So tomorrow is baby girl's confirmation. And... one of my best friend's wedding in NYC.
Uh-huh. I am serious! No kidding...
We have to be at the church at 8:30 for the 9:00 AM First Communion and then we have to either high-tail it to the train station to get on the 10:48 train - that's if we are super lucky and the stars align in the exact way that we need them to OR we can meander our way to the train station and give our newly blessed daughter a decent farewell to make it for the 11:53 only to stress out as we approach the city with just one hour to spare for the wedding - and yes, in that spare one hour we have grab a cab to the Waldorf AND dress for the wedding.
Yup, that's right ladies... I am going to be a bundle of nerves tomorrow. Hell - I am already a bundle of nerves thinking about it!
Oh and hey Mr. ... I am officially apologizing in advance for anything I might say to you. There will surely be an, "asshole" here and maybe even a "f-you" there ... maybe even a, "f'ing asshole" if I am really over the edge and close to a breakdown. Just get me a glass of wine as soon as you possibly can when we finally get to the reception tomorrow evening. No questions, no proper hellos, just bee-line to the bar and grab me a much needed drink - preferably two. Oh and I love you even though it may not seem like it tomorrow around 2:30. k?

It's been 30 years since my last confession.
Baby girl had her first reconciliation tonight - she missed the scheduled date due to her stomach flu in February - this was the "makeup." As the kids were going into the confessional the teacher encouraged the parents to also take the sacrament to show support and to set a good example. I thought about it for a brief second thinking about what I might say... and then I realized I would have to go in and say, "Bless me Father for I have sinned. It has been 30 years since my last confession!!!" Seriously - it has been 30 years since my last confession. I am so going to hell.
One day detox update: Still going strong... although we went to dinner to celebrate baby girl's first reconciliation - and because Mr. is out of town and I didn't feel like cooking especially if I wasn't eating - and I had a glass of wine (so not good for the detox) with my salad. I ordered a double side salad because all of the other salads on the menu had "stuff" on it. So my daily intake was an orange, 2 bottles of seltzer, 2 cups of hot tea, and 2 salads (yellow peppers, celery and carrots on my at lunch and cherry tomatoes, carrot ts and cucumbers on my dinner salad). I am not hungry but would kill for a cookie!

Way too funny not to share - warning.
Warning - this video is definitely rated R but it is too funny! Mr. will love this (don't you honey?!)
This outfit from J.Crew...
This cute J.Crew Belted crinkle swing skirt and Linen-cotton henley tee (in white) is on it's way to my house as I type.
Do you like it as much as I do?
Doesn't it look comfy?
Expect to see me where it often.
My one day detox outfit...
This is what I am wearing today - I am calling it my one day detox outfit! :)
Yes - those are gray corduroys and yet it's May 1 but it's cool here in MD today and I am balancing the cords with flip flops so it's the perfect in between outfit! And obviously I am not wearing my jacket around the house - it will be perfect for later when we venture out of the house.
One day detox update...
It's 1:13 and I have not gone down for lunch. I am procrastinating!
A much needed detox.
Yesterday I ran in the morning (which was great) and then proceeded to eat like a piggy all day long starting with apple and peanut butter and Frosted Flakes for breakfast and ending with chips and salsa and a 5 pack of now & laters (my favorite candy by the way) at 10 PM. As I lay in bed last night and felt my stomach ballooning uncomfortably I decided I would take a one day detox - my way - today.
Did you know Beyonce lost more than 20 pounds on the Master Cleanse? Are you familiar with the Master Cleanse? There is no wonder how she lost 20 pounds - she didn't eat for a month on that program!! I've tried it before - I managed to last 4 days and then I had to eat! My father -in-law tried it and lasted 20 days - lost a ton of weight and said he felt awesome. Gained every pound back - so did Beyonce. The Master Cleanse consists of this really bad lemonade -lemons, Cayenne, maple syrup - it's eeww - a sea salt drink in the AM and a tea that scared me and is beyond "eeww." I wasn't "right" for days after (and that's all I'll say about that).
While some medical professionals will disagree, others say there are benefits to detox. Calorie restriction can lead to heightened feelings of psychological well-being. So basically what I am saying is, I know it's all in my head. Detoxing for one day might not REALLY do any good but it makes me feel better and that's what I need right now.
So am I really not going to eat all day long? Hello to the No! It's too damn hard to resist binging around 9 PM due to the hunger if you don't eat a damn thing all day long! I am shooting for water, green tea, and a nice green salad loaded with fresh veggies and sans (no) dressing (of course) for lunch and dinner. I am saying "NO" to sugar today. Maybe some plain celery for a snack later if I need it.
Do you think I can do it?
I'll keep you posted.
It's 12:40 PM - so far so good - an orange (for breakfast), one cup of green tea (no sugar no milk), and a bottle of seltzer so far today but I am headed down to the kitchen for my lunch salad... give me strength please... I am craving olives.
