Learn something new every day
So I got up and went to that meeting today, the Prowers Country Development Inc group, which as I suppose you can imagine is an organization dedicated to helping our area prosper. The reason the Dems want me to infiltrate attend is so that we can increase our public visibility by finding out what hot projects are going on, and joining in. It was actually surprisingly interesting.
Except for the recurring distraction of my bra. See, I left getting ready to go until the last minute (big shocker there, eh?) and the bra I grabbed up was one with a little flaw in the edging material that is sewn to the soft, stretchy stuff. This particular bit was the inside of the right arm hole. When I put it on and started to secure it, what HAD been a little flaw suddenly became a BIG one. But I thought, "What the heck, it's not that big a deal and I'm going to be LATE...."
Except it turns out that the non-stretchy cotton edging tape is pretty much what makes the comfy, stretchy material do its job of, uh, containment. It happened to be very lucky that I also chose to wear a big, squashy, nubbly-yarned purple sweater. Because without the help of the edging strip, the whiny crybaby stretchy material just GAVE UP, and instead of clinging steadfastly to its job, started creeping sideways. First I had very limited support on the right. Then I had, basically, what probably would have looked like two half-breasts, or a large dinner roll, under my shirt if not for the faithful nubbly sweater. I ended wearing a bit of lingerie that would have been quite appropriate for the legendary Amazons....
I guess it's true, though, that any time you join a new group it takes a while to develop support.
