Blogger Blather

I don’t know what’s going on, but I have been in the best mood for the last week.

Maybe it has something to do with my current daily routine.

This is how my day breaks down: I get up around 8am and take my time getting dressed.  Head to the coffee shop for a couple of hours of internet/facebook/phonecalls/and general malingering.  Then lunch with a friend.  Then a nap or reading or both.  Then errands.  Then dinner with a friend.  Then watch a video and enjoy a glass(es) of wine and bed.

All is well with the world right now.  Just wish I could figure out how to get paid for this.

Me deliriously happy (or possibly drunk).

Things are pretty boring here in Baton Rouge, (which is a shocker, I’m sure) but here’s a quick update on the last week.

I haven’t had my hair cut since October (!!!) so I finally made it to see Laura, my B.R. stylist.  She gave me a really cute cut.  Check it out:

I know I need bangs (and a tan), but I’ve been brushing the hair off my face for so long that it won’t fall over my forehead anymore.  I wonder if they make bang extensions?  Hmmm… seriously, that might be something to look into.

In other news… this morning I had a delivery from 1-800-flowers.  I was sure the flowers weren’t for me because I don’t really have anything romantic going on right now.  In fact, I’m not even stalker-worthy at the moment; but, there they were, a beautiful bouquet of tulips that were, in fact, for me.  Pretty, huh?!

Anyone want to guess who they were from?  Anyone?  Well, they were from Hollis Gillespie (hahaha!) and the note said, “I think you deserve these.”  Gawd, I love that girl!

If anyone else thinks I deserve a random gift, email me and I’ll send you my address!

And finally, it’s not a blog post by Lynn without a new picture of the kitties!

Isn’t that sweet?  They’re napping on the floor in front of the picture window — soaking up the sun and keeping one eye on the neighborhood.

Sorry for my gloating, but I *finally* made it under 135lbs.

Damn, dieting sucks.

Goal weight is 132lbs, but I want to get down to 127lbs so I can have some fun gaining 5lbs back!

This is a pic from 2004 (I think).  I was with Hollis at a formal benefit she was speaking at.  This dress does still fit, but it’s a little tight.  Give me two more weeks and I’ll be able to slip into this sucker again with no problem.

After college, when I graduated from the Juniors Dept and started wearing Misses sizes I was a 6 — sometimes a size 4 during my super-skinny phases. Well, those days are long — looooooong gone.

As part of my continual evolution I decided to do a deep cleaning of my closet and right now the trunk of my car is packed full with things to bring to Goodwill.

I said goodbye to some items I really love, but even if I lost the weight, they are no longer “age appropriate.”  {insert heavy sigh here}

So, as a final goodbye, here is a pic of me wearing my beloved “June Cleaver” blue dress which is now on its way to a new (younger, skinnier) home.

I guess I should change out the photo at the top of my blog now, huh?   {insert another heavy sigh here}

Goodbye vintage Isaac Mizrahi pantsuit!  Goodbye black pencil skirt!  Goodbye short shorts!  Goodbye!  Goodbye!
