Wow, where to begin?? Baby boy's birthday on Friday was wonderful! He was so happy with his gift and his favorite foods. My sister, whom I'm super close with, came over and enjoyed the celebration with us. For her (and me), I made vegan Jamaican black bean burgers that were incredible. Had a little spicy avocado on top of those lovely patties, and away I went into bliss-ville. The vegan carrot cake (and vegan chocolate cupcakes) are always a hit with the family, and were devoured in short order. Great day!!!
I even ran 2.5 miles after all that food. Wouldn't say that was a smart idea, but I did it!
Saturday I had a haircut/highlight/eyebrow/face wax. They worked me over from head to toe. I always enjoy my salon experience. I was happy, as usual, when I left the shop.
Decided on the more demure print for the reunion. And only because the more tropical one's straps were slightly loose, and kept falling nearly off my shoulders, therefore exposing the ole boulder holder. Not so pretty. I need some of that double stick tape to keep everything together. I love that dress, though, and wished I could've worn it. BUT, the more demure print dress was also nice. It did show quite a bit of cleavage...I tried to relax about that, saying: FatMom, you're 38 years old...it's not as if you're 17. It's OK to show a little chest. Ok, ok...
We did take a few pictures, but...I haven't seen them yet. If they're ok, I will consider posting. HOWEVER, I don't know how to blur out everyone else's faces. Hmmm...
The reunion itself was lovely, though. I did have a nice time. Everyone was super friendly. The girls looked ok. Not great, but ok. I think it's because a lot of them smoke. Probably as a way to stay thinner? I don't know...but it sure shows on their faces. Man, I'd rather be a bit chubby and have nice skin than be thinner and have my skin look like crap because I've smoked since the 80's. The guys? HOLY CRAP...most of them looked like hell. And they were either SUPER thin, or pretty gosh darn chunky. I like a man to feel like a MAN when I hug him...not like a twig I may crush. Not many attendees looked HEALTHY...But nice? Yes, everyone was lovely. Good time...
Not going to weigh for a few days. I actually drank some alcohol at the reunion, and couple that with some dessert and salty foods, and...well, you can guess the rest. Got to give my body a few days to come back down to normal.
Gonna be busy the next few weeks. My son is taking a class at the state university three days a week, and today is his first class. That's at 1...so, I'm arf to school to sand a wall...I know you're jealous...admit it...
Ciao,
FatMom

I'm glad you went.
I sure hope a picture turns out and you can hide the face (I have no idea how to do that either!)
I am SO glad that you went to your reunion and had a good time!!! Seriously - that makes me really happy. I hope that we get to see pictures too. Even if you just leave them up for a day and take them down again. I don't know how to blur people out either, so that's why I just crop everything.
I really enjoyed your comment about how you came across the Redbook article. It made me laugh out loud thinking of how excited you were for me. :) Thank you so much for all of the support you have given to me - it has meant the world.
