Tonight, James and I are going to our annual "grown up" event, a cocktail party at a ritzy country club for his work. I look forward to it every year for the awesome food (prime rib and desserts), free wine (although couldn't have any last year!) and the dancing, or rather, watching everyone dance while drunk. We don't always dance because I usually wear shoes that I think look good, but don't necessarily feel good. You understand though, right? I have to look hot. It's the one event of the year that warrants a little black dress. Except there's one prblem, the LBD wasn't fitting so well this year. Well, it did, but my flabby post-preggo tummy wasn't looking so hot in a defined dress. Damn. I tried on everything, was ready to throw in the towel and just not go when almost everything showed my belly bulge (note to self: don't try on a dress at night after eating a #9 at Burger King, a milkshake, and a funnel cake). Anyway, I finally found a winner! I'll post pictures tonight!
Last night, we went to a Christmas light's show, hence the eating of the funnel cake. We chose to drive through the lights rather than ride the trolley because if Olivia cried, it wouldn't spoil it for everyone else. Thank goodness, because after initially loving the lights-- she squealed and clapped), she got some teething pain and started screaming while knawing with her one sharp tooth on her little hands. Yep, tooth #2 is making it's way up. What? No teeth for like, 8 months, and now suddenly 2 in 2 days? Sheesh. Anyway, once the pain subsided with the help of teething tablets, she was back to watching the lights.
Well, I'm off to the post office and then it's back home with my hot self to get ready for the party. I'm going to flat iron my hair. Last year, everyone was so interested in my tummy (I wore the cutest black, sequined pregnancy top with black maternity pants), so this year, we want the focus off my belly, so the plan is, if I have long flowing hair, maybe no one will notice the baby fat that should already be gone. On another note, I had a back check-up today. I have arthritis in several place in my back (injuries that have turned into arthritis from the accident). The doctor said I need to walk 5-7 times a week. Maybe that'll be the motivation I need to tone the tummers?

Are you going for a hair appointment any time soon? I hope to get Dawn for mine while I am home.
Enjoy Date night~

Posted by: Georgia Girl at December 15, 2006 07:48 PMYou are much too critical of yourself sometimes~I'm sure you'll look great. Have fun & can't wait to see pics. OH, I agree w/Lisanne~Justin & Kendall were (& Kendall still is) like that. It seems like once that 1st one comes thru, that's the stepping stone for the others!
Posted by: Connie at December 16, 2006 01:51 AMi hope you had a great time! i can't wait to see pictures. i wore my lbd to joe's fancy dinner at his school, but i felt like such a cow! hehe :)
Posted by: cady at December 16, 2006 10:16 AMThese teeth do come in fast once they start. Lila's first two came in at the same time, her third one is almost all the way out, and the fourth is just breaking through. I feel like I should by stock in teething tablets.
Have fun at your grown up event! Sounds like so much fun.
Posted by: Chas at December 16, 2006 03:38 PMSilly girl, you are so hot no matter what!! I am the same way with shoes. So last night at my family's party (also with prime rib, desserts & free drinks, YUM!!) I wore black pants and comfortable black shoes!! Strange experience for me :) Luckily Amelia went so everyone looked at her instead of my belly, heehee.
Amelia also has 2 teeth, apparently they both came in at once. What?!? I guess that's normal but I had no clue!
Posted by: girl from florida at December 16, 2006 11:20 PMI simply can't remember if I said "Hot LOcks"...RODNEY on Warm Springs....Call ahead...plan on a week wait...but he likes to work evenings more than an early shift...I think his earliest appt is 11 or 11:30...He was kinda quiet at first...but as I got SASSY he did too.
He found out I was tender headed, when I asked for a comb while he was styling another chic. He said "honey, I would have done this, but I may have hurt you..after all I can't feel what I am doing". I said "Oh Honey, if you had hurt me...you would have felt it too! " Well, we clicked at that moment...and knew how to ask for and or tell what the other wanted.
Posted by: Rebecca at December 17, 2006 01:25 AMI hope you had fun at your dinner party. I'm sure you looked amazing! Can't wait to see pics. And finally she's getting some teeth :) I thought for sure Ava was going to get hers months before she did. She just got them last month and still only has 2 teeth.
Posted by: Emmakirsten at December 17, 2006 06:24 AMI hope you had a great time. We are going to start walking tonight to and then in the new year I'll start jogging again.
