A Bikini Challenge

I originally started this blog as an online diary about turning myself into a Real Housewife- blonde, tan, thin - and then it evolved into something else and I love it. It has been a great outlet for me and it continues to be fun. I love the private and public messages I have received and I love seeing that I get more and more views as the months pass. It's a mish mash of different things - parenting, crafts, fashion, party planning, random thoughts and everything in between. Now that I feel like I am slowly getting my life back in order, I find that I have more time to focus on my original goal of getting fit. I may not need to turn myself into a Real Housewife, because honestly, that franchise is now dead to me. I just want to not avoid pictures anymore. I want to fit back into my fabulous clothes and I want to be a role model to myself. The past couple of weeks have been pretty amazing in terms of eating right and working out and I really want to continue this trend. So, (and I reserve the right to not follow through because I'm the boss of me) I am going to post a bikini/pin-up (bathing suit and a cute cover up and using vaseline on the lens) picture by June 1st.

That means that I have about 4 and a half months to lose about 25 pounds and re-discover a razor. I don't think it is a crazy goal but it won't be a walk in the park either. I feel that by posting this, I will have even more incentive to continue on with the eating of the good food and the working out. Oh God. What have I done? I need youse guys to keep me motivated. And if you want to join me, please please do! When I feel I have reached goal, I am going to get some pictures done to celebrate and will post them here. Then I will sit in front of my laptop with one eye closed and cringing, waiting for the comments.

So there you have it. A stupid and superficial challenge that I am really looking forward to. A poor man's Valerie Bertinelli, if you will. Who's with me?! Bueller? Bueller?

Disclaimer: I may or may not need to hire Kim Kardashian's Photoshop guru for the photoshoot. Again, I'm the boss of me.

Slowly an End of an Era

Image
Well hello there! Apologies for not writing for the last few weeks. It has been a wild few weeks with birthdays, conferences, work, events and so on and so forth. So really, business as usual. The big news is that in April I will be finally launching my new website which means that this blog will be slowly coming to an end. It's the next chapter and it's terrifying and exciting all at the same time. The website will be a great way for me to consolidate all of my projects and of course, to finally have something a little more professional (ha.ha). Operation Tubetop has been a lifeline these past... I think 6 years? If you have been a regular reader of this blog, you will have been through a wild ride with me. From raising an infant, to working full time again, from starting the Kid in kindergarten to being kicked out of kindergarten(s), from rebirthing to an autism diagnosis, from frustration to hope. It's been real. Really real. And I wouldn't trade my experiences for...

A Key Word Post

Image
I didn't have anything specific to post tonight because nothing terribly exciting happened over the weekend. Which is actually a good thing. That means it was a chillaxed weekend with no need to look up divorce lawyers or boarding schools for toddlers. So, that means that I will write things based on some key words... long story short, lots of short stories. So here we go! The daycare: This morning was my morning to bring the Kid. By 8 he was in his coat and shoes and I was in my fake fur vest and heels. We headed out and rounded the corner and walked through the front gate. He jumped out of his stroller and headed to the front door. It was locked. I tried a couple times to open it and the Kid started to whine. One of the providers came to the door and explained the daycare was closed for the day. Apparently it was staff development day and someone (the Husband) did not see the signs up last week that they were closed today. I apologized and tried to call the Husband while tryi...

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...
