I had an official weigh-in at Curves tonight. You're supposed to do them every month, but I always put it off because I fear finding out I've actually gained weight. I'm very much one of those - if I don't know about bad news I can deny it until kingdom come - people, so I just avoid the truth whenever possible. :P I do monitor myself regularly ( Read more... )

Phew! My friend's emails really had me worried that it would be some overgrown keg party, but it turned out to be your very typical graduation party with family, neighbors, and parents' friends counted amongst the invites. So, while beer was certainly consumed with freedom (though not by me), I did not have to worry about interacting with people ( Read more... )

Thank goodness! I'm so looking forward to tomorrow (or today, technically). The dratted paper is finally finished. I emailed it to the appropriate people this morning, and have been catching up on all the work that I had to ignore these past two weeks to work on the paper. Next week, I'll be trying to clear off my desk in preparation for ( Read more... )

Tomorrow evening, my entire family descends upon me. Well, technically everybody but my dad. He'll join us on Saturday ( Read more... )

This past weekend, my mom and I ran around NoVa and tried on way too many dresses. At the end of the day, we made our decisions. And I must admit that part of it was because we were just tired of looking and trying on dresses.

This is the bridesmaid dress that my mom and I picked. The color will be celadon (on the color chart, it's the fourth ( Read more... )

Just as I was starting to feel good about my progress in weight loss - I was down 3 lbs. last week - I went and tried on more bridesmaid dresses with my mom this past weekend. *depressing* We revisited the yellow dress, but my mom didn't think it flattered me. *crushed* I really like that dress, but I know deep down that she's probably right ( Read more... )

My sister and I have been emailing back and forth about dresses we find online. Interestingly, we both separately stumbled upon the same designers and same website so I guess that was a good foot to start on. Except we never really could agree on a dress, so finally my sister told me I'd just have to go see them in a store if I could because she ( Read more... )

I'm off to look at bridesmaid dresses this afternoon.

I'd much rather stay home and do nothing. But. Well. It must be done. And it's a long weekend so I've got Monday to laze around.

I've managed to suck one of my friends in to go with me. >:)

Thursday, 12/22: Drove home. We went to a potluck dinner that night where I was approached by one of my mother's friends who said, "I hear you have good news for next year!" I looked frantically at my brother and he looked just as confused as me. Did this woman know something I didn't know? That's when we figured out she'd mistaken me for my ( Read more... )

Guess what my wonderful brother got me for my birthday/Christmas present????? *kisses bro* Okay, not really, as we're not a kissing family and if I ever did try and kiss him he'd probably run in the opposite direction and I'd never see him again. We're splitting the cost of one for my sister's Christmas present as well. Now I'm wondering what ( Read more... )
