Hi again
It has been some time since I have posted here. I am sorry. I have been a recluse and lazy and thinking over many things.
I would like to start by looking back at the first post “Resolutions” January 1st. It was in this post that I declared 3 resolutions for the year. How have I done? :
1) I resolve to be more girly. To wear makeup. Dress pretty. And be a lady. Resolution one.
2)Complete what I start. Resolution two.
3)So I want to eat and live healthier.
Ok 1, I have been making some progress here. Dress pretty. I have gotten some nice shirts and I actually changed my outlook on how I want to dress. For example I was very confident in my clothing choices as a teen. I knew what I wanted to wear and what I wanted to portray though it(The message I wanted to send out). “I am not afraid to be different, I don’t want to be limited by a stereo type.” And of course, “Dress to impress.” I got everything from whistles to “WTF’s.” But this year I have realized that most of my clothes are either from my freshmen year of highschool, hand-me-downs, or hand-me-downs that are older than I am. Also I have noticed that I don’t like the way some of my clothes look or fit on me. Since I lost weight some are just too big for me to wear, others make me feel like I look like a 5 year old. That’s good for the self-esteem LOL. As before I was eclectic, now I am starting to lean more toward elegant, but still retaining some girly quality. I want to keep the frill and puffy sleeves and cute accessories. I want to present myself well, so I can’t keep dressing like I am in highschool. So I am redoing my wardrobe, it might take awhile.
As far as make up goes, lol, yeah I am still a little afraid and unconfident about it. I don’t know enough about how to where it and what colors are good for me. Even worse I am not sure where to turn for information or advise. I found a foundation that looks great, several months ago, and have yet to go and get it. If anyone has any advise that would be great!
And be a lady, ..., not sure... I’ll get back to you on that one.
Now for 2, my room is so much cleaner. It isn’t done, but it is definitely getting there. I am even thinking of moving furniture around. As for projects I am at about the same crawl and I stopped keeping track.
And finally 3, yes I am doing ok in the eating department, it could use more improvement. I am still losing weight. And my living style is no better.

In other news I am going to the renaissance festival this weekend. Yipee! It is going to be great I have been saving up. I am so looking forward to going to Lady Dra’s to find more costume pieces. I got a shirt there last year that is beautiful. Whoot! I will give you a report of how it goes when I get back.

Ahh. Food. This is the time of year I do a lot of seasonal cooking. I actually haven’t been cooking like I like to. :( However I just finished cooking dinner.
Spaghetti noddles boiled in salt water(really brings out the flavor I swear)
Sauteed orange bell peppers and onions in butter(finely sliced)
Added salt, pepper, and tarragon to the sauteed vegetables
Then added some of the cooked noddles to the vegetable pan to soak up some of that veggie butter goodness. Num num. Well din din time now. I’ll probably get some WOW in tonight, too.
