Day: 



So I totally didn't get everything on my list done last night. Oh bother.  I did get a crapton of laundry done and all of my dresses and a lot of the others articles of clothing that were strewn about hung up and/or put away.  The bedroom is looking better.  It's a process.  I'll get there. 


Today's dress is not super flattering with my extra pounds and it was kind of chilly today so I paired it with a short sleeved shirt underneath to hide some more skin. I also wore a cardigan. I think I may have added some bulk to the dress with the undershirt but I wore my coat most of the day so whatevs. 


I woke up a little earlier today but I was dragging my feet a lot, very tired lady.  I worked and then drove to King of Prussia to meet up with my oldest friend, Jen.  We had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate her birthday and then we shopped and chatted it up. It was lots of fun.  The evening certainly revolved around eyebrows as we visited Sephora for an eyebrow filler solution for her and then I got my eyebrows threaded at one of those weird mall stands.  We both couldn't stop staring at ourselves in mirrors.  Hers were way darker than she's used to and mine are much skinnier but we are both happy, just getting used to it.  Eyebrow threading is really weird.  I probably should not have just trusted some crazy lady in the mall with my eyebrows but it all happened so fast.   At first we were walking by the stand with a don't bother me attitude but then I realized it was a threading stand and stopped for a second to look at it. Before I knew it I was in the chair holding onto my eyelid and forehead, stretching the skin for a stranger to vigorously rub thread together and remove a ton of my eyebrow hairs.  It hurts but not more than waxing. It's definitely weird to be on display in the mall though.  I think I'd do it again.  I also think this blog has way too many accounts of hair removal!


I came home and watched the Phillies lose the series, so my friend Chad will be happy to not have to read anything about baseball in this blog anymore.  Good for him.  I am exhausted so until tomorrow's dress, goodnight.

Day Forty-six 10/13/2009

Dress: White Cherry Dress

Purchased From: A boutique in Kailua Kona, Hawaii

Year or Era Purchased: Summer 2000

Price: $30ish

Accessories: Black tights and boots, black cardigan

Hair and Makeup:  down and wavy, red lips, mascara

Comments/Compliments/Complaints: "oooh cherries" is what I think Michael said. 

Day: Oh man today was weird.  I am so glad I took off work today for recovering purposes because after being awake for about one and a half hours this morning we fell back asleep until noon.  Yikes.  We got up and headed to Dos Segundos for the Mexican food we'd been craving.  It was also our first day back on fake meat and I don't know what it was but we both got so full so fast that there is a ton of leftover food in our fridge right now and neither of us wanted food the rest of the day.  Weird.  We stopped off at the newly opened Milkcrate Cafe and had cappuccinos so we felt like we were still on vacation.  I'm so excited that they opened, not because I'm into records, that's cool too, but because I kind of hate Rocket Cat's pretentious ways.  

We came home and hung out with the cats and saw the yard squirrels, yay they're all alive and doing well and fought off taking naps.  We caught up on some television we'd missed, Always Sunny and Entourage and then headed out to see Kristin and go to Ignite at Johnny Brenda's, which was really cool five minute presentations set to slideshows with fifteen seconds per slide.  We are still sort of out of it and left during the 8 bit music intermission.  I think even after twelve hours of mismatched sleep we will be heading to bed soon and then back to work tomorrow, sigh.  

Today's dress is one of my cherry dresses, I have several but this one is the big winner with its giant cherries.  I bought it on a trip to Hawaii in 2000 at this super cute little boutique that had records on the wall as art and amazing clothing and accessories.  I can't remember what it was called or if it's still there but it was awesome. It was sort of chilly today and since I've been treated with really awesome weather it was a bit of a shock so I wore tights and boots and a sweater and then later in the night even a jacket.
