants--the kind that come in an eight-pack. Last time, I bought the wrong size, which I didn't realize until I'd already washed them. 

    Part of me wants to keep them, since I have been losing some weight. The other part of me says, "Dude. They're like $5. Get rid of them."

    I heard a crazy story about a guy converting to Mormonism this weekend.  He tried being honest when he met with the elders, and they TOLD HIM TO LIE (about drinking, premarital sex and any questions or doubts he had about the Book of Mormon) so that they could accept him into the church.  Um, what?  So now he's a wine drinking Mormon whose in laws are happy on paper.

    special, I totally feel you there. My first assignment of this semester that I just finished (that is a horrible sentence) was due at 8 am Monday morning. All my other assignments were due at midnight, so I thought that was too. I logged on after school to complete it and saw 3 zeroes :( I actually ended up with a B, but I wanted an A to keep up my GPA.

    My shameful confession is that I know my dad didn't know better/think much of it, but I'm really ill he gave my cell phone number to a parent of one of my student's (students?).
