Birthday Update
So we went to see The Devil Wears Prada yesterday and unlike my pal Brooke we all really enjoyed it. I will admit that I didn't read the book first and I'm not sure if Brooke has. I thought it was interesting that Brooke and C. thought that Andi was whiney, while Abner and I thought her boyfriend was. I also really enjoyed Meryl Streep's character. I didn't go into the movie with any great expectations, though, just to laugh. Like Andi, I don't take the fashion industry seriously, so I related to what her character went through. I recommed the movie. A couple of lines (paraphrasing here) I really liked were:
"I'm one stomach flu away from my goal weight." (I related to this one)
"Size 6 is the new 14." (I was horrified by this one)
On dinner, as predicted I did order Combo One. It was delicious and I still have half of it left over for tonight's dinner so I don't have to cook, which makes me happy. I have an appt tonight and won't get home till 6, and I hate eating too late.
My Mom gave me a lovely day planner with cherries on it + Nora Roberts's newest release and baked me a small cake. She also gave me an IOU for a gift of my choice when we go out shopping. She knows I have my eye on a professional ceramic flat iron my friend can get for me (she owns a beauty supply) on the cheep. The hubby ordered me a pair of fabulous stilettos I've had my eye on. A co-worker broought me a huge bouquet of flowers today.
I did pretty well all in all.
Current mood: ready for cake (Yes. That's a mood.) As soon as I punch back in from lunch, we're gonna eat it. Gotta go!

It's funny, since I've lost weight I've been going through the dresses in the closet that haven't fit for, uh, years.
And I found several size 8 dresses, they don't fit yet but some of the 10/12 stuff does.
The funny part is I don't ever remember feeling skinny and fabulous in these size eight dresses and yet, I suspect I looked pretty decent.
I vow this time to absolutely enjoy every second of my hard-won skinnier body.

Oh yes, hon. You should enjoy every minute of it. You've worked reallyhard for this and you deserve it.
Remember, I want pictures of you in Atlanta! I know you'll look fabulous. ;)
Man, WCS. I can totally relate. I have a closet full of clothes that are starting to fit again. I remember thinking (back then) that I could stand to lose a few pounds. Now I look at them and wonder what I was thinking!
I'm sure you look fabulous, Corrina~!
