depressing news in my hotmail in-box

No, it's not the swine flu.

Apparently, I am an old, old woman.  Practically senior.

 

weekend weigh-in

I totally weighed 189 for about 30 seconds on Friday morning, but alas, the last two days I've been back up to 190. 

 

And you know?  This week is not going to be the week to lose 2-3 pounds. 

I am flying to Philadelphia on Tuesday morning. And somehow, my husband scored himself a ticket to the Bruce Springsteen concert in Philly on Tuesday night, so guess what?! Peter and Will are driving themselves down to Philadelphia on Tuesday too. They offered me a ride, but I think I'm going to stick with my first class US Air seat on the 7:10am flight, thankyouverymuch.

So, I'll have Will with me on Tuesday night at like 4:00pm while Peter goes out on the town, rocking out wth all the other old people, and I'm going to work a light day on Wednesday and hang out wth them, and then they leave on Thursday so I'll have a day to recover from non-stop water ice and cheesesteaks with my boys before Girly Weekend 2009 starts on Friday afternoon.

So next weekend prepare yourselves for a weekend weigh-in of about 190.

This is from Orlando, back in February.

 

We had a great time.  And I totally needed need a new bra.  Holy boobage, am I right?

happiness on a friday...

...includes the following:

Oh, hai little tiny kidney stone!  Thanks for passing so quickly.

 

(dime included for sizing estimates.  Tiny, for sure, but ouch)

And special packages from Mr. Mailman:

 

Kate Spade flats in size 9, won on eBay last week.  Fifteen dollars, bitches!  I have the matching bag, too.

And being shown some love from my friend Chris Smith.  He's awesome, I'm awesome, Greg Fornasiero is awesome.

Kisses to you all, except Peter Lopes who is being mean to me today.  Apparently I am a bitch!  Who knew?

more tweeds

As if you needed more proof that I am losing it, I just bid on and won an eBay auction for a 1989 Tweeds catalog. 

 

Now, maybe I can learn to sew and make my own Tweeds clothes.  if TJ Maxx lets me down, that is.

I also was browsing around and I think the Sundance catalog offers a lot of Tweeds-like items on-line.

 

This looks like Tweeds, in my opinion.

 

And this

 

And this.

When the catalog comes ($4.99 + $3.50 shipping, bitches!) I might just scan and post it.

friday kid photo, on sunday

Will was off from school all week, and while I was home with him on Monday I did have to go to Philly for work on Monday night through Thursday night.

On Friday, we planned a trip to the zoo.  Along with everyone else in Buffalo, it seems.  It was quite literally a zoo.  We circled the area for a good 15 minutes, found no parking spots and decided to go to the Science Museum instead.

 

Will got bored after like, 20 minutes.

weekend weigh-in

 

I lost one pound this week.  I'm now down a total of 65 pounds.  Can I lose 25 more in the next seven weeks?  Nope.

I can probably do 10-15 if I really buckle down and focus.  AND STOP WITH THE CHIPS.  Jesus, I don't think I ate this many chips before my surgery, not sure why I am craving chips all the damn time.

tweeds

Remember Tweeds?

They were like J Crew, but nicer.  I wore a lot of Tweeds in college and the early '90's.  I loved Tweeds. 

 

This is a Tweeds sweater.  I'm totally drinking underage here.

 

Some sorority thingie.  Tweeds, head to toe.

 

Wow, more Tweeds.  I must have had that cardigan in six different colors.

 

Here's a Tweeds jacket.  So not warm enough for skiing and apparently in a men's size XL. 

But, hey!  Guess what!  Tweeds is now for sale again...at T J Maxx.

 

I scored a sweet Tweeds linen jacket last week for 25 bucks.

 

But now I'm down to a size L.

weekend weigh-in

I lost a pound last week, and I'm the same this week.  191.  Once I get out of the 190's I'll be pretty happy.  My goal for next week is 189.

The Easter Egg Coloring Fiesta of 2009.  See 2008 here.

 

Here, you see Will actually eating a hard-boiled egg, seconds before he decided he did not like it and spit it out onto the counter.
