Try and make this as short as possible. Big reception to go to next weekend, bought a dress, had it tailored, gained a few pounds, tried on dress, can't breath...slight panic.

Tried to quickly lose a couple of pounds by eating less, exercising more...right before time of month, gained a couple more.

Last minute dress shopping, very frustrated and discouraged, gave up, came home.

Went to outlet mall today, walked into Ann Taylor, bought a larger, more comfortable dress. Not ideal but have some pearls that match both colors in it and a pair of heels that look like it was made for this dress. Husband has a tie with the same colors in it.

Left store and went for pizza, frozen coffee drink, and a chocolate covered caramel from the chocolate store. Done deal.

At first I was ready to cry, then I decided to save that energy for a true crisis, and believe me, I've had a few. Life's too short.

Just a reminder for us all.
