Are you KIDDING me?!



If I could eat a dress, it would be this. My friend Jessica is looking for a flower girl dress. I wish I had loads of cash and could buy this one for her, that is, if she liked it. But really, how could you NOT?! I can't tell you how something like this makes my day. So awesome. Oh, I need to give credit. Alice + Olivia’s new girls’ line—"After having a baby of her own, designer Stacey Bendet decided to turn her attention to the littlest of lovelies." She must have had a girl!

fave Oscar dress?

I would have to go with...I don't have one! Wish I could have my hair like Kate Winslet's and not look weird-she pulled it off! Okay, I've got one. Anne Hathaway-deelish. I LOVED how the paillettes (so?) got bigger as they went down. AWESOME! I'm wearing that at my Vegas vow renewal-yeah!

my stomach is so loud lately!

My stomach is making crazy noises lately. The latest paranoia it's caused is that it sounds like my son waking up from a nap. And it's me!

personal rehab

I am working on my addiction to new cosmetics. I am refusing to buy anything new before I've used or determined I'm never going to use what is currently in my cabinet. REALIZATION: I realized today that for some reason, household cleansers are as addicting as a new cosmetic. I'm not sure if you all can relate. But, buying a new household cleanser (like the scrubbing bubbles thing you hang in the shower and all of a sudden, you never have to clean it again, or the new pods or whatever you pop on the side of the toilet bowl-has anyone used either of these? Do they work?) holds the promise of a clean and lovely house with none of the work, much like cellulite cream or eye cream holds the promise of youth, without all the yucky process of growing up that goes with it. I fear, I must learn to live with a less than spotless home, and learn to love the wrinkles I've earned. (How did they ALL get her in the last year?)

Saw a recipe on Martha last week. Roasted chx breasts (bone in and skin on) on a bed of mushrooms and acorn squash...I'll let you know if and when it happens.

my life will never be the same

Did you know that you can microwave chicken? Funny how in one instance, with one little bit of knowledge, my view of the world has completely changed. It is somehow less stressful, a little more exciting, and the opportunities abound that much more. I KNOW-all because I can have shredded chicken for tacos or lettuce wraps that much faster, or cubed chicken for whatever a little easier. here's the deal: put salt and pepper on both sides, microwave boneless, skinless breast 6-8 minutes, turning half way through cook time. (I microwave 2 for 4 min., flip and then 4 minutes more) I never said I wasn't easy to please.

twitter

I am now on twitter! I added the widget to this blog. No one's calling me a grandma. :)

need fashion post?

I kept thinking of a bunch of fashion posts, and then never did it! For the SAG awards, it's that I would have picked Holly Hunter's dress. Then the Grammy's-can't remember. So, perhaps I will get on it, and make an Oscar post. Regarding fashion, I am now on a quest for workout wear. Let me know if you have recommendations.
