My weekend and NSV's.

Jan 26, 2009

There are some days I feel "normal" even though I don't think I look "normal." Is anyone else like that?

I went out Saturday night for dinner with my bf (OMG, do 38 year old widows call their SO's, "boyfriend?") and we met his mom and aunt.  I've met them before and when I excused myself to go to the ladies' room, I heard his mom say, "she so pretty and she looks great." That made part of my night.(NSV #1)

Following that, two of us went to a dueling piano bar (there are a lot of these popping up over the country, go if you can, they are a blast!) that he used to play at (he plays drums). I've never been a "club type person" and of course, that was because of the weight. I didn't want people to see the fat girl in a club. Maybe everyone's not like that, but that's me. I told him that I was nervous about going because of that and he says, "but you're not the fat girl anymore." (NSV #2)  We get to the club and we're talking to the owner and I started to feel "normal." I felt like I looked great  in a pair of black INC pants, pretty black top and 3" black pointy heels from Nine West (size 8!) and I was having a really good hair day.  As we're talking, the owner says to Stephen, "so when did you get married" and Stephen explains that we're not and the owner says, "but you  look like you're married, like you go together." I guess this was NSV #3 - practically since we started dating, people along the way think that we're married.  NSV #4 was being able to sit on a bar stool and cross my legs at the same time. That felt FAB!

I'm not much of drinker, but I had 2 cosmopolitan's over the course of four hours. I think they helped!!

Just thought I'd share my weekend NSV's and I hope you had some too!
