it's been a fun weekend.
friday was the usual fiesta friday. this week's participants were myself and zuber [as always] and matt, zube's roommate. on the menu: steak tacos, on tortillas for the boys, in lettuce wraps for me. i made some of the best guacamole of my culinary career, which made dinner just that much more delicious.
my mom came down yesterday. we went shopping in the pissing, pouring, cold, icky rain. i'd made an appointment at david's bridal at 2:00. it was a mad house in there. they've just opened 2 david's bridals in canada [about time!] so i knew that not even a month in, and on a saturday afternoon, it would be pretty nutty. it was still a fun time tho. it was an entirely different experience from the one i had at david's bridal in michigan. this lady was all up in my business [after making sure it was okay!] making sure that everything was sitting right, looking right, feeling smooth, or poufy, or however it was meant to be. she didn't run around putting headpieces on me or accessorizing, tho i'm thinking that may have been to time constraints and too many people to step over or chase around to get this veil or that clip. it was nice tho. i felt like the centre of attention, which doesn't happen often, and which made me smile. i tried on several dresses, including my favourite from michigan. it may be the dress... tho it's still not #1 on my short list. my mom took pictures, so i could send them to lindsay. i really wish she'd been able to come shipping with me, but of course that's just not realistic.
mom and i had planned to go to roller derby last night, but it ended up being so cold and rainy and shitty out, that we just wanted to go home and bundle up on the couch, which is pretty much what we did. we went to swiss chalet for dinner, then came home, put on sweats, and vegged out to food network and toy story 3. my mom cried like a baby at the end, which gave me a strange satisfaction [thru my own tears] after she had previously mocked me for admitting that it made me weep the first time i saw it.
after a nice little breakfast, mom, josh and i went to the mall late this morning. i didn't buy much, but did manage to pick up a cute tank, some flip flops, plus a cheapie tank dress at h&m. i've never really bought clothes there because they don't fit me. this fits with room to breathe for sure. it's super casual, and will look cute with a belt, over leggings. yay.
we got home around 3, and my mom left for home, takingwith her mia's winter tires. i can finally put my back seats up, and truly appreciate my new, lovely, wonderfuly, pretty car.
oh, and it's sunday. which means "official" weigh-in day. you guys, i've lost 9.2 lbs! since last sunday! i know i won't continue to lose like this, long-term, especially when i start to add some carbs back next week, but i'm really proud of myself. another few pounds and maybe i'll be able to wear a pair of jeans i felt uncomfortably muffin-toppy in a few weeks ago. |
