dress advice


What do you think about this dress for an event that states "cocktail attire"? The dress is a shiny/foil-like linen and there is a thick row of sequins on the "V" neckline. I'm just concerned that it's not dressy enough. I have some gold heels similar to the picture. I did not go to the event last year, so I don't know what others will be wearing.


Please give me your honest opinion as I certainly don't want to be under-dressed.

tofu

Friday, we went to one of my favorite local restaurants. Their food is so different than all of the other chains and quite reasonable. Plus, we know the owner and that always helps.


Then we went to Whole Foods to get Tofu Shirtaki noodles. I learned about these noodles from the Hungry Girl book and email newsletter. I’m going to start back on Weight Watchers as soon as I get the motivation. I have low will power and need a lot of encouragement to get going. I just hate meal planning and constantly going to the grocery store. Plus, it makes it difficult for my husband and daughter, since they don’t eat what I prepare and usually it’s just one serving. I know, excuses, excuses. But I totally have to get in the right frame of mind to start counting points and keeping track of my eating. My goal is 25-30 pounds. About 5 years ago, I did WW myself (no meetings) and got down to a size 6. Of course, I gained it all back (and more!) I did go to meetings a couple of times last year, but I didn’t like that. I have the materials and will do everything on a spreadsheet, and weigh myself at home.

Saturday and Sunday both were quite uneventful. I pretty much read all afternoon and evening on Saturday. I could not put the book down. Can’t wait to read more by this author.

Back at work today. I have a planning meeting tonight for our upcoming American Cancer Society Late Night Gala. Hope everyone has a great week!

Flat Iron


Can anyone give a recommendation for a flat iron? I know there are some really good "professional" ones out there, but I really don't want to spend $100. I am thinking $25-$40.


Give me your thoughts....
