Dinners This Week and Crap I Have to Do

It was a lazy perfect Sunday but alas it is over. I cannot believe it is the last week of August. Summer is ending but Fall is just around the corner which makes me want to yell "PASHMINAS FOR EVERYBODY!!!". Yesterday I realised I do not have any rain boots and that made me sad. I'm kind of obsessed with the Hunter boots but they are out of my price range. I told the Husband that I would be purchasing a pair of rain boots and the convo went like this:

Me: I'm going to buy rain boots.
Him: Why?
Me: For the rain.
Him: It will stop raining.
Me: It will rain again.
Him: Rain boots are ugly.

Mawwiage. Sigh. So after work I will head down to a shoe store and buy the ugliest damn pair of rain boots. Or cute ones. I probably should get cute ones. I also need to purchase a rain coat. And maybe a cable knit sweater. I have visions of walking through rainy fields with the Kid on our estate. I have a lot of visions that involve us having an estate. I should have been a Kennedy.

I have so much to do this week:

- Finish the dress I am sewing for a friend
- Finish crocheting two scarves (SCARVES FOR EVERYBODY!!!)
- Make a Fall wreath (Friend wrote me about where to get burlap for her wreath, I told her to get off Pinterest. If she writes me about where to get mason jars I'm staging an intervention) I am going to make a wreath that will involve fake Fall flowers and a glue gun.
- Attend a wedding
- Maybe make myself a dress as well

So I'm going to be a little busy. After a weekend of debauched eating, I will be eating pretty clean this week. Smoothies and fresh pressed juices during the day and healthy dinners in the evening. The plan is:

Monday: Scrambled eggs and a bagel
Tuesday: Tom Kha Gai soup and rice
Wednesday: Fresh mozz sandwiches
Thursday: Chicken curry
Friday: Tomato soup and a grilled cheese

Last week of August! Last week of strapless dresses! Hurray!!!

Dressing your Pear Shaped Figure

Image
Welcome to today's class on pear shapes. Yesterday I talked about hourglass figures and today is the "Pear". Yay!!! To find out if you are pear-shaped, follow me! Like what I wrote yesterday, grab a pencil and piece of paper and measuring tape. Measure your ta tas, waist and hips. Then draw out the lines on a piece of paper (i.e. if your measurement is 90, draw a 9 centimeter line, etc.) If your drawing looks like this, you're a Pear shape! Mazel Tov! Ta tas:           ________________ Waist:               ____________ Hips:      ________________________ Your hips should be the widest part of your body and your waist, the smallest. Unlike an hourglass, you are more bottom heavy (not equally split). The advantage of being pear shaped is a defined waist and smaller top which means you can wear fun tops and belts at the waist and all the things that I can't wear! Boo. Celebrities with pear shapes a...

The Kid's Birthday Party and Holding it Together the Best I Can

Image
Tomorrow is the big day, the big show. The Kid is having his 4th birthday party. His actual birthday isn't until Tuesday but that day is the Fasching Party at the kindergarten. Fasching is the Austro/German carnival and it kind of sucks that Fasching sounds so like Fascist. Whooops. Adults and kids dress up on Fat Tuesday and eat jelly doughnuts in preparation for lent. Or, as I like to call it, sucks to be you. Us Jews just have to fast for a day. Holla! Winning! Sigh. Anyway... tomorrow is a big day for me. Even though it really is a big day for the Kid... but the truth of the matter is, is that he could not care less about a party. Or, at least, we don't think he does. As most of you know, he has lost his language this past year and it is heart breaking but I keep hope eternal that it will come back. I think he did say "Mommy" today when a commercial for the Victoria's Secret fashion show was on but the camera was on Ed Sheeran... so... actually... he proba...

How to Dress Rich - Old Money

Image
Back in March, the Husband and I enjoyed an amazing night at the Bristol. It was a gift from my parents and probably the most amazing thing about that night was that we got a complimentary upgrade. We laughed, we danced and then I stopped and said in a serious tone to the Husband "It's cause we dressed rich an you know it." And then I danced some more and drank Moet Chandon straight from the bottle. I have class and you know it. Dressing rich is not that hard and doesn't have to cost that much. Now I am not talking about Kardashian rich (that money is the money of Satan), I am talking old school money, country clubs and drinking scotch. Here are some tips to how you can dress to look rich for different occasions (please note that this is in no way making fun of rich people, poor people or any people. This is based on observations on my part and the deep seated desperation of wanting to be a rich WASP from the East Coast. Pick me!). Dressing old school money pretty m...
