October 29, 2006 -111 lbs.

It was a graveyard smash...     ~Bobby "Boris" Pickett

I normally never post on weekends. It is usually just impossible. However, my son is actually taking a nap! I have a million things I should be doing but I needed to be here more (for inspiration!). This weekend was, without a doubt, my worst eating weekend since surgery. I did not put a limit on ANYTHING I put in my mouth. And I feel terrible about it because I just did SO well on the B2B and I hate setbacks! Although I am too terrified to step on the scale to see the damage, I KNOW I have gained a few lbs (I can feel it and I am always right about these things). Believe you me, I am starting the B2B again tomorrow and continuing it (at least on week days) until I hit goal. Ugh...I am so disappointed in myself. 

Okay...that unpleasantness aside, I went out last night! Whoo hoo! The night started out HORRIBLY because my husband was a complete, raving sh*thead (we were late...not MY fault but he sure acted as though it was). He apologized over and over in the car and I only let it go because I really wanted to have a nice time. As you know, it has been a LONG while since I have gone out...and to a party, no less!

The party was held at a resort hotel in Rye, NY. Since it was a birthday/costume party and we left for the hotel while it was still daylight, my husband and I got some interesting looks along the way! I went as Elizabeth (sort of) and my husband was Jack Sparrow.

The party was a blast...and what an eclectic, interesting group of people (a published novelist and Jeopardy champion amongst them!). The birthday boy is the husband of my husband's co-worker. 99% of the attendees went to Yale! And with my husband an alumni of Columbia University, I was like, "PLEASE no one ask me where I went to college!" Hee hee! Seriously, though, the people were fascinating to talk to, the food was great (unfortunately!), there was a tarrot card reader and a magician and it was just a really great time! Here are some pictures of my costume...

The costume (Misses XL) actually came with pants but my husband hated them! Thankfully, I had just bought this skirt (the false size 8!!) from The Gap. It worked great with the costume...so much so that I think it looks like it came with the costume! It is a bummer I can't dress up for work...because I TOTALLY would! Hee hee. At least I will get to wear it again on Halloween night. I hope you all have a GREAT Halloween! Love and hugs!
