Week 41.2 & 41.3: Travels

As I have mentioned, Doug and I spent the remainder of last week in Boston, Cambridge, and several airports along the way.  It was a fun trip, Cambridge is gorgeous, and I think our auditions went okay, but I’m rather exhausted and jet-lagged now!  So, in lieu of a lengthy write-up, I present you my…

Week 33.2: A Christmas Extention

Current Weight: 138.6 lbs At Last Weigh-in: 139.2 lbs Starting Weight: 144 lbs Weight Loss to Date:  5.4 lbs Today, I went on a short and relatively easy (although absolutely gorgeous) hike with my parents and Doug before heading to my aunt and uncle’s house for Christmas, part 3.  We did the usual parking lot…

Week 33.1: Merry Christmas Eve!

Just taking a few photos as I wait for Doug to get back from Midnight Mass.  His service was actually at midnight, poor thing… my “Midnight” mass was at 11!  We’ll open our stocking stuffers when he gets back. Small red poinsettia: Icing Vintage peignoir and nightgown: 57th Street Antiques Mall Gold watch: Grandma Black…

Week 32.3: Early Mornings

The last few days have been a little hectic and I’ve been a little sleep-deprived.  Good thing I got today off to recoup before the Christmas Eve marathon of church services!  When we snapped these pictures, the weather was sunny and cooperative, but it’s back to pouring rain again today. Tiny red poinsettia clip: Icing…

Week 32.2: Wearing my heart (brooch) on my sleeve

…or actually, on my lapel: This brooch has been languishing in my jewelry box for years.  As you can tell, quite a few of the smaller silver rhinestones were missing, and, until just recently, so were several of the larger green ones!  I finally got around to replacing the missing green rhinestones some new ones…

Week 32.1: A Mall Outing

Christmas time is almost upon us!  The prospect of actually writing lengthy and interesting posts for the next few days is rather daunting, so you’ll have to settle for mostly pictures instead.  That’s what you’re here for anyway, right?  Right.  Moving on… Earlier this week, Doug and I made a little outing to our local…

Week 30.3: Black & Tan

Unfortunately, I refer to a color scheme and not to the ice cream sundae of the same name.  I could really go for the dessert version.  December is a busy busy month, so here is another entirely modern ensemble.  Well, modern-ish.   We waited a little too long to take pictures, so they’re a little…

Week 29.2: Seasonal Foliage

Hullo!  I do hope you’ll pardon the excessive quantity of indoor photos… it’s been a bit winter-y outside and I’ve been having trouble getting out to take pictures before evening descends. I’ve been very keen on making sure that my foliage matches the seasons properly, so I finally got around to assembling the giant poinsettia…

Week 29.1: Trees & Tinsel

Greetings!  I’ve somehow made it to Wednesday without doing an outfit first, so I must start this post off with the regular weight update: Current Weight: 140.4 lbs At Last Weigh-in: 140.8 lbs Starting Weight: 144 lbs Weight Loss to Date:  3.6 lbs As I mentioned, we got our Christmas tree put up last weekend!…

Week 27.1: A Birding Expotition

Current Weight: 140.8 lbs At Last Weigh-in: 141.4 lbs Starting Weight: 144 lbs Weight Loss to Date:  3.2 lbs Does this count as progress?  I vote yes… and the new strategy is making me feel a lot better and more energized.  Of course, today, as I type this, I think I’m coming down with a…
